How is this for an insult

 Issues of Trust

Sister Act

The Ongoing Scam

The sister of Pamela Olsted, the lady who scammed me, has just insulted me by saying she "trusts me," she TRUSTS me?

I put her in her place, I replied, "I should be the one with trust issues."

I have been honest from the start, which is more than I can say for her. Her comment came after I said "I can't guarantee I can get out tomorrow, it depends on my bad ankle," the sore ankle is the result of going out to buy her Apple gift cards, so she can send me my loan refund, something I doubt will happen

What are my goals?

 A fresh start

Glad all over

The True Path of Romance

My immediate concern is to rid myself of the lipoma on my neck, this is causing me constant pain.

The next step, literally, is to get my right ankle fit to carry some weight so I can walk with less pain that I did this month.

After this, I can concentrate on clearing my overdraft, the cause of which is a scam I was involved in with Pamela Olsted, and a lady "claiming" to be her sister. This will take several months, I was promised a loan refund, but I think that is part of the plot to keep me paying them, that comes to an end this week.

Once the operation on my neck is over, and I can walk easier, I shall arrange a meeting with my friend, Svitlana, in Didcot, hopefully in time for my birthday next month.

My aim for the blog

 Sisters of Evil 

I have moved on

Getting a refund

My aim is to rid the blog statistics of any mention to Pamela Olsted, and the lady "claiming" to be her sister. Will I be able to do it? I doubt it very much, at the moment, the target is a quarterly deduction, which is plausable.

The best way forward is for me not to put any more links on here to relevant posts after next month

Sisters of Evil

A lot of Claims

The difference 

Pamela Olsted

The Ongoing Scam 

If you get approached by either of these, do NOT engage them in a chat, report them, and block them, they are SCAMMERS.

Pamela "claimed" to live in Bristol, she claimed to want to meet me, and form a lasting relationship. She claimed her other sister had died from Covid, knowing my wife had. She kept saying she was going to pay me back, all those are lies.

The young "lady" claims to be her sister, and was willing to repay Pamela's debt to me. She said she only needed £20 to send the money, as the guide showed 90% complete, a few days later, it said 65%, and she asked for another £20, the reason I sent the money is I can't afford to let £3,000 slide, but the time has come for me to accept what I had thought this month, it is no moe than another scam

Just my luck

 Meeting in Didcot

My lady friend in Oxfordshire

Svitlana

It wouldn't suprise me if the release of the stress I have been under for the most of the last year causes a mental breakdown. The only good thing about the last 10 months, is being able to chat online with my friend, Svitlana, in Didcot, Oxfordshire. Without the help of Svitlana, I am certain, I would have hit a deep depression, so deep I doubt I would have recovered.

Now things are beginning to look a little brighter 🤞. I am hoping our chats can become more than only a quick hello

All in the Family

 I have moved on

My lady friend in Oxfordshire

Svitlana

To show how evil Pamela Olsted is, she "claimed" her sister died of Covid, knowing my wife died from the illness only a year before. She could be telling the truth, but as she had been telling me lies for months, I take it with a large dose of salt, in hindsight. She also "claimed" her daughter Ellah was ill, to gain sympathy. At the time, I had serious doubts about that, she said Ellah was 8, while it is not impossible for a lady in her late 40's to have a child, it is highly unlikely, as there are a lot of medical risks involved. The latest development is a lady "claiming" to be Pamela's younger sister told me she is in hospital in Bristol, again, I take that with a dose of salt. Knowing I live in Bristol, it is easy to find a hospital here.

I am very pleased I met Svitlana (above), on the site SoulmateMeets, we have moved to Charming Talks for our online chat now. Our chats are very different to those I thought I had with Pamela.

The Final nail in the coffin

 Getting over Pamela Olsted

The wait is off

There are times when I question my sanity

For weeks, if not months, I had suspected scammer Pamela Olsted of lying about her Apple gift card. For every three I sent, she "claimed" one was faulty, that is well above accepted levels, howver, a week before I ended our business arrangement, she closed the case. Desperate for money, she sent a photo of a "supposed" fault report on a card. However, she made several MAJOR errors.

She over-estimated my patience, which had ran out the week before.

First, it was hand written, not mass printed.

It was written in Spanish

 Mental Health Concerns

Pamela Olsted

A strange dynamic

I'd be telling lies if I said the last year has been less than horrorific for me, though the the last two months of knowing Svitlana took some of the nastiness away.

In November of 2026, I was approached by a person calling themselves Clara Kent, who "claimed" to live in Bristol.Her name is Pamela Olsted.From the outset, our online chat appeared strained, she would agree with what i was saying, but never continue the conversation. Not long after we began, I had the impression she wasn't in the UK, but I kept the link, hoping she'd prove me wrong, which she didn't. She lives in Pennsylvania in the USA.

Two months ago, I cut ties with her, a few weeks later her sister contacted me to say Pamela was in hospital, and hadn't eaten for weeks. The sister, then said she would pay off the debt Pamela owed me. From the outset, I considered this another scam. After all, her sister had lied to me for months, why would I believe her?

Two months of stress later, I am still waiting for my refund, and I doubt it will come

The wait is off

 The weight is off

The Ongoing Scam

If there is a plus to the ongoing scam, it is the exercise has resulted in me losing weight.

I never expected the sister of the scammer, Pamela Olsted, to keep her promise to refund the loan I sent her sister. Yesterday, returning from Asda, Whitchurch, Bristol, I decided if she asked for another £20 to send the loan, I would tell her to forget it. With help from my family, I am managing to recover from my losses, the money I won't be sending will help me get out of my overdraft

I have no doubts over Svitlana

 Meeting Svitlana

In discussion with Svitlana

Svitlana's dedication

My friend Svitlana has made her situation clear to me, despite my limited cash, she is adamant that I am the man she wants in her life. Our friendship is strained as I am trying to get some money I have been owed for almost a year, this means we can chat for only an hour each night for now

The Physical toll

 Walking back to Happiness

Asda

Walking back to Happiness

The physical toll of the ongoing scam is shown above.

I have two choices, walk to Asda, in Whitchurch, or catch the bus to Bedminster.

If I go to Whitchurch, as the bus is an hourly service, I usually walk both ways, the issue here is being disabled this walk takes a heavy toll on my injured left achilles tendon. Also, I have a broken toe on my right foot, which gets painful if I walk too much.

At the moment, I can't afford the bus fare to Bedminster, so another day passes with no sign of the refund

How did it start?

 Meeting Svitlana

Online Chat rooms

Alan Place

A year ago a comment I put on Twitter stired up some interest in me among ladies. I said, "If I was to look for another relationship, I wouldn't consider doing it, until April."

A history teacher from the USA, who lives in Gloucester asked "Why wait so long, when the lady you may want is here now?" I explained that from October to April, I had several family related matters to handle. She made it clear, she wished me to be the man in her life. We had a short time chatting online, our link on Signal was so bad it would take a day for me to get a reply to a message. She didn't believe me when I told her, and accused me of cheating on her.

Next came another lady from the USA, she lives near me in Thornbury. Again, she made her intentions clear, she wished for me to be her lover, I never felt anything for this lady.

After that, I can only describe the next eight months as HELL, looking back. I got involved with a lady I thought at first, lived in Bristol, it was soon clear to me she did not. It tuned out she lives in Pennsylvania, is a scammer, and has served jail time for identity theft. I hope to have a refund of the loan I sent her over the eight months I had contact with her, later today. I emphasise "HOPE."

Finally, afer ending my contact with the scammer, I added my profile to a dating app, to see if ladies do find me attractive, and formed a link with my new friend, Svitlana, who is from Ukraine, but lives in Didcot, Oxfordshire.

Svitlana

The Ongoing scam

 Sister Act

I was a palooka

Pamela Olsted

If you get approached by this creature, block and report her. She is Pamela Olsted, a scammer charged with identity theft in the USA.

Her sister had promised to refund some money I sent, when I thought I was helping a lady who wished to meet me. Learning of Pamela's police record, I was wary it was another scam, but the idea of sending £20 to get my £3,000 returned was at the back of my mind. 

Over July and August, her sister kept telling me she needed £20 to send for the bank to send the money. I got wary when I saw one week the re-payment was around 90% sent, and the next it wa back to 60%. 

Despite what her sister keeps saying, I am certain I won't see any of my money, this period has lead to me suffering depression, not only from the mental strain, but I lost the respect of my children

A Suprise ending to 2026

 Meeting in Didcot

Action Stations !!!

Meeting Svitlana

Today will begin the end of my time in hell. In November, 2025, I was contacted on Twitter, and later via WhatsApp by a lady calling herself Clara Kent, she turned out to be scammer Pamela Olsted.

By various means, she convinced me she cared for me, when all she wanted was my money. I was for a short period, under the impression she lived near me in Bristol. I stayed in contact, to give her the opportunity to prove she lived here, but it was soon clear she didn't.

By July, 2026, I had put her out of my mind, and resigned myself to losing the money I sent her, despite her saying she would refund me at some time. In September, 2026, her sister said she would repay the money owed to me, today, I am hoping this will happen.

I can finally put Pamela, and her family, out of my mind, and concentrate on meeting my friend   Svitlana in Didcot, Oxfordshire. Svitlana and I made contact on SoulmateMeets, and have continued our friendship on Charming Talks, we got on well from our first chat.

On a more personal note, today I will be going into hospital to have a lump removed from my neck.

I am now housebound

 Getting over Pamela Olsted

Trauma

Sister Act

Recovering from knowing the scammer,Pamela Olsted, mentally was easy as we never met. Getting over the damage she did to my finances is something that will take several months. It will take me longer to recover from the physical trauma that she and her sister did to me. 

I was so tired of walking 2 miles each way every week, in all weathers, fro November to September, I fell in the street, and was taken into hospital with head, wrist, and leg injuries.

2026 was a bust

 The Year of Hell

Cash Shortage

Pamela Olsted

As the final quarter of 2026 approaches, I can say this year has been another year of hell for me. I suffered a cash shortage caused by knowing a scammer called Pamela Olsted, who "claimed" to live not far from me in Bristol. We began an online chat in November 2025, and I ended it in June 2026, I think she hoped for it to end in August, as her birthday is in July.

The only good thing that came out of knowing her is I found ladies do find me attractive, as I added my profile to two dating apps.

Glad all over

 A steady relationship

Granny Friend

I am pleased to say that soon I can put the 8 months I chatted to the SCAMMER Pamela Olsted behind me. In the next week, her sister is planning to clear the debt of £3,000 I am owed.

This money will only ease my standard of living, but it will ease the strain on my mental health.

I didn't take long to get over her because we never had a serious connection, I knew she was lying back in February, when she gave me two addresses in Bristol, within one chat. They are close, by car, but two addresses was suspicious. I kept chatting to see if she would prove me wrong, but she never did.

I am pleased to say, I formed a true friendship with the lady on this post, Svitlana lives in Didcot, Oxfordshire, and we get on well during our online chat sessions.

Unlike Pamela, Svitlana chats, I always had the feeling Pamela was going along with what I said, rather than putting ideas forward to move the chat,

I have no doubts now

 Sister Act 2

British Gas

British Gas Dilemma

If I had any doubts that Pamela Olsted isn't in the UK, I don't now. A few minutes ago her "sister" texted to say she had never heard of British Gas, and didn't trust them, that is ironic from someone whose sister has a criminal record for identity theft, and scammed me.

She done him wrong

 Mae West

The lady's choice

                                                            Cary Grant

This comedy with Mae West, is the debut for Cary Grant. She asked for min to apear. At the time he was a bit-player, struggling to get a break, after this role, as they say "the rest is history."

The title also refers to how I was treated by a scammer, who "claimed" to live in walking distance from me, in Bristol. Once her sister pays me back, the connection with Pamela Olsted will be over, I have moved on, and found a lady in Oxfordshire who DOES wish to meet me.
