Took me less than a couple of minutes to do this for you and your friend:
Gibson Europe BV Kamerling Onnesweg 2/ 4131 PK Vianen The Netherlands Phone: 31.347.324010 www.gibsoneurope.com Gibson Corporate 309 Plus Park Blvd. Nashville, TN 37217 800.444.2766 615.871.4500 615.889.5509 FAX www.gibson.com Have your friend call Gibson's Corporate offices and verify who this "employee" is. I doubt they will provide this information to you, but more importantly you can inform them of this scam. Honestly, if she works for Gibson and is relocating to the states- the company will pay for her flight.

It's not that she can't afford it, it is some other issue. I doubt I'll ever know what it is.

We're flying to Europe next week.
It's remarkably easy to do. You give people money, they give you a plane ticket. |

If you guys don't do something about this, these asshats will continue to post these bogus scams and eventually find someone gullible enough to pay them. You mentioned when you started probing her with questions that she got all hostile. Red Flag! Of course, she's going to get hostile when you're asking her questions.

That was another thought that crossed my mind. However the ticket will still have the gal's name on it, so I don't see how having someone else purchase it would work.

She did take the check to the bank to have it verified as legit before depositing it. Haven't heard the out come of that. And it was my friend who was getting "hostile" not the other person. She has had a rough go of it lately and snapped at me, "can't something go right for me?" Told her I was trying to look out for her and walked away. It's a complicated relationship to begin with.

Ask the chick in England to send hot nekkid pics. It won't help the situation at all, but hey, you'll have the hot nekkid pics.
