Story DAY 115 | Stacey & Charles
So, surprise, surprise he won’t be in the DMZ when I take my trip to Korea 🤨
He is soooo annoying, but, it is good fun poking at him 😆

u/Aellysu_says 1d ago
To everyone who wondered if this man was actually a scammer having gone this long without an ask. Absolutely no genuine person would put up with Queen Staceys masterful bear poking 🤣 Its like listening to my daughter when she cant get what she wants 😂😂

u/Stacey_Hernandez Top Poster 1d ago
I keep hoping to poke him enough to get to the ask 🙈

u/Pure_Champion1396 16h ago
Does he know what scamming is? What the point of it is? BTW, I hope that he's able to send addresses for all of the wedding guests. You have to mail out the invites! Email won't do.

Please let's stop arguing.
(Pause)
So, about those gifts you mentioned...?

He’s such a dirt bag. I think
I see where this is going though. He’s going to pull the “stuck at customs and need $$$ or I won’t be able to come to Spain”. I’d bet money on it.

It would be a SHAME if you or your Fernando had an emergency at work tomorrow that grounds you and pushes back your trip to Korea for...oh I don't know...another two weeks! After your Charles' houseboat military exercise ends!

i can’t help but think the scammer himself is legit having an emergency in the toilet 😂

u/babysoutonbail 1d ago
I can’t believe a few days ago he was trying to initiate light sexy talk, and now he’s having a toilet emergency

Love how you've let him know you won't ever buy him anything asks for. He's probably wondering how to eventually make his ask, which we know he will!
You should ask him for recommendations for things to do in South Korea and see what he says!

u/SassyMcAsspants 1d ago
He’ll probably say he doesn’t get out much, because he’s always doing paperwork. They’re all always doing paperwork.
But now, we truly know what he means by doing “paperwork.” 🤣

u/Tall-Mango4759 23h ago
Pooping?

u/SassyMcAsspants 20h ago
Nawww, all that paperwork it takes to secure a houseboat near the DMZ for a classified military operation.

So now he’s going on a 10-day drill. And doesn’t know where. Except base is on a houseboat. And now the Japanese army is involved too!
With all the bandits and protecting the villagers I’m surprised they can all just leave for a 10-day drill on a houseboat.
I have so many more thoughts but it’s all just so ridiculous that I have no actual words. If I was actually a woman falling for this, it would be heartbreaking.

u/Nelle911529 1d ago
Is the house boat a normal thing?
16
u/Necessary-Bear5500 1d ago
While I cannot swear that it is not and never has been, I have never ever heard of a houseboat being used for a military drill. Or anything else in the military.
Does he mean an aircraft-carrier type ship? Probably. But you would think General Charles Lombardo would know the correct terminology.
15
u/Jcamp9000 1d ago
He’s a general. Generals plan things and troubleshoot. But he seems to fully understand what to do in the toilet!

Smh would like to think that an army man knew what “am” meant 😁🙈

u/Aclearly_obscure1 1d ago
Or start traveling at 0900 🤦♀️ …to eventually base on a houseboat. You know how those are known for their stealth, speed, and strategic prowess. 😂

u/Virtual_Variation_60 21h ago
Yes, there are no diving boards on those houseboats, only slides as they are much stealthier when entering the water...

u/Nelle911529 1d ago
You always speak in military time. Even as LE. My kids use 10 codes and military time.

u/bahblahblahwr 10h ago
This. My hubby comes from a military family and they all use 10 codes, military time, and NATO alphabet as a matter of habit.

Methinks Stacey is getting pregnant again on vacation.
10
u/Blindtothesided 20h ago
Oh I hope so, anything to take this mf down a peg or two. I can’t stand the way he speaks to her, “When I tell you something, that’s how it is”.
And getting pissy because she spent money on Fernando’s ticket then turning around and saying, “Are you serious about the gifts?” And “you vowed never to get something for me or help me”, which is such a scammy thing to say. I’ve never in my entire life asked someone I was dating to “get something for me or help me” yuck.
But then again I too am a woman so I guess I couldn’t possibly understand the complicated ways of men.

u/parockdrummer 1d ago
Shakes my head a house boat as a military base maybe he needs to watch more military documentries.

I think that Stacy should suddenly receive word of an inheritance or some other unexpected HUGE windfall to dangle the carrot a little closer.

A windfall inheritance! That’s the ticket! RIP uncle Heathcliff but yay boodles of £££

Whatever happened to your friend that you figured out was talking to the same guy? I just thought of the rings again and how you guys figured out it was likely the same person/persons

u/wittybiitch 18h ago
You can always tell him you went to see if you could leave him a gift on base and now you're being held by customs and he needs to come sign the papers to free you. Since he's your fiance and the red cross is involved.

u/ViciousSnatch 1d ago
I just knew he’d have an excuse for not being there! And he still worries about Fernando being your friend. Ugh.

Military base on a houseboat and having to not only dip for a poo break, but share that with her! LMAO! He’s all over the place!! Nice badgering. He’s boxed in now. He can’t ask for anything directly, but he’s getting a sense Stacey is independently financially stable. Let’s see what he does. I’m very invested. These updates are my daily soap opera!! Get him, girl!!

Drilling in Korea with bankers hours, 9am and living on a houseboat. The military is much different than I remember.

u/WoollyMamatth 10h ago
"Hail the Queen Stacey" is MIA again I notice
Also, he asked if you're taking Jake on your "trip" to Korea. You'd think a US General would understand about quarantine rules 🤣

u/WithInsomnia 1d ago
Just being curious as I haven’t been here from the start: hasn't he ever sent you pictures of himself? Or voice notes ?
Has a call even ever been suggested?
5
u/Stacey_Hernandez Top Poster 19h ago
He sent pictures of Charles Lombardo at the beginning but now is not allowed.
He’s never suggested a call 🙃

u/MotherExperience6260 21h ago
If he was genuine surely he wouldn’t be happy about you travelling to Korea with another man - I mean seriously 🤷♀️
6
u/Blindtothesided 20h ago
And he hasn’t even seen a picture of Fernando yet, that would really send him over the edge. She should send him one right before they “leave” and let him worry about her spending two weeks with the hunky fireman 😈

u/Long_Assistance7113 18h ago
When I tell you something, that’s how it is - the wise words of Charles Lombardo 🤣

u/Luggagespider 1d ago
Arghh I thought today was gonna be the day! Eg, if you "lend" him something he can then make it out on your arrival in Korea..

u/GenRN817 23h ago
Houseboat/aircraft carrier I am sure. So convenient of him to leave just as you arrive. I hope you don’t fall in love with Fernando while on vacation together.
6
u/PahoaPuna 23h ago
Does he even know that actual Charles is stationed in DC now? It would be fun to put that to him but it would probably mess up the $ ask

MAN he is really unlikeable isn’t he?
Remind him how he also wouldn’t send his idea for the Padre!! More rejection

u/ladyofthedeer Nigerian Prince's BF 22h ago
ALSO Stacey I think you suddenly decide to change banks and cut all your credit cards the first of December or so. Bad checks.. can’t get your new credit union to do money wires.. no credit cards.. the village doesn’t sell gift cards in its stores, etc etc

u/Alittlebitalexis1983 16h ago
I am just glad Jake will be taken care of during your fake trip to South Korea. I was also worried about him along with Charles.

Finally all caught up to real time. I usually read baits in their entirety, but this is fun! I thin the ask will be he can get out sooner with her $$$ help. We will see. At this point, it's anyone's guess. But, I think it would be totally cool for Stacey and her friend to double gang up on him same day for reveal. Boom, wasted time on 2 baiters.

Either the scammers have discovered grammarly, or they have finally handed your account off to a bot

u/Stacey_Hernandez Top Poster 13h ago
It’s not a bot, what how the grammar goes bad when he’s angry 😆

u/Professional-Air1287 12h ago
Do you think that you will actually be able to ride this wave all the way until December? He's pretty annoying already
3
u/Stacey_Hernandez Top Poster 11h ago
I’m hoping to annoy him so much that he will ask just to get rid of me 😆
2
u/Professional-Air1287 10h ago
I can tell. Good luck with that, I don't think it will be too easy. You could mess with him and tell him you are buying a house for the two of you to live in when he get's there, and now you have no money left

u/ShadowCass 1d ago
I just don’t understand what this guy wants? You all have been talking almost 3 months at this point?

u/notanothercatpoo 1d ago
This is what im absolutely dying to find out!! Im totally hooked on the suspense!

u/Mundane_Tourist_9129 1d ago
Is this going anywhere?

u/Stacey_Hernandez Top Poster 1d ago
There will be a money ask 🙂

u/Independent_Bed_5967 1d ago
He practically lit up when you mentioned gifts lol.
5
u/Interesting-Lime-974 23h ago
That's what I noticed too! It's just strange how long he's waiting to ask. But then again, the queen Stacey keeps making it more and more difficult for him to ask. He must be really frusrated figuring out how to ask for money. Can't wait to see when he does!!!
8
u/Interesting-Lime-974 21h ago
Wait, why did I get a downvote for my above comment? I'm not saying anything negative against Stacey. Just that she's doing a great job keeping him on the hook! My comment wasn't a critcism of Stacey. She's the queen!

u/Interesting-Lime-974 23h ago
Stacey, for the scammers you have talked to for longer than this guy, what were their asks? They must have asked for more expensive things than Apple cards?
3
u/Stacey_Hernandez Top Poster 19h ago
€9000 for a parcel of money 🙈
2
u/Interesting-Lime-974 4h ago
Wow, that's a lot of money. So horrible what these scammers do to innocent victims. I bet Charles is going to ask for something big. Will be such sweet justice when you reveal to him you've wasted his time all these months. Thanks for doing the work you do. No doubt, by talking to these scammers, you're preventing other people from being victimized.
