Basically exdh and I were ripped off big style by his brother. We were duped into lending him a huge sum of cash. He send emails of evidence that he was going to be getting a huge cheque (over 250K) So exdh lent him over 16K. Madness I know.
Exbil asked for another 6K and I said I felt something wasn't right. So I went over the email and noticed the typesetting wasn't right. The 5 on the date was different to a 5 on the amount. I guessed he'd already had this cash and had just altered the date to look like he was getting it.
He'd had a lavish wedding and been spending like crazy. I can't reveal too much about the reason for the big payment as it'd out him. He was semi famous put it that way. So I reckoned they'd spent up and he was trying to fleece a few people.
He conned his parents and other people including friends. Then they had to move away. Were very secretive about where.
Exdh is in touch with him now but only occasionlly. How he can stomach him I don't know? Exdh could do with the cash as he isn't earning much now. That won't happen though.
The only reason I didn't do anything is I adore my exmil and late exfil. Now exmil is dying I think I'd like to at least scare him into maybe paying some back? Once she goes not yet.
But maybe he knows his rights? This happened years ago, around 9.
I have the evidence still on my old PC so could unearth it.
I think seeing him squirm would at least give me some joy.
He doesn't bother with his mum so I have no worries about hurting his feelings. Oh well he does to get cash off her. She's lovely too
Exdh definitely hasn't had the cash back. I know that for a fact. Although wouldn't put it past him to lie too but I do know he hasn't.
Any help much appreciated.TIA
