		<description>This is a cut and paste of an e-mail exchange I had with Mr Obi that glaringly highlights his fraudulence given that I was truly seeking a legitimate discourse originally. Read it from the very bottom up as it goes sequentially that way.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&quot;Dear Matt Storey, &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Thank you very much for your recent email. &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Please kindly do not contact us again ; as you do not seem to understand precisely what RCAM is about. &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Best Wishes, &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Joseph &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;On 01/27/09 9:18 AM, Matt Storey wrote: &lt;br/&gt;-------------------- &lt;br/&gt;That is unfortunate that you feel that way as I would truly have an ability to swell the ranks of such an organization were it legitimate as I work with a very large network of complementary and alternative medicine practitioners.

You have four members yet you would expect someone to pay between 1,000 to 10,000 euros just to get access to network with four people! Given the question of the integrity of the organization that you see in online threads it doesn&#039;t bode well to counter their attacks. If it requires a payment to join the organization, fine but a payment just to join a linkediN network---no thanks. &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;On 01/22/09 3:20 AM, Professor Joseph Obi wrote: &lt;br/&gt;-------------------- &lt;br/&gt;Dear Matt, &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Thank You for your recent message. &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;The reason why you cannot join the LinkedIn Group is because you are not a Member of the RCAM Professional Empowerment Programme yet. &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;You are also not a Fellow of RCAM at this particular moment in time. &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Our weblinks are specifically designed in such a manner as to ethically ensure that only those with a genuine interest in RCAM actually get to communicate with us. &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;This is because we receive well over 1000 emails per week from those who are simply just hunting for free advice ; and we cannot duly cope with such exceedingly risky demands. &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;So please kindly visit http://www.ClinicalSchool.org for further details about joining RCAM ; from where you can expediently send us your Official RCAM Application using the online communication form. &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;You recently missed the Christmas 2008 Fee Reduction which expired on the 31st of December 2008 ; so you will sadly now have to pay the Full Fee. &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;As you are seriously involved in the Corporate Aspect of Alternative Medicine ; I strongly suggest that you apply to become a Corporate Fellow of RCAM , via the Ad Eundem Route , for a one-off Fee of €9999 ( Nine Thousand ,Nine Hundred and Ninety Nine Euros).

		<description>This guy seriously tried to pass off Thomas House, 47 Botanic &lt;b&gt;Gardens&lt;/b&gt;, Belfast as a residential address? &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Botanic Gardens is a (very pretty) public park, and the only entities with legitimate addresses there are the groundskeepers&#039; depot, a bowling club, the Queens University PE centre and the  former building of the Ulster Museum. Mind you, given how insane this character appears to be, I could well believe that he actually does sleep there. Under a shrub, perhaps, clutching a bottle of homeopathic meths.</description>
