I have just been reading about this same scam on another site. One of the contributors said the person calling gave his name as Sam Pattel. In 2007 my company was physically robbed of the equivalent of $160,000 by an person called Samuel Pattel in Milan, Italy and his accomplices Marco De Santos (possibly ddosantos or santes) and Joseph Pattel. According to one of the business networks he was supposed to have moved to Sarasota, FL in late 2007, early 2008. This man is a con man and thief. Thanks to the Internet, we were able to disrupt his activities in Italy and stop him from robbing a couple of their house that they were selling and the money they would have got for it and stopped him robbing another company of a similar amount. He speaks English with a high pitched accent and has a favourite phrase "You know what I mean." If it is the same guy, somebody get the B*stard.
If that is Samuel Pattel from Milan, Italy or Rome then he is a Con man and Thief. Have nothing to do with him.
PS. What sort of massage do they give? Typical bad spelling just like most of the con artists.
