Every November I buy a handful of tickets to the Arroyo Arts Discovery Tour, and give them away. For the last couple years, I've sent some of tickets to the staff of the blog, Curbed LA.
It seems one of those tickets found its way into the hands of Catherine Moye, a journalist with the Financial Times of London, who then wrote an article about Highland Park, the Arroyo Arts Collective, and the Arroyo Culture lifestyle.
Some of Bob's comments didn't quite survive the translation from American English to Brit English intact, and Los Feliz became "Los Felos" but all in all, it's a great article. Thank you, Ms. Moye!
Dear Catherine,
My name is Hadi Ahmadzadeh, and I live in Spain.
i'm writing to you about an article you wrote last year on Ian Wylie, the owner of Yomel inmobiliaria, in the rural region of Valencia.
To bring you a update on his reputation, this man has AGAIN, made a number of victims on his way to riches.
A retired couple whom he relieved a large sum of money and a Jamaican man in Pedralba, who had given Ian a Large sum to complete building works but
never did.
I did some research of my own and came to find out that this man is wanted in the UK since 2002, for frzude anf forgery.
If you do a google search, type in crimestoppers uk Ian Wylie, you will see his "wanted" profile.
Me and a few associates have notified the head of Police and Guardia Civil of valencia, to start an investigation on him and his associates.
I would like to ask you if you have ANY information that could lead to this man's arrest, i.e. home address, bussines registration number, etc...
to please share it with us.
I'm sure that, as you know, many people have been duped including myself, and that we would express great gratitude, if the information you provide help in ccapturing this man
who has made his bussines to steal from the retired, who have worked all their lives to retire in spain, only to be conned out of their hard earned cash, by this poor excuse
of a man!!!!!
please let me know as soon as possible,what your thoughts are.
Onbehalf of all the duped,I thank you for your time and effort!!!
kind regards,
Hadi Ahmadzadeh
