Poland SCAM???

OK, I need to know if any of you have heard about a Canadian gentleman who is arranging for people to get to Poland faster?? Here's an e-mail someone sent me from him-
Let me know if you are still interested in the Liberation treatment from Dr Simka and his team in Poland. Do not let the people who are attacking the pricing and my integrity keep you from getting treated. I am the only person who has a few places open and available. I will be happy to provide you with personal or business references. You can check me out on Facebook and Linked In.
I wish there was an easier way to test you then to fly all the way to Poland. There is a lot of noise on the various blogs about the new higher pricing that Dr Simka and I established when setting up the new venture. Nobody likes higher prices but $20,000 compared to the $80,000 Dr. Dake is charging at Stamford (and his waiting list is full) should give you an idea that if you decide to go ahead you are getting a great value for your money. We want to make the Liberation treatment mainstream and to finance a 1,000 patient trial we need to charge the $20,000 fee to cover all kinds of other expenses.
If you are not comfortable with the $5,000 deposit let me know how much you are comfortable with and I will secure you the examination and tentative operation dates with confirming emails from Poland.
You can pay the balance 14 days prior to departure.
New higher prices??? WT... Dake's list full??? Lots o' lies. The guy has been posting on the FB page (and I keep erasing his posts) but I think he needs to be reported to some business bureau in Canada, right? Guys, help me out....what should we do? This guy is creepy...and he's lucky I'm not putting his name or business name on the web.

Cheer,
you should ABSOLUTELY post his name and business. We can not allow anybody to try and take advantage of this lifeline. I had a feeling this would happen and as a fellow Canadian to this "douche" it makes me sick. Expose him!!!!

They are paying for the privilege of him relaying info back and forth for a fee. If it ever gets there that is. I wondered how long it would take for the scam artists to come out of the woodwork. They waste no time preying on people who are in need and desperate. I think someone should reply, then say, "sure, just tell me what to do" and when he says "wire the money to xxx account", that's wire fraud or at a minimum conspiracy, and totally traceable, probably to Kenya or Nigeria.
He/she needs to be dealt with immediately with the strongest of (legal) measures.

He has his fingers in a lot of different pies, and is a businessman (ID's, gold, location sets, etc.) who smells opportunity and is trying to capitalize on that, in the wrong place of course. He needs to shoo fly shoo away and do his OWN advertising on his own site. Far as I can tell tho, he is a legit businessman. (Assuming of course the one on the FB page is really him). He even squeeks clean on the BBB site in Canada. That's all I have time for, if someone wants to toss some $$ his way, and they have it, go for it at their own risk. Otherwise I'd make my own arrangements.

I'd post his name and info Cheerleader. There are plenty of us Canadians on here that can make phone calls to try and stop this.
Depending on where he's located there are plenty of fraud lines to call and newspapers that love this sort of story.

Cheerleader, Please contact the RCMP Fraud Squad immediately. He most
likely is not from Canada as most of these scams come from Nigeria
internet cafes. We have a hugh problem in Canada with this type of crime
because the scums in Africa play on the not bad guy image of Canada
to victimize innocent people.

It's quite shocking to me, still, how low people will go. This a$$£*!e needs stopping, and possibly worse.

mangio, unfortunately Steven & Ruth are looking pretty "blond" and they have a lot of "blondish" friends on facebook as well.
