1/21/12 THIS
GUY STOLE $280 FROM ME on 1/19/12 ...
I bought an airplane ticket from him (or so I thought)...he said he booked it using his credit card... I received an itinerary & confirmation # from continental airlines while sitting there at the mcdonalds with him, & thought it was legitimate, but it is now 1/21/12 and I couldn't print the boarding pass & I called continental and they said the ticket has not yet been purchased, only reserved

...I made this short video tape just in case
it was a scam, thinking I would at least have his photo,,,and he showed me a
driver's license with the name "andres will levy" (by email he goes
by "will elle") & an address of 167 s. normandie, LA 90004...we
met at the mcdonalds near wilshire & normandie in los angeles...he said he
worked for asiana airlines (nearby ?), given I met him in person & got a
confirmation & itinerary and also had his ID I assumed it was legit (he
explained he gets the travel miles & gets the bonus points on his credit
card, etc)..but now he doesn't respond to email (Will Elle ripthesky84@yahoo.com )
or phone (323-739-4574) or text ). I
thought he was a decent young man who was struggling to make ends meet. In
fact, I gave him $280 for the bogus $275 ticket and told him to keep the change
thinking it would help him out.
He really suckered me.
He really suckered me.

& SHAME ON CONTINENTAL/UNITED AIR: I
talked to a "Ms. Brooks" at Continental Air (who was allegedly a
"supervisor" but she wouldn't give me her ID NO. And showed no
sympathy nor concern ...saying I "made a poor choice"...in paying
this "gentleman"...I said "Gentleman?" This guy's no gentleman.
I said "You're not even going to take down the information to prevent
others from possibly being scammed?" And she responded coldly that it was
"not their responsibility" and kept asking if I wanted to go ahead
and purchase the $800 ticket. Is she mentally ill?
If I had $800 I wouldn't be hoping for a good
deal on craigslist? And why doesn't she care about taking down the information
to prevent others from getting ripped off or to help in prosecuting this guy?!
I also called LAPD (213-382-9102) and spoke with
Officer Delatorre (Olympic division) and he said it would be better if I came
in to the police department (on Vermont Ave) to make the
report. Subsequently I made a report at this precinct office (via. Officer
Moon) around 730pm (on 1/21/12). I also discovered he has scammed AT LEAST TWO
OTHER people recently. I was planning to fly to Washington DC to support the
pro-life movement (the biggest annual pro-life, right-to-life, march this year
is on January 23, 2012).
I CAN'T AGREE ON CONTRACT UNTIL I TALK TO THE
OTHER 2 VICTIMS, but here's the info.

dot com" .*On the ID the name was Andres Will Levy . *He used phone # 323-739-4574 .
