A good con artist needs to appear trustworthy and likable in order to win the trust of his victim. Con artists are charismatic, intelligent, have good memories, and know how to manipulate people's hopes and fears. They attempt to blend in, to look and sound familiar, and often work diligently at appearing to be smooth, professional, and successful. He fits the description perfectly. My Spidey sense was tingling the first time I saw him. Just like a con man he was looking for a Mark😁. Don't feel bad he's good at what he does. Thanks for letting everyone know the truth. Like they say the expats are more dangerous than the locals.

Yes, as one one the other viewers commented, I'd like to see him rei-interviewed on all the channels on which he has appeared and confronted with the truth. I'm a retired federal officer and his explanation of his arrest and detainment in Thailand didn't add up. Some of his information he provided on Pea's channel about the services provided at the VA clinic in Manila didn't sound correct. I'm a 100% permanent and total disabled veteran and I DO NOT have restrictions on my health care I can receive at the Manila VA clinic.

Thanks for putting this info out. I did run into this guy both on Paul's channel and on the Filipina Pea. On the Pea he was putting out info on the VA here as if he was an expert. This guy was all over you tube. I didn't trust his story when I heard him. I'm glad the truth has come out.

[@drdr76]

Wow. I watch his videos too. I agree with you though, all he had to do was come clean and most would have forgiven him. I won't watch his channel anymore that's for sure.

[@curtiscagle6261]

Paul is an excellent con artist. He is a good actor and displays confidence and intelligence. Paul is a good performer and probably has a good memory. He fooled me and I am not easily deceived. It's too bad he couldn't put his skill set to use to making an honest living. Paul is not sorry for what he did.

[@zealman79]

He is a convincing raconteur...I got sucked in to his entertaining story on Paul in the Philippines....

[@gregorywilliams2863]

Dang i been watching his channel. Actually like him. I didn't expect this

[@everymanhasastory]

I liked him too

[@gregorywilliams2863]

If he would just come clean. I think most people will forgive and he can continue his channel. Like you say"everyone has a story ". Lol

[@jonathancohen2351]

Paul's reply video is very inspiring. I hope you guys can work things out and we can learn from this.

[@jonathancohen2351]

@@mikedezo424 yeah, he still has a ways still to go. It will be interesting to see how this turns out.

[@patrickobrien4399]

Thank you Mark for this information. I had watched World Zoom a few times. Last year I was in Dumagette and just got back a couple weeks ago from Biliran. Thanks again

[@everymanhasastory]

Thank you 😊

[@E-stylz-1967]

He sounds like George Santos, and would fit right in as a american congressman today.

[@jonathancohen2351]

Maybe there should be a channel called Every Man Has a Skeleton in their Closet.

[@mrrobert177]

Thanks for information. Glad u took the time and effort to make others aware of such individuals in the Philippines. Paul Cardwell (world zoom) of Indiana is definitely tne type of guy we should all avoid in the Philippines or anywhere. A true con artist. Be careful out there. I'm surprised he is allowed a visa by Philippines government. Everyone deserves a second chance if they admit fault and are honest moving forward. But this guy is still telling lots of bs stories on his and other channels.

[@leebomccool8997]

Sorry Bob but he owes you nothing. Sorry you can't Karen his visa like you want too.

[@mrrobert177]

@@leebomccool8997 why would u defend this guy going on other people's channels and telling tale tales? Hope u are never in a vulnerable position in life whether it be health or age and run into a guy like this, because this is the type of guy that will fleece you or a friend in a vulnerable situation without losing a minute of sleep. Clearly he has learned nothing from his prison sentence and I'm just voicing my opinion that countries should not allow unreformed con artists into their country. I would hope better representatives of the USA go live in other countries. I say anything about his visa except I was surprised the Philippines allows him in.. why u so sensitive? And u call me a Karen? u sound like a true keyboard warrior!

[@vincentfranklin4186]

I saw those videos! Thank you for the heads up. Now I must verify the information he passed about the VA. 😮

[@timstafford355]

Wow, shocking, thank you for this video! I have watched his videos, you definitely wouldn't hear this coming from his mouth.

[@DavidLee-be4oz]

Wow, I watched a couple of the interviews and did not even suspect anything sketchy. The guy is a very smooth conman! I have a close friend and former colleague who worked in Thailand for years who worked with the department of health and the various leading hospitals over there and was going to send him the video, thinking they may may crossed paths. Lol. Not unless my friend was in Thai prison! Great sleuthing Mark!

[@leothelion4952]

Hi Mark, Yea i watched your interview of Paul and he really knows how to bolster his story all to make himself look good. He is the type of guy who has done everything and leave us in awe in all he had accomplished tho he leaves out all the bad stuff. He should just come clean and more people would like him.

[@tryscience]

He posted a video today the elephant in the room. Check it out

[@milescali]

Right. I think he should start off with "hi, I'm a convicted felon". Come on man. Give the guy a break.

[@tryscience]

@@milescali I agree, if you have a wolf in sheep's clothing carrying a sign, "hi, I'm really a wolf", people aren't going to treat it like a sheep. Point being, with awareness of the past, not only are people more resistant to being scammed, But Paul is given a chance to live a more honorable life. The price he will pay moving forward is that people may take what he says with a (healthy) grain of salt.

[@milescali]

@@tryscience good point, but what did he lie about? Just omitted parts of his past. If he lied about things then yes we can be upset. As for his channel, it's entertainment and simple advice in the Philippines. I guarantee every KZbinr has a past they will not want to talk about. Point being, sharing your felonies to live a more honorable life is a silly argument. I come to KZbin for entertainment. I've never invested more than my time watching videos. I believe Paul has never asked for a dime from any of his viewers. Therefore, Paul has no expectations to share his past issues with the law unless he wants to. Paul never said his past was perfect. He just omitted the ugly part. I'm okay with that.

[@tryscience]

@@milescali It's for Paul to say what he lied about, if he lied. I'll give some minor points as an example. Was he jailed in Thailand because of speaking out against the military junta to a reporter as he claims, or was he arrested because he was recognized as a fugitive on the run from the crimes in the States? When jailed did he have the notorious merchant of death as a cellmate or was it a lie to make an interesting story? Others have questions if he served as CEO in different countries. And whether he was a military officer although he has clearly stated he was never a seal. I've encouraged Paul to reach out to Mark to follow up because it is not cool to ghost Mark as Mark does not deserve this. If Paul follows up with Mark he should bring proof of his service and his degrees and admit what parts of his story are lies that have not yet been admitted to. It's a painful process. But now that the controversy is in the forefront, it is really the one and only time to address it.

[@peteh6063]

Wow wow wow Mark… I would’ve never had guessed this. I am a follower of his. I hope you’ve done your homework and are completely accurate on this. If so good for you Mark takes a honest brave person like yourself to call him out. Some fraudsters we can spot a mile away… Otherwise be very careful. Maybe after this video he will realize… And self reflect… Asking the question,Am I the same person as I was or do I deserve a second chance that I was after in the Philippines. If the latter is the case then Paul needs to man up… Set the record straight. Must’ve been very difficult decision for you Mark, but I feel you’ve done the right thing. Yes your channel is interesting and entertaining… And every man does have a story, and as you interview you can only hope that their stories are accurate and not full of embellishment...or lies.I respect you a ton more!! See you in September brave man 🇨🇦

[@robmari497]

Google him, it’s quite socking!

[@audtom52]

Much respect to you Mark for coming out with the truth.....it maintains your credibility. Very surprising that this guy who should be in hiding starts his own KZbin channel and goes on anybody's who will have him......very weird.

[@everymanhasastory]

Thank you Thomas 😊

[@harrywalsh791]

Wow! What some people will do. How the hell did he think he wouldn't be found out? No one should fault you; you took him at his word...

[@leebomccool8997]

What did you "find out" Harry and how far is that info going to carry you?

[@thefilipinapee]

You can take the man out of the ghetto , but you can’t take the ghetto out of the man. 🤪

[@robertlalor8090]

I've reached out to Paul, and I now reach out to you. We all know the parable of the lost sheep. I pray that you will find it in your heart to attempt to bring him back into the fold, with the strong proviso that any repeat by Paul will lead to stewing, permanent stewing.

[@DHarri9977]

I hope he decides to do a response video and comes clean, as you said if he's paid his debt and has turned over a new leaf then let's hear about it. He's a very smart guy and can easily produce and present various points of living in the Philippines and other more detailed informative vlogs. At the end of the day, I hope he can address this issue and is able to at least clear the air.

[@everymanhasastory]

That is exactly what I would like to see happen.

[@stevenbaer9061]

I don't agree that the felon is a very smart guy, he is simply a con man. People like the con man are incapable of 'coming clean'........it is all a con.

[@ricksdestinationcebu]

That would go along way with a lot of people

[@jonoda894]

Look him up. Paul David Cardwell, articles about him coming up.

[@sentinel80]

He’s done a rebuttal already.

[@_apey]

WOW.... that guy sounded like super successful superman. Come to find out that was not the case. Thanks for letting us know!!

[@scottspence8216]

Good on ya for calling him out
