Is it true?

fishbuck - 2-28-2009 at 01:22 PM

Recently a story was posted here about a very serious car accident.
It was a first time post by someone that is a complete stranger to the board. And the story is 100% unvarifiable.
Now you are being asked to donate blood. Are any of you going to traval to a Tijuana hospital to donate blood? I'm not and I live fairly close.
If this is a con then this person knows that. So I would anticipate the next request to be for cash.
I hope I am wrong about this. But it is quite possible that this person was a lurker who is aware that many people here are willing to help those in need.
I have tried to verify this story and have not be able to verify any part of it. And some parts may be true. And some parts could be complete lies
So be careful. No one on this board knows this person.
It may be a true story. Or it may be a very clever emotional con job.

Bajahowodd - 2-28-2009 at 01:51 PM

Fishy- I think you may be a little too cynical here. The last post neither stated that there was a confirmed need for blood, nor did it ask for it. Only making the assumption that if needed, some folks on this board (are nice enough) may offer. Let it play out. No crime yet. Probably never.

fdt - 2-28-2009 at 02:01 PM

Ok Bucko, If you send me a donation for gas money, lunch for me and the kids and enough to buy a phone card I'll investigate for you

Bajahowodd - 2-28-2009 at 02:13 PM

Do you take personal checks?

Welcome to Baja Nomad Mike. Thank you very much for having stoped to help these people. FYI it was a hit and run and both were taken to the Cruz Roja Hospital as you can see here :
http://www.el-mexicano.com.mx/noticias/estatal/2009/02/26/ca...

I did call right now to check and of course information can not be given over the phone but they are both alive. I wasn't even told if they were stable, the most I got is that the child is still there and the father is there, they did not tell me were the mother was transfered to.
You've not only rudely challenged the honesty, integrity & motives of MikeLikeBaja simply because of what he posted as his first post, but now you're also challenging fdt's veracity, as well as the news source he provided AND fdt's confirming telephone call to the hospital??????:mad:

Give it a rest, it's been made abundantly clear by many other posters on the original thread that you are alone in your cynical disillusions.

Of course no one here would expect you to go to TJ to donate blood....you've personally thoroughly documented the fact that you only go to TJ to donate sperm & puke!

Legs, isn't it a little hard for you to stay on your high horse when you mind and mouth are in the gutter? Please cease your personal attacks on me immediately or I will report you.
These internet scams are quite common. And FDT has not be able to verify any part of this story. No one has.
There was a small newspaper story. How do you know that the poster didn't just read the same story in the paper and then inject themselves in it to scam you here?
It happens.

Bajahowodd - 2-28-2009 at 02:28 PM

How does this come close to qualifying as an internet scam? No has asked for anything? Or do have proof that the original poster is Nigerian?

Poor fishbuck, he is clearly displaying the symptoms related to can't-fly-to-baja-sindrome. Recent studies show it will get worse unless the patient seeks attention from the late night care givers of Avenida Revolucion.

The only high horse I tend to get on is to speak up when I witness people unfairly being treated rudely & offensively.

MY "mind and mouth are in the gutter"???? Look within yourself. I don't post T&A pics, I don't post detailed exploits of debauchery in TJ, I don't post step-by-step instructions on how-to conduct business with prostitutes.

"Please cease your personal attacks on me immediately or I will report you." Awwwww, you poor baby!! I had no idea you were so sensitive!:( You can dish it out to newbies like MikeLikeBaja, but when it comes back at you in kind, you're much more thin-skinned I see! News flash, the only reason I know what you donate in TJ is because of YOUR OWN posts. You feel the urge to report me, be my guest! What are you going to tell Doug? That I'm picking on you? That my mind & mouth are in the gutter? That I had big enough brass ones to call you on your personal attack of a newbie?

All you other jokesters, I don't KNOW FB other than through his posts & I prefer to keep it that way...I'm pretty sure that's a two-way street!:yes: Though how I'll ever deal with my sleep loss over that sad deprivation in my life is beyond me!:lol:

And yes I'm a real person, many many Nomads from Canada to Cabo & even a few from other countries have met me! Any who have met me are hereby granted permission to divulge my true character & Uhhhhhhhh.....Errrrrrrr.....my inseam length.

I believe you

I have met longlegs. She is a character. Not sure of her inseam but I'm guessing 60"

I have met fishbuck. I can also verify that he is a character. His inseam is a bit shorter.

For those of you who are Fishbuck haters he has a point. Unless one of you personally knows the person who says they stopped at the scene etc. the possibility exists that the person is a troll and what Fishbuck is saying may be true.

There are just a tiny few who seem to get a thrill out of jumping on old time posters... They pick on a Nomad with well over 1,000 posts because he was wondering if there is some other sources of info on the story, from a Nomad with less than 10 posts (and all in one thread)...? Not unreasonable, given the talk of blood donations.

I would wonder about stories from any newbie who comes here with such drama as a first post instead of introducing himself with some background about his Baja experiences or questions.

Fishbuck doesn't hide why he's going to Baja... (maybe he should, as far as the lady-seeking stuff?)... But, this is a forum... read it if you want... but if you don't have something to contribute or say nice, why are the few so compelled to complain and be just rude?

Now, back to posting photos of old piles of rocks!:lol::light:

comitan - 2-28-2009 at 06:23 PM

When you started posting on this forum you posted a far out story about your life, nobody questioned you. Why would anyone make up a story like what was posted about the woman & her daughter, that I personally believe what he went through and think Fishbuck and you are out of line!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I contacted a bajanomad early on about an injustice to me here in baja without giving my baja experiences beforehand. Thankfully the bajanomad did not question my story. And I'm happy to say that the bajanomad was longlegsinlapaz! I learned alot during that time and I'm still learning. And yes, she has long legs, and is a super nice person too.

Perhaps the unbelievers would care to post their stories of how they were duped after responding to a cry for help on this forum. May help us understand why they feel the way they do about this particular story.

As stated Fishbuck has a point. The incident is real but we all know someone could inject themselves into the story for whatever reason. A 9/11 fraudster was sentenced to 15 years for stealing millions of dollars which was to go to the victims of the 9/11 terror attacks.

Sorry David, but I don't consider Fishbuck to be an old time poster. True, he's been registered since Aug. of '06, but "old time" I don't agree.

Quite a few of his posts had nothing to contribute to the board other than how bored some topics made him feel, or to brag about his tally on certain types of women, or to flaunt the fact that he drives too quickly and cares little to anything about the other lives he puts in danger besides his own.

I think Fishbuck is the one who "got a thrill" out of jumping on a new poster, who in my opinion probably thought that the Nomad board was a group of caring individuals who would understand his concern for the victims of the accident.

Why would a new poster on the troll make his first troll about helping others, wanting to follow up on fellow human beings and mention donating blood? What would he have to gain from such a troll?

Regarding the common belief that first time posters should properly introduce themselves and list their baja experiences in order to qualify and be accepted as a true Nomad is a bit snobbish.

There have been many people who have come to the Nomad board that are new to baja and want to learn from others. There are many Nomads who don't feel the need to brag.

I am embarrassed when new posters come to the board only to be greeted by cynical Nomads who don't represent the Nomad board in a good light.

I think that the board has lost a few newbies that could have ended up contributing a great deal, or learned from those willing to share, but were turned away because of the welcome they received, or lack there of.

I don't think new posters should be discriminated against because of they didn't introduce themselves or list baja accomplishments. I think it was obvious that this new poster had the needs of others on his mind vs. thinking only of himself first.

Your last statement regarding this being a forum, ... read it if you want... if you don't have something to contribute or say nice, why are the few so compelled to complain and be just rude...

If that is true, then IMO Fishbuck could learn a little something from that. So often what he posts falls into the catagory of nothing to contribute ("boring" ) or being nice. I don't think this thread that he started would fall into either of those two catagories.

That is my 2 pesos worth, maybe a little bit more. Fishbuck doesn't hide his baja adjenda, Longlegs wasn't out of line in calling him out. I believe she calls it as she sees it, and she's got good eyesight.

No problem. Also, I didn't mean to delete the original post that you quoted above. It was showing up twice on my screen, so I thought I was deleting a double post. Oops.

First, let me say that i LOVE this forum. Many/most of the members have been so helpful to me. and a few have been rude, insensitive, and uncaring. At one point, i decided to leave because i found it embarrassing to ask a question, fearing being ridiculed or made fun of. Luckily, a few really kind members have u2u'd me and i have made friends and decided that if i sensed that when i needed some help, i would not make my needs public, and just wrote privately to them. This thread has given me the opportunity to share my experiences in the area of being a newbie. there is enough trouble in the world without any of us being unkind to one another. All in all, i find this one wonderful, helpful forum and hope that when i am feeling that i need some help in paving the way to a new country that i will have this place to go. thank u...my 2 pesos!!!
