talking to the masses who adored her. She had that kind of energy. She was brash and bold and charismatic and funny and irreverent. She told dirty jokes and everybody loved her.”
The story is so outlandish and bizarre that Johnathan never questions it. “Why would someone make that up? I, never, not even for a second, suspect that it’s a scam.”The story continues. Mair tells Johnathan that she works at a luxury travel agency in LA called Pacific Island. She’s the number one seller there. The company is owned by her cousin’s best friend – who actually helped to get her the job back when they were on good terms. Mair doesn’tto work though, she makes that very clear.
“Fast forward, literally a couple of weeks later and I get a call from jail. She’s been arrested, and she’s crying on the phone, telling me I was right. Her family set her up to make it look like she stole $200,000.”She planted the seed and Johnathan took the bait, so again, he believed everything she told him. “I walked right into it. She used my good nature against me. We’re almost a year and a half into our friendship at this point. I love her like a sister.
“You’d think I was worried, but I wasn’t at all because I believed she was going to get her inheritance, and she was showing me emails and text messages from her barristers saying that the case is going to be resolved, everything’s looking good, she’s happy.”“Then one day, she tells me, all she needs is $50,000 for legal fees and court costs to make the case go away and get her inheritance. Now, you know, people are like, ‘How can you be so stupid?’.
Still expecting to be paid back at this point, Johnathan said he walked away in a huff telling Mair “pay me back or I’m going to the police.” “It occurred to me days later that she’s not going to pay me back. She wasn’t even sorry! So, I went to the police and they turned me away. They said, ‘This is not a crime. You gave her the money’. Which I did, but, you know, I’m grateful they turned me away at first because that prompted me to launch my own investigation.
“He was in his late 70s and he’s sick so he’s not going to live much longer. She pretended to have the same mental illness he did. He used to be in the Navy, he fought in a couple of wars, and he’s on disability. So he’s, he’s making like $5,000 a month in retirement and social security and veterans disability, because he served in the military.” Essentially, he was just a walking dollar sign to Mair.
