Hi Everyone
I don't post often as I live in Uk, but holiday in Gran Alacant and have family who live in Santa Pola.
I have just spoken to my mum. Last night (very late) her door was knocked. A man knew her name & knew she spoke english. He said that he lived 2 floors down and had to have his locks changed. He said the locksmith had been and gone, but the new keys were inside his apartment.
My mum offered to call the police, but he said no as he had already done so. He said he couldn't withdraw any more money.
He then said he had 2 children. My mum closed her door and made him up a bag of food and drinks for the children. He refused to accept the food.
He never asked her for money.
All night she has worried about the children being locked out.
I told her that its highly unlikely that the children existed or that he lives in the same block.
If anyone has had a similar experience & has a description of any possible con men, can they kindly let me know.
She said he must know someone who knows her as he knew her name.
Thank you for reading this, any help would be appreciated, if only to convince my mum that it might of been a possible scam.
