This man scammed me out of thousands, by the name of Mario Zentilini. He came to CT from Rome to get away from all the people wanting loans from him, at crazy ex-wife and dishonest mother. Came to the U.S. to set up his soil scientist business and raise his 6 yo son here. So happy to have finally met the women of his dreams. Lol. Has very expensive testing equipment being sent to US. Traveled to Calif to get US soil scientist license. Was there in Calif 3 wks for exams and got his US soil scientist license. Left for a job in Benin. Sent his Equipment to Benin. Got to Benin had his accounts frozen because he never notified the bank he was leaving the country. Asked for some cash to start the job while he got his finances straightened out. I wire some cash. After a few weeks and no luck fixing his financial problems he needed $260k to start the project, hire works and get his equipment from the port in Benin. I refuse. He loses the job. Now wants money to get out of country. I send money by the time it get to him, he has incurred more fees while waiting for the money. With my help and the soil scientist who took over the job in Benin, he leaves and goes back to Italy to straighten out his finances. Gets to Italy and after 2 days there is arrested for tax evasion and put in Regina Coeli prison ( May 2014). I don't hear from him for a month then I am contacted by his mother with an email address for him in prison (June 2014). He apologizes and says he won't get out until Dec 2014. He eventually get phone privileges and calls me on his cell phone. The emails and a few phone calls continue until Seot 18, 2014. I received emails from the other soil scientist asking where Mario is because he owes him money. I tell the other scientist that I'm contacting the authorities and ALL communication stops. People involved: Mario Zentilini, vuyisanani Ngxzbani, Michael Adeyinka, Patrick Daniel
