Your Right Jeff. / Goodbye Estafadoras.
Yes. Thanks.
Yes, first I thought of getting back at her, but then I recalled that every female I have had a conflict with here in Colombia since 2009 has, when loosing there faces, threatened to go to the police and acuse me of sexual abuse.
Real or not, just the attitude is enough.
Yes, Internet girls that are very pretty normally are scammers in a broad sence.
Maybe, maybe, I might just have found one, a future girlfriend (even further ahead; wife) She is 20, very pretty, but she is a student in engineering and plays the violine up to four hours a day. She is harmeless in the areas where the Barracudas operate. Very serious young lady. So now it will be culture, like Teatro Metropolitano etc. Goodbye, estafadoras!
She represent the type of young latinas that look for a mature man for marriage. This is a cultural thing. But far from every girl wants an mature man, but some real serious hotties do. Then the problem becomes mine; I'm I enough serious in her (her family's) eyes.
But I agree. Internet is not the right place. 9 out of 10 has been bad girls, some real bad, amongst the very pretty one's that know men simply falls in love with them because of their looks.
Those girls that I have met, The Barracudas, who will stop at nothing when it come to getting a man's money, still operate on the dating sites, since like 3-4 years, with "I'm a honest hardworking woman blaha blaha"-profiles.
[QUOTE=VegasJeff;1595893]Hang in their man. Many guys are too proud to write about their failures.
Don't get the police involved. A get back or get even attitude can be dangerous in Colombia. Let this go and move on.
Just a piece of advice. If you are really looking for relationship in Colombia don't look for it on the computer! The women who will make the best companions will not be looking for foreigners on the computer.
There are plenty of girls that are not looking for sex for money from foreigners as a means of survival. Try to meet girls at their jobs, away from the areas where foreigners often frequent.
Don't judge these girl's nonpro status by their sweetness and how things "seem to be". Take a good, hard look at the girl's finances and see if things make sense. As with all things, follow the money and you will find the truth.
Colombians send their worst to the States and we send our worst to Colombia. If you want exceptional relationships, be the exception.
Good luck.[/QUOTE]
Karolina: Me stupid, she a talented thief!
[QUOTE=Ricker;1595853]How the heck did she get $1500 bucks from you?
She steal a credit card or something?
Did you give her access to bank account?
How did you come up with 88% of the girls are good and 11% are bad scammers?
Odd numbers to come up with.
What about the missing 1%?
Sorry about your loss amigo.
Good luck in the future.[/QUOTE]She saw the code. Jesus! She saw the code when I payed at the restaurant.
I had put away the cash into my suitcase.
When I took a shower she waited for me in my hotelroom. Then she took the card, ran to the ATM and took out cash, and then back to the room, putting back the card in my wallet.
I could just got out of the shower 1-2 minutes or seconds before and I had caught her. Since the first thing I did, was to check if my card was still in my wallet. It was. This she managed to do both Friday and Saturday night!
I saw the withdrawals and called my bank. The bank gave me the facts and where and when, and I put it together.
On the Friday she took out 1. 8 million and on the Saturday 1. 2 million. 3 million pesos! The ATM max!
I broke my own security rules. I did not ask for her cedula when she entered my hotel. I left her unwatched. I mean JESUS!
This was a lesson to be learned.
Now I have updated my security routines; I change codes on my cards when I feel someone might have seen it, I have a wire-lock on my closet and inside I have another lock on my laptop bag and suitcase etc etc.
I needed to be thaught a tuff lesson.
Since I broke up with my X-paisa I have acted carelessly. As a romantic fool! It could have been a lot whorse.
Karolina and I now play the game. She asks if I'm OK, I say I wish to she her again, while figuring out how to frame her.
But then I recalled all other girls like her, which with much less or no succes have tried to decieve me, have been furious when caught. The normal response has been; "I will go to the police and acuse you of sexual abuse".
So I will let her go. But I must inform you guys.
There where warnings. In her behaviour. She has done this many times before. So I have to take the shame of being the fool of the day and write these reports, to hopefully prevent her from devieving other forum members.
This since I voluntarily have met several of the most beautiful girls on Cupid etc.
It's kind of an addiction.
But it seems to be over. Finally met someone who is beautiul, but serious. I'm the one now to have to show that I'm not just looking for sex, but have a plan for the future, which she and her family excepts I have.
Time and location = Karolina
[QUOTE=Manizales911;1596225]I call BS on this sir. She would have to be sitting on your lap to be able to follow you punching in your pin #,most people do it fairly quickly and assuming that she was sitting across from you she would have to read it upside down.
It was probably the restaurant that cloned your card,this is a common occurrence down here,don't use a credit card here,period.[/QUOTE]According to the bank the withdrawal was made with the card with chip in a ATM some 50 meteres from the hotel, during 7 min resp. 4 min. I recall what I did. I was taking a shower.
She sat next to me, but sure she must have been VERY lucky to get the code like that, but the exact time of the withdrawals tells that it is her, not the hotelstaff as I initially thought.
Since it was the card with chip, it was not shimming, and in order to get a refund I need to have some sort of identification of her, since it teoretically could be myself who did the withdrawal.
She is skilled in what she does.
I would love to go to Pereia and explain my case to the police and have her explain herself. But I think such an humilitaion she will not take. She will respond with an acuse of sexual abuse.
It is the oldest trick in the world and as an Old Pirate I should have knowed better.
I had kind of pneumonia and sinusitis and aside the antibiotice I took painkillers Tramadol which made me slow. I should never have traveled to that ugly city.
I have always had maximum bad luck in Pereira, all bad stuff happens to me there since close to 5 years it has been like this.
It was an expensive mistake.
Karolina simply knows to much about the luxury hotels, luxury restaurants en " el Circumvular", which is Pereiras "La 70" etc. For being an unemployed 28 girl. She has done this before and is right in this very moment pick up new "suckers" that eventually falls in her trap.
