I was called by my secretary to hurry back to office because there is a foreign man who wants to see me. So I hurry back and sure enough there was an older man drinking tea in our clinic, sitting comfortably and being pampered by the staff. He then walks into my office and shakes my hand with a sincere smile. Tells me he is from Holland. Then he starts to talk to me about USA, pakistan and other stuff. He tells me he livesin la romana and is working with some organization as a medical doctor. He has worked in haiti as well. He talked about many subjects and deviated all over in conversation. Always had a sincere smile and very friendly attitude. Then I had to interrupt him to ask for his reason for the visit. I was expecting he would talk about his back pain. To my surprise, he tells me he was just robbed about a block away. Guys took his money and even his passport. He has no way to return to la romana. If I would lend him some money he would definitely return from la romana to give my money back. he has to return anyway tomorrow (saturday) to get a new passport from the embassy.
I laughed while I was still trying to comprehend the situation. He didn't look upset or even shaken from the robbery incident. hahahaha. This is when I noticed he was a bit filthy as well (dirty jeans etc). I knew he was a con-man and I had seen his kind before in santiago. there are at least 3 different guys in santiago who are claiming the same story. These foreign men look for people with foreign sounding names. He saw my sign outside the clinic and he walked in. I think he told me his name is Adrian. Must be in late 50's or early 60's, blue eyes and slim in weight.
watch out for him.
