Maybe, he was your neighborhood always smile to you when you meet him, or your colleague usual as agentlemen looks like, or your friend invited you to his home to show his great shells collection , or as a somebody you seen has a honest face, good reputation, elegant manner, but now, I will expose his other side of face to you, he is a fraud to cheat my $260 and a lot of specimen shells valued $640,
who named Marcos Aurelio Alvarez Fernandez,
address was Correo aereo 0415-00-74 Bugaba Chiriqui Panama Republic of Panama.

Does anyone knew this guy? Or something about him ? I will have a compelling presentation showing here.

I didn't know anything about him before but I and everyone else has a whole lot of info on him now.

about four months ago he sent an eamail to me for exchange shell , in first time we did once exchange shells, that was no problem. then, he offered me some shells for sell, I paid $260 to buy his shells and sent a parcel of 95 shells valued $640 for second exchange with him, but two months past I just received an empty box from him without shell inside.

Scams are very common in Panama whether real estate, financial or a myriad of others. It is small consolation but you are just one of many. These scammers are numerous and very smooth in their operations. There is a reason the old term for them was "confidence men" because thats what they do, gain their victims confindence to extract maximum amount from them. Expect no help from police or courts in Panama as this type of behavior is considered normal as evidenced by lack arrest and prosecution. Your guard must be up all the time in Panama. Sorry this post sounds negative but I have read and talked to enough people local and expat to know this true.

thank you for your commont, I just want more people to know this cheat and protect themself from it.

your means that maybe you could introduce some cheaters to me ?

I am a collector and have been warned by one American and two European buyers not to do business with him. Apparently he owes several thousand dollars back to people. I also found his name in several transvestite prostitute sites

I also found his name in several transvestite prostitute sites

Now I am really confused!!

It is risky to do any type of business using the mail here in Panama. Period.

I just finished an email exchange with him 10 minutes ago---how fortunate that I found this site. He refuses to send the shells first. I have emailed him 4 different website hits from people saying he is a crook but he wont respond to those. He wants all my oney first. Too bad, as he has something I want BADLY! If I knew someone trustworthy in David, Id send them the money plus pay and Marcos could hand over the shel for the cash. I tried to find such a service but cant.

The man is a con. Why are you even corresponding with him? Well, its kind of fun corresponding with crooks I guess. Do you bait the Nigerians also? Fun stuff.

That's the key to every scam--have some thing people want. It's his golden goose. He won't give it up to you or anyone else. It's how he makes money.

I know of somebody in David that knows people in Bugaba. If I remember I will ask him about Marcos Aurelio Alvarez Fernandez.
