Disclaimer note: I am a skeptic at heart. I tend to disbelieve anything and everything I hear that goes beyond the norm. This is not meant to be insulting to you. It's just what I've picked up, and to show you the reason for everyone else's skepticism.

The first and fourth statements kind of clash with each other. Note I say kind of. The first statement may have been a way to avoid coming out and saying you were with the FBI. Why you "admitted" being employed there later is strange.
The second statement...the government? Man, you gotta have more cash than I do floating around. ;D
The third statement is the kicker. Why did you need ponyboy's help at the time?
Now there are instances in the thread where you do SOUND like a government employee. They are aplenty. But then there are instances where you sound like a regular old person.
The speed at which things are being accomplished suggest you speak the truth.
Of course, no offense to leapinlew, but just because you are unaware of something doesn't make it non-existant. I think it's pretty common knowledge that the government has access to technologies and such that aren't available to the general public or even businesses. 8) This may be one instance.
Not taking up ninjaepisode on his offer doesn't speak well for you either.
I guess the one thing for me that stands out is the fact that if you are FBI, you weren't the least bit hesitant before dishing out what must've been a large sum of cash to a complete stranger in another country claiming to have extremely reduced prices on products. This may be a friendly community, but it's not perfect. :-\
I am on the fence on whether to believe you or not. Ultimately, I suppose my opinion really doesn't matter, since I'm not involved in this other than this post. So I won't say any more on the matter.
And heck, if others are skeptical, there's no reason to come out of the woodwork and calling him out on it. And yes, I'm aware of the irony of my post.
Gotta say harpal really went out on a limb. Even so much as to post a thread about being robbed to keep people off his back for just a little longer.
Good luck to all who've been screwed. :police:

I do nto really care if you believe me or not like i said I DO NOT need to prove myself. And if you are an IT guy as you say, then maybe you are not up to date on your stuff, I can tell you your name, ISP, phone # and address in a matter of minutes, just because YOU cannot do something does not mean we cannot either. As for my punctuation, sorry about that, i guess i cannot work for the FBI with poor grammar! I am not going to PM you at all! I am not looking for YOUR creditability at all!!! HOW DARE YOU! Maybe i should do a backround check on you! Damn i am done i do not care who got burned from this guy or anything i am not helping you all can do it yourselves, In fact HEY MODS put this thread in POST HELL as i am TRIED of the PERSONNEL ATTACKS ON ME AND MY CHARACTER!!! I was only trying to help, and now i am under the microscope! DON'T ASK I AM NOT HELPING, I will get my money back and deal with HARPAL my way!

kenmelk works for the FBI
Harpal had a warehouse full of Xbox 360's that were stolen
Stingray doesn't wear funny hats
Markrvp doesn't complain too much about his wife
MissionControl isn't ugly.
These are the facts, and this is how it is.

Ok, for the record, Yes i got VERY upset in the above posts, the reason being, I am VERY PROUD of working for this Country, and to have anyone question that is just plain insulting to me. I am not some 12 yearold kid, I am a 35 year old man, and i offered to help, i told everyone here that i do not like letting people know where i work for these EXACT reasons. Everyone thinks that because i work for the FBI, I should not get burned because i should do backround checks, or that we do not need help in some situations. I mean i am human i am not SUPERMAN (except to my kids). Yeah i work for the FBI, yeah i love old video games, even MAME which skirts the borders of leagality, i even SPEED on the highway! I wanted the post put in POST HELL because it is now a "QUESTION KENMELK" thread and not the HARPAL thread it started out as. I am still going to do what i feel is right in thie situation and do what i can, i am just not going todo it in the forums anymore. I asked for Ponyboy to give me HARPALS phone number for a few different reasons, I had 1 number HARPAL had given me and i spoke to with, i wanted to see if the numbers were the same, AT THAT TIME I did not know how many people were invloved here so i asked for help, like anyone would have. As for having extra cash while working for the government, like i said i work for the FBI because i LOVE it and LOVE THIS COUNTRY, believe me if i was working for the money, i would be working elsewhere. You all need to know that there are things the private sector does not have or know, this however does not mean it does not exist. Please excuse me for getting angry, like i said to question my motives, and my employment was just plain hurtful to me as i am VERY PROUD to do what i do for thei Country.
Thank you,
Ken
