There is no fiction here. There is overwhelming evidence of a scam. How could any person who calls himself or herself a poet intentionally take advantage of another.
We are here to share poetry and stories and support each other, not make money off each other.
Shame on you, Tony. Own up. Refund the money and please take your presence somewhere else.
Divya trusted you. When folks try to pull these scams, it not only breaks trust, it makes it hard to trust in future, even when the the other person is sincere.
I support Divya 100% in this situation. Tony opened up the wound by posting in public what should have been a private matter, and it appears that was just to cover his own indiscretion.
What Divya has posted is proof that he received her money...there can be no denying what occured.
I am sorry to see this black mark on the cafe...But it is a Good Site, with so many good people, and excellent writers, who are here for the right reasons.
