'Birth certificate' seller vanishes into thin air
World Net Daily ^ | July 20, 2009 | Drew Zahn

CEDAR RAPIDS, Iowa – The eBay seller who first offered – and then promised to reveal to WND – an alleged Barack Obama birth certificate from Mombasa, Kenya, has dropped communications with a team of people offering to help him verify the document, only fueling belief the sale was a scam.

As WND reported, an eBay seller known originally as "colmado_naranja" claimed to have an authentic document from Coast Provincial Hospital in Mombasa proving Obama's birth there at 7:24 p.m. on Aug. 4, 1961.

Looks like those of us who said this looked like a scam made in Nigeria were right.

Did the scammer actually find a buyer?

Seems like I remember people disappearing during the Clinton era as well.

He’s taking full advantage of the Jimmy Hoffa retirement plan.

"Freepers exposed him almost immediately as a petty fraud."

I wish I could say I believed that.
Unfortunately what I observed were a lot of FReepers convinced that Ebay was conspiring to keep THE TRUTH from getting into the hands of somebody who could show that Obama wasn't born in the U.S. Granted there were also those on FR who saw the BS from the start but there were more than a few suckers keeping the story alive.

A few perhaps. You don’t have to take my word though.

Has anyone checked Ft. Marcy Park?

They never change their dumping grounds.

You can bet on it!!! World Nut Daily was probably the high bidder.

You said — A few perhaps. You don’t have to take my word though.

Yeah, a *few* all right... LOL...

I was one of those who said this sounded like a scammer and that things were not right. And finally, after a while, it was finally identified as such.

The *really funny thing* was that even after some people identified him/her (can’t remember which one it was...) as “certifiable” — there was a poster or two who said that it probably took someone who was *insane* to be able to get Obama’s birth certificate... LOL...

And “Artemis Webb”, you’re right, there were a *lot of FReeper* posters on those threads *hammering* on anyone who “questioned” whether this was a scammer and a fraud, according to the circumstances that were seen... :-)

WorldNetDaily is the one news source and outlet that has kept up on the Obama birth certificate issue. It’s an issue that is relevant, as long as people do rational things to address the issue.

One of those rational things to do, that I’m talking about, is to get the various state legislatures to pass a law require specific documentation in order for a candidate to be on the ballot. Oklahoma, Arizona and Missouri was doing that. I know that Oklahoma’s bill didn’t pass this session, but we can try again. I don’t know about the other states, though.

WorldNetDaily also has been putting up billboards around the country saying “Where the Birth Certificate?”...

I think that WorldNetDaily is probably the *only* news outlet that will post articles about the birth certificate issue. You can’t find it elsewhere.

But, I’m also in favor of doing things about that, in the real world, that actually *work* — which is why I support the legislative approach.

For anyone else, read the full article — as it’s very informative as to what happened.

In related news, man was found dead in his hut in Kenya today. It was ruled a suicide even though the forensic evidence conclusively proves the bullet entered in his back...... three times.......

You asked — Did he ever sell or get money for his the BC?

Take a look at the article. It makes it clear that a lawyer and an “agent” who was trying to help the guy with the “document” that he said he had — withdrew from working with him, because he would not verify what he had and he would not cooperate. He was *still scamming* even with some people trying to “help him”...

That was exactly like ole “Chief Editor Korir” and the Michelle Obama phone tape that said Obama was born in Kenya, part of the API (African Press International) scam... LOL...

He had it coming,
He had it coming,
He only had himself to blame,
If you’d have been there,
If you’d have heard it,
I betcha you would
Have said he is insane!
