I really don't want to cause friction between anyone. I have contacted a few like the NAS but my email says it is blocked, a foult? I have tried scope.org.uk but there live chat was supper busy.
My dad does not want me talking to anyone outside of this mess.
I had Jeffrey Cuthbert deal with me before and he a really good person.

Why would you get into trouble? Is this what your carers would say?
Don't mind the angry guy. Go and see one of the contacts you have been given before you show this to your carers.
Tell me if you have found anything else out about it all over the time you last posted in the thread.
NAS38972 said:I am not autistic I am a carer of a very severely autistic son, who does not have the benefit that you possess of being able to understand and comprehend a conversation.
The reason I suggested Advocacy is that he may not be able understand or comprehend a complex conversation.
NAS38972 said:Have you not understood all the helpful advice people have tried to assist you with.
Maybe he hasn't.
NAS38972 said:Others suspect its a wind up. That can mean that you are trying to wind up others with your tale of woe that may be completely from your imagination.
Who exactly? That's an implication that may be completely from your imagination.
NAS38972 said:Or they indicate somebody is trying to wind you up. and you cannot recognise it.
Hold on. You just said......
So if he cannot recognise it, he has difficulties being able to understand and comprehend a conversation.
NAS38972 said:I don't know about this behavior, It is certainly not autistic behavior. It is a form of Bullying of a vulnerable person by a sick person. Or a scam on a vulnerable person you.
What is not autistic behaviour? His behaviour? Why not?
Do you think his carers are autistic? This statement doesn't make sense.
NAS38972 said:I and others have given you information what to do and so far you have not really acted on it.
Maybe he is being controlled. Which you imply. Maybe he lacks the communication skills. Maybe he lacks agency, which is more concerning as he has carers, and he is being guided towards parting with money.
NAS38972 said:I have given you the benefit of the doubt that you are being scammed, you have related a plausible story.
Yes, you aren't the arbiter of truth here.
NAS38972 said:You are old enough i guess between 25 and 45 to be definitely an adult.
Yes, and as you yourself know adults between 25 and 45 can be autistic, and have communication difficulties. They can also have learning difficulties.
NAS38972 said:Why don't you give your permission to the Lady you in who's house you live in Caerphilly for her to telephone 999 on your behalf.
They were the ones suggesting that he use the solicitor. That wouldn't really be the best course of action.
NAS38972 said:Have you borrowed money to give away to an unknown person.
He said he hasn't borrowed money yet. He said the money was for the solicitor that the home put him in touch with.
NAS38972 said:The story teller made a mistake. its a scam.
Well if they are a scammer they wouldn't have made a mistake, stories are usually told to pull off a scam.
NAS38972 said:I believe any money you have borrowed or paid out is lost, and you still want to drag it out as your previous reply to a topic. perhaps to get people to respond to you.
Well that's a comforting statement. How do you know that he has paid, borrowed, or ultimately lost any money. If he has any concerns about being scammed, or how the process works, logically he will want people to respond to him. You assume a lot of things.
NAS38972 said:Why don't you seek the help as before of your local politician Jeffrey Cuthbert,
This is good advice.
NAS38972 said:Dial 999. It's now up to you you are an articulate adult.
How do you know this?
You make a lot of baseless assumptions. I'd say that it's best not to do this. We can't judge how this person functions.
You went from giving solutions to full on unexplainable rage.
I am not lying about what I said, I am genuinely worried. I know you have talked to police but I don't want to get in trouble. I'm so conflicted about this, I think I will show this to woman and sees what she says
Have you not understood all the helpful advice people have tried to assist you with.

The question You must ask yourself is have you have you parted with any money, whether borrowed or simply using a credit card You must dial 999. Only you, or somebody looking out for you, a carer or parent can report a crime. or attempted crime, or an ongoing crime.
Why don't you give your permission to the Lady you in who's house you live in Caerphilly for her to telephone 999 on your behalf. Have you borrowed money to give away to an unknown person. The story teller made a mistake. its a scam. I believe any money you have borrowed or paid out is lost, and you still want to drag it out as your previous reply to a topic. perhaps to get people to respond to you.
Why don't you seek the help as before of your local politician Jeffrey Cuthbert,
I have sent a copy of this topic to the Gwent police, if you want their help and have paid out money.
Dial 999. It's now up to you you are an articulate adult.
Thank you for getting to the point. I'm worried about this kid. This "Solicitor" can't tell him anything about his citizenship, even though he has had a Belgian passport.
No one is looking out for him. I'm mad as ***.
NAS38972 said:YOUR CARER can do this for you if you are unable to do so as a vulnerable person.
I'm not sure about that. This seems dubious. I spotted something strange in the next quote.
Lost0ne87 said:Solicitor also helps woman that owns the company that the support workers work for.
Hmmmm. This has so many implications.
Lost0ne87 said:And also to add it may not get accepted and have pay more money.
Why would this be made as a statement if they don't know his status. It's a strange caveat to make without any indication that this would be the case.
You have covered pretty much a lot of my concerns.
The people who should be helping are basically leaving him to it.
I could get more specific but I think you know who I mean. This has been bothering me the last few days. So *** mad!
Can I not do a background check on the lawer?
The email address of gwent police is contact@gwent.pnn.police.uk and not as above wrongly as ending in ok (wrong) whereas it should be uk (correct)
1, You must not send or give any money to anybody.and this means solicitors on the phone however urgent.
2, You must not give details of your credit Cards or Bank details over the phone or in person to anybody and this means solicitors however urgent.
2, You must not give any contact details to anybody such as your address and telephone number.
I BELIEVE YOU ARE BEING SCAMMED FOR MONEY AND YOUR BANK DETAILS.
I HAVE ALREADY SPOKEN TO GWENT POLICE ABOUT YOUR PROBLEM - I BELIEVE YOU ARE BEING SCAMMED OF ALL YOUR MONEY.
YOU MUST DIAL "101" STRAIGHT AWAY AND GIVE THEM YOUR CONTACT DETAILS.
or YOUR CARER can do this for you if you are unable to do so as a vulnerable person.
YOU CAN CONTACT THEM BY EMAIL AT contact@gwent.pnn.police.ok
Their website is www.gwent.police.uk
YOU WILL NOT BE DEPORTED IF WHAT YOU SAY IS TRUE.
until you have advice Free advice from either the CAB or as Cloudy Mountains advised as enclosed THEN APPLY TO BECOME A BRITISH CITIZEN.
"You have just been told your solicitor, about who you know nothing about, but wants £2500, Works for the Government as an immigration Lawyer" That cannot be tru
1, Any solicitor who works UNDER YOUR INSTRUCTIONS will WANT YOU TO SIGN A CONTRACT of HIS TERMS. ie you know who he is, and where he is based. You should have been advised to use the services of a local solicitor... You can always then check about the solicitor and what he specialises in.
I just been told something interesting he is a imgration lawyer that works for the government.
Do try the helplines and places Cloudy Mountains has recommended here. See if NAS can help too with the advocacy side of things
You are still a Belgian citizen despite not having a passport; you can't be rendered stateless in international law.
I don't have citizenship of any kind, British nor Belguim. I had a word with my mum and all that deal with me.
nexus9 said:The free legal service for people with disabilities seems to be the key. Someone who can offer advocacy during stressful interviews for example.
I think that having someone to explain it and be able to realy the information who is experienced would be the best way forward too. Handing £2500 over to someone who can't explain this all seems very dubious.
Some people think that being able to explain complicated things in a verbose way is intelligence. I think the opposite is true. If you can explain something in clear and simple terms that everyone can understand it, for me that is a far more useful skill. You can make making a cup of tea sound like Uncertainty Principle, but that is idiocy. Advocacy is a very admirable skill. If people were less interested in sounding like geniuses, and more interested in communicating, there would be far less problems in the world. I think LostOne87 has bumped into a few people who fall into the latter.
nexus9 said:And what about NAS itself? Could they refer someone who could help with advocacy in a situation like this?
Maybe LostOne87 should call them. Good suggestion.
nexus9 said:Whilst CAB are limited, they are at least free. You need to keep your money until you get advised by a trustworthy source that you may need to purchase certain documents
I used to have to deal with CAB when I worked in drug rehabilitation. They really are stretched, and they struggle to allocate time and resources. I'd refer people, and it was so hit and miss. For the past 20 years the CAB has been being systematically forced into a state of redudancy. Fucking shameful. I agree totally about the money issue, and the advice on what needs to be paid and when. People need resources like that, so that they have more control over decisions they make. Leaves less room for the sharks.

That's Caerphilly's only CAB. If you are reading LostOne87.
I've scoured the internet for stuff in Caerphilly. Doesn't seem there's much in the way of advocacy. It's all the usual stuff in the way of Autism Support. All for young people and kids. That's fine, but there are some adults that need help too!
I also went on the site. Didn't post a question but some of the regular posters (those replying) seemed to be people who have never have had problems managing their money and are rude and patronising to those that do. They really need to find something better to do than going on a forum to make people feel even worse regarding their money worries.
Whilst CAB are limited, they are at least free. You need to keep your money until you get advised by a trustworthy source that you may need to purchase certain documents

The free legal service for people with disabilities seems to be the key. Someone who can offer advocacy during stressful interviews for example.
Lost0ne87 said:Yes I asked about a british citizen which I don't have.
You do have some form of legal status. Looking at the things you do have it's a certainty.
Lost0ne87 said:I was the one that I was thinking getting a loan, no one else. If I were to pay this guy I will have nothing left in the bank
Don't get a loan until you know you need it for sure. Don't get a solicitor either until you know you need one for sure. This could be way simpler than you think. I think you are panicking and jumping the gun. No use getting yourself into debt, or paying money that you may not need to.
Lost0ne87 said:But I can get his number, my dad does talk to over on email. Know my dad does not really like me talking online about and it's hard to ask questions about it. The stress is getting him.
He may not like it, but he will have to help you. Explain that you don't understand the situation, and it's very stressful for you too. Find out what your legal status is here. Write it down, then come back if you need to ask any questions about it. I'll try my best to explain it to you.
Try not to panic. From what I can tell, you aren't in danger of any hassle for the forseeable future.
No problem at all, I'm glad I can try to help.
I will ask again about it
