Um, if you're a U.S. citizen or permanent resident there's this thing called the U.S. embassy.

richardsonsnm Jun 5th, 2007 09:32 PM

Where can I send the check?

fishee Jun 5th, 2007 09:35 PM

Maybe you should open an account where we can all just wire you money -- it'll be additional expense for us but it's the fastest way for you to access the funds.

?? contact nearest embassy.
make police report.
cancel credit cards.

go to airlines to get new ticket once you have money problem solved to get back.

get new passport issued or temp. document to continue out of country.

good luck.

Thank you for the last reply. The rest of you, I hope God does not see the way you treat someone in bad situation.

I guess there is a lot of bull on the internet...but if you cant help a person..dont kick them when down. Bad very bad Karma.

Hi R,

>Have no contacts back in usa.

Where do you have contacts?

((I))

Rhondel, God has nothing to do with this.

"I hope God does not see the way you treat someone in bad situation."

Apparently he wasn't looking out for you either.

Rhondel Jun 13th, 2007 08:58 AM

The Embassy gave me a Repatriate Loan. Its there for this exact situation. If anyone wanted to give smart advice than that would have been it. Giving those comments that were left recently is just evil, ignorant, and a waste of your time, my time and the universe.

Are all of us feeling better now?

fishee Jun 13th, 2007 06:23 PM

Yeah, go back and re-read the messages that told you to go to the U.S. embassy. What up?

I think I learned that tidbit by watching The Bourne Supremacy.

And you're welcome.
