Default Has Anyone Heard of him?

Has anyone heard of a guy named Sal Ramos.. also known as the Freakin Rican... or Worlds Fastest Puerto Rican??

He claims he bought MC Hammers old house.. and a bunch of ridiculous other things.. Anyway, he made a business proposition and just wondering if he is who he claims to be..


Long story but if you have any info, it would be appreciated..

Basically, I did a photoshoot with him, as well as a television interview.. He shows up in a limited edition lambo, and when I check out the other cars, all of them have his name on it.. Freakin Rican..

So after all this **** is over with. (like 7 hours later) We swap info.. and says he will email me the results.. I waited like 3 hours and I get an e mail saying that all of his sponsers love me, and want me to do more.. So I meet with him (I took my boyfriend with me) and started talking about what the next steps are.

Keep in mind he knows my life dream is to race pro mods.

He ended up saying he could teach me and train me and give me my own car, as long as I race under his name. He also said that I would be his new tv show co-host.. Only problem is he wanted money to start me off.. He knows my dad is huge (big oil company) and wanted my dad to sponsor him.. I know that anyone who asks for money upfront is full of ****.. but he has done some crazy *** **** thats confusing me. I was just hoping for some insight..

I googled the three names that are listed and nothing seemed to come up that leads to anything dealing with racing and/or photoshoots. Hell I googled my own name and found more information. If I was in your place I would turn this deal down. I mean come om what sponsor wants money from the sponsoree to sponsor that same someone. At least last time I checked it was the other way around.

He found me.. Should have known.. Well he was referred by someone..

Yeah I figured he was just all talk.. I have a bunch of sh*t on him. Like his whole portfolio.. where he claims a bunch of stuff was started by him.. Its kinda funny actually.. I thought about running the other way, but when I told him Im not paying for ****.. he kept calling and telling me that everyone wants me.. and he put me all over his web sites.. supposadly.. i just saw the video.. but I know what he wants.. and its probably my dads money... but thats just cold blooded to toy with someones dreams..

but there is more to the story..

Sorry to hear this, but in all honestly if your ambition and talents are what they seem you will have better opportunities waiting for you in the years to come. Moreover, if you know Reese and have met Powelly you're cool with me.

Yeah he told me that we could invent the internet together, but only if I paid him, only then would he stop calling himself Al Gore.
