Never lend money to your company's MSSQL DBA.<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgm_RVgHMZZuGOdR_K5bZaoyjJV67jbOvNJBHJBIzz7uKy8nxqZGzAGipCte6PgeybrOZfXJpvqjwxtJMPuS3RPrSfa0qlPKvZX2k9c2WAg8T-oIwpL_40VtA_7FTFpSWgjlM2ruii2oqM/s1600-h/coglione.png"></a><br /><br /><div align="justify"><span style=";font-family:verdana;font-size:78%;" >(I hope this story help good hearted people to watch from cold hearted scammers)</span><br /><span style="font-size:180%;"></span><br /><span style=";font-family:arial;font-size:180%;" ><em>Once upon a time,</em></span><br /><br /><span style=";font-family:arial;font-size:78%;" >I came to work in Amsterdam and I thought I had a good colleague, I was always so nice to him, <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjkN_mD3osp0ZWoRBRNf2x8LDllgXxrufe_UXxTAiDg-rqbv-iEPng9ttiR-fmDqDtxjvKvTLt2XytOL_vjTuHX8C8RuyDQkaQHt-ubuk3YTD_7JWA28_TjU45znNX0D8ugKhgEkfCrklU/s1600-h/coglione.png"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5336503233795699874" style="margin: 0px 0px 10px 10px; float: right; width: 150px; height: 225px;" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjkN_mD3osp0ZWoRBRNf2x8LDllgXxrufe_UXxTAiDg-rqbv-iEPng9ttiR-fmDqDtxjvKvTLt2XytOL_vjTuHX8C8RuyDQkaQHt-ubuk3YTD_7JWA28_TjU45znNX0D8ugKhgEkfCrklU/s320/coglione.png" border="0" /></a>I also give him a good feedback on Linkedin! After one month we knew each other he asked me for money, he said he had problems with his credit card and had to leave for Romania the morning after, it was september 2008. I drove for more 30kms to bring him money.<br />After many many months he gave me a part (probably it is a technique), in the meantime he was buying things for himself, a house in purmerend, all the furniture, his eletronic gadgets so much beloved by him(<span style="color: rgb(204, 153, 51);">'a deambox with a dish equipped with a multilnb to catch multiple satellites in the same time'</span>)<br />The funny thing is that he was telling me the things he was buying, and for the dreambox he showed me the invoice to see how expensive it was!<br />He then decided to leave this nice company to go and earn more money,in a financial company in Amsterdam as well.<br />Only the last weeks he was sitting in the office face-to-face to me, I understood something bad was in his thoughts, strange answers(<span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);">'I have to discuss with my wife'</span> <span style="color: rgb(204, 102, 0);">For my money?!</span>) , foolish excuses(<span style="color: rgb(51, 102, 102);">'I've lost your bank account number'</span>), and weird behaviours(<span style="color: rgb(102, 0, 204);">'leaving office head down without saying hello when asked about money'</span>), too many for a simple act.<br />I did not want to believe it. I am good hearted and feel good when I help people.<br />After the last 'story' ( <span style="color: rgb(153, 51, 153);">"I have just made the transfer"</span> )the last day (29 April 2009) in the company <span style="color: rgb(0, 153, 0);">I realized that I was not going to get my money back. </span><br />For two weeks I sent mails, sms, phone calls, chats, not an answer. I prayed him and his wife to answer me. Completely ignored. Now I know that it has always been in its mind, he never replied to me on a written fashion so not to have a written proof of his debt. During the many months he had his debt I never wanted to ask for my money in front of the team not to ashame him. <strong><span style="color: rgb(51, 0, 51);">I really feel stupid now</span>.</strong> My friends who knew the story were amazed of how he could be so natural in sitting in front of me without feeling a bit ashame in telling about the expensive gadgets he was buying while ignoring the debt he has with me.</span></div><span style="font-family:arial;"><br /><div align="justify"><span style="font-size:78%;">But then came the day, <span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">Friday 15th May</span>, when I realized that sometimes bad people start paying for their bad actions on this earth! His new ex-company, that deals with money (a lot of) <span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 153);">makes very deep investigations on people,</span> luckily.</span></div><div align="justify"><span style="font-size:78%;">After 10 days of work they discovered something is wrong with the dude,<strong> <span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">they fired him</span></strong>.<br /></span></div><br /><br /><div align="justify"><span style="font-size:78%;"><em><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 102);">Praise the Lord.</span></em><br /></span></div><br /><div align="justify"><span style="font-size:78%;">Good Luck to all good people.</span></div><div align="justify"><span style="font-size:78%;"></span></div><p><span style="font-size:78%;"><strong>The Bottom Line:</strong> <span style="color: rgb(0, 102, 0);">Usually MSSQL DBAs are not so bad (apart that they are Microsoft!) but if he is romanian you have some chances to be scammed. Seriously WHENEVER you lend money make a signed paper, that will save you a lot of problems and months of anger.</span><span style="color: rgb(0, 102, 0);"></span></span></p><p><span style="color: rgb(255, 255, 255);font-family:webdings;font-size:78%;" ><span style="color: rgb(0, 51, 51);"><span style="font-family:courier new;"><span style="color: rgb(255, 255, 255);font-family:webdings;" >MARIAN ARDELEANU ardeleanumarian MARIAN ARDELEANU ardeleanumarian MARIAN ARDELEANU ardeleanumarian MARIAN ARDELEANU ardeleanumarian MARIAN ARDELEANU ardeleanumarian MARIAN ARDELEANU ardeleanumarian MARIAN ARDELEANU ardeleanumarian MARIAN ARDELEANU ardeleanumarian MARIAN ARDELEANU ardeleanumarian MARIAN ARDELEANU ardeleanumarian DELEANU ardeleanumarian MARIAN ARDELEANU ardeleanumarian MARIAN ARDELEANU ardeleanumarian MARIAN MARIAN ARDELEANU ardeleanumarian MARIAN </span></span></span></span></p></span>Voice of the Truthhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00703042579501273445noreply@blogger.com
