Your Dudeness, totally agree, but was trying to stimulate some ideas as to how to make the suckers (incl me!) avoid the same trap. Sh1t happens but the same offenders shouldn't be able to get away with the scam again and again. We could try the name and shame on PPRuNe, but its dodgy.....and non pruners wouldn't hear the warning.....I guess that's why they should sign up!
I got "done" once, tried the legal avenue and just compounded my losses!
Chimbu, that DOES work, only problem being that you need to know you are not going to be paid before "borrowing" the Tech log, C of A, Insurance cert. Iridium handset etc. Has been used to great effect to my certain knowledge on several occasions!
