THIS MAN HAS STOLEN OUR MONEY

1

Do not hire!!!!! We hired this man for an Atlantic crossing this year, he never showed up for the scheduled COVID test on Dec 2nd, and didn't contact us for days after his supposed arrival time. We agreed to meet him today, he showed up reeking of alcohol, and after agreeing he would go withdraw money from the bank to pay us back he vanished with our 50% deposit. Contact us with any questions, but DO NOT HIRE. We are contacting the police in the Canary Islands.
