Just goes to show I spend too much time flattening my arse on DR1.oops...sorry...thanks Rocky....
any reports on the new Castle Burger across from the Merengue Club ?
I guess that is true when you consider he used to run a progressive Keno game.The owners are trying to make an honest living, which is more than we can say about some other gringos we have seen come to Sosua who live to scam newbies..
Is that for real?I guess that is true when you consider he used to run a progressive Keno game.
Rocky and other respected, informative DR1ers: perhaps you guys and gals can start a thread about the various scams you've seen that you alluded to.The owners are trying to make an honest living, which is more than we can say about some other gringos we have seen come to Sosua who live to scam newbies.
The concept is good, in the sense, that it could help newbies avoid being scammed, but the reality is that there would be inherent problems, such as, if someone exposes a scam, the perps of that scam, might not be overjoyed, and could seek out revenge.Rocky and other respected, informative DR1ers: perhaps you guys and gals can start a thread about the various scams you've seen that you alluded to.
THAT would be very, very informative and helpful.
Couldn't this be done without naming names?The concept is good, in the sense, that it could help newbies avoid being scammed, but the reality is that there would be inherent problems, such as, if someone exposes a scam, the perps of that scam, might not be overjoyed, and could seek out revenge.
Another problem, is if someone has a hidden agenda, and simply wants to hurt someone, he could falsely accuse him of scamming.
I think it best to keep such conversations private.
You could do it in a generic way, like to say, "Beware of a real estate agent, who scams people, selling lots that don't even belong to him", but, wouldn't the next question be, "Who?"?Couldn't this be done without naming names?
Understood.There is also the poster credibility issue: I'd be more prone to believe some folks more than others.
So far, I don't think it's going to be me.I think maybe y'all should consider some sort of "Beware of this kind of scam" thread.
