JohnF13 Posted November 13, 2015 Share Posted November 13, 2015 So this has been niggling at my mind for some time. Is Ambreen real, or is she a computer algorithm? The way people/comments are treated (banned/removed) seem to indicate the latter. Similarly, the language cadence used by Ambreen suggests computer generated speech. Maybe it is just me, but I am getting very suspicious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnF13 Posted November 13, 2015 Author Share Posted November 13, 2015 Lynnie, but that's what you would expect of an algorithm... a canned response that really says nothing. I'm getting out the tinfoil hat...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris McCall Posted November 13, 2015 Share Posted November 13, 2015 Bonnie, you have discovered who she is, the text of the letter and he text on your link are surely written by the same person. And English is not her first language that is why it sounds strange. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris McCall Posted November 13, 2015 Share Posted November 13, 2015 Ambreen is Indian from Mumbai, India. That is why she sounds different. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If that is so now I can see why you have noticed she doesn't have knowledge of the Boquete Area and why she has more errors in English language than me (I guess I am improving my English) LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twin Wolf Technology Group Posted November 13, 2015 Share Posted November 13, 2015 (edited) Hmmm... I disagree. I believe this is Ambreen: Facebook only comes up with one person with her name: https://www.facebook.com/ambreen.ghazi.10 She lives in Pakistan and belongs to more than 12 religious christian groups. Doing a Google search for JLM and Pakistan, the top hit is a website for Jesus Love Ministries based in Pakistan. There is a 10 hour difference from Pakistan to Panama. I do not recall Ambreen being online during our normal hours. She is there early and late possibly indicating she lives on the other side of the world. Lastly add to all of those things that there is a NEW advertiser on Ning under sponsors - The Stephen Ministers fitting in with the religious group idea. So, that is my guess Edited November 13, 2015 by Twin Wolf Technology Group 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pantah Posted November 13, 2015 Share Posted November 13, 2015 The plot thickens. Early on I realized Ambreen was a Pakistani name. I am now beginning to understand their lack of transparency. If you are right, this is subterfuge of the most scurrilous kind. With Lee and Don Ray there was never any mystery about who they were and their pasts. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaime Daniel Posted November 13, 2015 Share Posted November 13, 2015 Ambreen is a real person. Her responses are computer-like because she learnt her English from Google Translate. Bob Hunter has already assured us early on that ning was not associated with religious JLM foundations. If you can't trust Bob, who can you trust?

Jaime Daniel Posted November 13, 2015 Share Posted November 13, 2015 One other clue as to how b.ning acquired the services of Ambreen. http://creators.ning.com/members/JLMFoundation She may have just been an off-the-rack choice to install the upgraded features to ning that Lee didn't purchase.

So, that is my guess The Pakistanti Ambreen is a nurse; the Indian Ambreen provides website service. There is also a 10 hour or so time difference between India and Panama. The Stephen Ministers is a local group, headed by Steve Mainero and San Juan Bautista Catholic Church, that provides services to gringos such as transportation, translation, visiting, delivery of food, etc. It's notice was on the site before Lee left. I know Steve and can comfortably say that he is not involved in JLM Foundaton, whoever they may be. As I pointed out early in all of this, there is a JLM (Jesus Loves Me) Foundation already operating in Panama. But any connection with that group was denied. The coincidence remains strong, however. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brundageba Posted November 13, 2015 Share Posted November 13, 2015 (edited) What puzzles me is why the new owner of the site who outsourced his monitoring service for Ning to Ambreen and Z Datamatics didn't see early how his investment was being dismantled and do something about it. It makes no sense to me. Edited November 13, 2015 by Brundageba correction Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twin Wolf Technology Group Posted November 13, 2015 Share Posted November 13, 2015 Bonnie, you raise some good points. Examining my assumptions, I assumed that Ambreen was part of the JLM Foundation and had not considered she was hired or outsourced. When I read the description on Datamatics site, I considered the list of talents to be beyond Ambreen's capabilities. However, a new thought has crossed my mind. Perhaps Bob Hunter has multiple web site investments, not just Ning. I have often wondered what else Bob Hunter does as a business man given his lack of concern for the obvious destruction to the value of Ning as an asset. I see many things that lend weight to your claim that Ambreen is a hired as an outsourced moderator. It makes me wonder how much she is getting paid and why Bob Hunter continues down this road. I do not see any return on investment nor a legitimate goal. Everyone loves a mystery, I guess that is why we keep watching. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chica de Chiriqui Posted November 13, 2015 Share Posted November 13, 2015 Her name is Ambreen Ghazi. At least that is how she signed her name in the letter she sent out about advert rates. After having noticed the change of slide show pictures on ning this morning, I am now convinced that Ambreen is Malaysian! I could barely contain myself when I saw the picture of the woman selling fruit wearing the non la bamboo hat! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is speculation on the Boquete News FB page that Bob /JLM wasn't/isn't so much interested in Boquete.ning as Lee's other sites that were sold along with it. Those sites are apparently rather lucrative. Since any further information I have is mere hearsay, I'll leave it at that.

Google her address - Monarch Galaxy, Flat No 303, Plot No 503, Sector 36 Seawoods-Nerul 400706 I would have almost no doubt that she is building a business for herself by offering services to developers like JLM. Ning is only one mystery. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
