Scam man in Puerto Marino now ?

[Stan]

I think you and I would probably agree on many things John, including the sunshine! I still however say that you can't have it both ways with the door to door scammer, either he is trying to obtain money by fraud, in which case he is certainly not harmless or he is likened to a beggar where people just pay up without questioning his story. Enjoy the sunshine!

Cheers Stan, have a great day

Just had a phone call from friends of mine who have a yellow house opposite novar mar to tell me their guest have been done for €40 by the con man. He actually walked into the house. He used the same old story.

I did tell her about him but unfortunately she never thought to tell her guest.

If he entered the property without permission then this would be deemed a more serious offence and needs reporting to the local police just a walk away.
On a seperate point all the new shiny mailboxes on puerto have each persons name on, totally needed but sadly gives con man easy info when he visits, when he came to ours he was reeling neighbours names off which gave initial credibility to his story.

[John H]

Slightly off subject, but why do mail boxes need your name on?
Ours have our house number on.....there is space and a slot to enter your name which only two or three people have ever used

Good point regarding names not being needed, because even with names, house numbers etc the correos man seems incapable of delivering important letters to the right people, ive lost count of bank letters ive found in my box for other people.

As in the UK Victor I opt to receive everything electronically, so much easier
Although in fairness to the postal service here I never had a problem with missing mail

I believe our postman is Stevie Wonder, so I make allowances---

The postman/person never fails to deliver the electric and water bills, but a Christmas card was 8 weeks late!.

Mr Scam man has just visited us
The visit lasted all of 30 seconds.
He's looking a bit scruffy is the lad
Looks like he's working Novamar at the moment

Just had a Swedish couple from Novamar 2 called at our house to warn me about him, he's just tried it on with them
She did say that his bright red trainers had magical powers when she saw how fast he ran away

Maybe the policia local and the ayumentio could join the forum, then take some positive action to rid us of this menace

He cant be that bright as to think that word isnt out about him .....

Had the charity man the other day - sod woke me up from my siesta -  kept him at the gate while I pretended to go for some money but came out with the iPhone.

Next time I'll have it in camera mode (doh) as I walk out the door - he did a decent impression of Usain Bolt when I raised it up !!

[John H]

His first question to me, after telling me he'd just been robbed and he was one of my neighbours was "are you a holiday maker or resident"
Had my answer been holiday maker he may well have turned on the water works and his sob story
