Open letter to Richard Garvie aka Tallboy aka Racing Rivals...

...not that I can particularly be bothered wasting any more time on the guy, but this is an interesting wikipedia entry, obviously written by him, but with a rather amusing spoiler inserted by one of his victims halfway down the page. Quite funny really...

But still, for those of us who, basically, havnt a clue whats going on and are currently working from snippets, would someone care to enlighten us on what has been said and, crucially, not delivered?!?!

I know what I said in the last post...but this is just hilarious...

I'm assuming most of you have at least viewed the social networking site Facebook, if not as regular users. The idea is that you post a profile of yourself, and people who know you (or not) ask to be your "friend" so they can interact with you. Anyway, there is a special category for public figures and celebrities, and as clearly loads of people would want to be a friend to someone overtly in the public eye, the great and the good can opt for people to simply view their profile as "fans", rather than being able to contact them directly. Popular examples of stars who've done that include Lewis Hamilton (45,415 fans) and Michael Jackson (158,246 fans) etc etc...

So...check out who has registered himself as a public figure/celebrity...

Current fan count...? Well, it's a very round number!!!


Isn't that just tooo funny???!!!

Well as I said in the thread starter, Steve; he claimed he had obtained sponsorship from Mars for the Farnborough event. He and I even had detailed conversations as late as Wednesday about how the cash would be apportioned, and which bank account he would be paying it into.

Like most conmen, he's very plausible. Unlike many conmen, he appears to have been stopped before he's done any real harm, in our circle at least.

I can't be arsed starting a crusade, as I'm sure he's not going to affect me or anyone I know in the future.

Happy to share what little information I have though if anyone needs a hand with any actions.

Far be it for me to act as a Mod but methinks people should be careful about what they say on a public forum about an individual.

i was also drawn in, and even publicised the facebook group here (which drew its own criticism!!)

I've posted a link to this post on the Facebook group....and left the group. Hopefully others will do the same and in the course of time a new group will probably arrive run by a decent person.

From what I've read on the various pages, the only lies seem to be perpetuated by Mr Garvie himself.

However, I concur that one has to be careful what one says these days, expecially since the NoTW lost their "Spankygate" case the other day.
