Posts: 533I understand that Jackson may have his own agenda and as moderator of this board he can certainly "suggest that the author or another Forum Member consider posting a link to [such reports] in the Reports of Distinction thread." OTOH, I'm glad he doesn't take it upon himself to do that unilaterally. AND, going beyond that, I really think he should at least modify his recommendation process to only suggest that someone else OTHER than the author himself post that link IF they agree with that assessment.

Me and my friend will be visiting Costa Rica Aug 1 to 8 staying at Sportsmens Lodge. This will be my first trip to Costa Rica and I am thinking of renting a car.

It's obvious Big Bob 7's story has more to it than meets the eye. IMHO, he doesn't come off as a regular "mongorer" (sp?). Anyone who goes down there to "party with the locals" as he describes has a bit of another agenda and puts himself at risk. Those of us who go there strictly for the "tail" don't make waves to draw the eye (or ire) of local law enforcement. I'm booked for my 5th trip coming up in August and have never encountered questioning by anyone other than the girls out for a good time, like I am. I view SJ as having the same risks as any American metro area. My motto is: mind your own business, don't go places you're unfamiliar with, don't get blind drunk and you're pretty much going to get back to your hotel safe and sound. Again, MHO.

While there maybe more than meets the eye to parts of his story. he does make a few valid points. Think about it san jose is a shithole, yes the CR authorities are corrupt also. They are. But experiences at the MP's, such as new fantasy and Zona Blue are usually decent. The Tony lama Butch Pavilion ( known as the HDR), is always a wild card. But a lot of it has to do with your expectations and attitude going in. As others have said, CR is not a play to find a girlfriend. many mercenaries.
Big Bob the US is not the only place having economic troubles. It is worldwide, perhaps you would like to visit Zimbabwe on your next monger visit, tell us how wonderful the Mugabe regime is.....

First of all, the HDR is listed as a Hotel and Casino, not an MP. Sure, in actuality it is essentially the same as an MP, but do the credit company computers really know that?
Secondly, its not like the HI and the HDR are the only games in town. There are MANY other hotels that are MUCH more tica friendly than EITHER of those places (e.g. they dont charge the $50 and $10 guest fees that those places charge). And even though those places are arguably even more tica friendly than the HDR, I seriously doubt their names showing up on any credit card reciepts is going to raise any suspicions.
Third, if for some reason you absolutely have to stay at some hotel that either charges you $10 or more for the "right" to do bring back chicas or even doesn't let you bring back them at all, then that doesn't mean ZB or NF are the only other games in town either. Of course, there are lots of OTHER MP's and night clubs to choose from that offer on-premises entertainment but you could still pick up chicas at places like the BM or KL. You'd just might have to take them back someplace other than your non-tica-friendly hotel (e.g. the Hotel Asia has short-term rooms right around the corner from the BM for just $10)
And fourth, if you really like the HDR so much but don't want them showing up on your credit reports you could always pay your bill in cash. In fact, at some of the other TRULY chica friendly hotels you can sometimes get a pretty nice discount FOR paying in cash.

"Most borrowers know a late payment or high outstanding balance can hurt their credit. But what about frequenting a massage parlor, retreading a tire, or visiting a marriage counselor? Such activities count, too, according to a suit filed by the Federal Trade Commission in federal court in Atlanta on June 10 against card issuer CompuCredit ..."

I'm re-thinking my stay at the hotel del ray. I mean I can stay at the holiday inn (not tica friendly) and just visit fantasy & ZB. A decent plan?

This is what happened to me as told to a friend via PM's.
Cpsta Rica is out of the bag and has been burned out by dumb ass gringos for years so I have no interest in trying to keep other yahoos away. I am making this info available because the environment in San Jose has changed and if you don't know about it you could wind up in a lot of trouble over some nonsense like I did. For those of you who have made 1000 posts and already know every fucking thing that there is to know in the universe PLEASE IGNORE THIS MESSAGE...P.S. don't drop the soap!!!
There was some kind of huge mobilization of police going on down there. In Barrio Amon there were like two fuerzas publicas on every corner and in the DelRay and Key Largo there were a lot of obvious American undercover agents. I met this guy from Limon and his girlfriend outside of the DelRay. They invited me to go to a hip hop/reggae club in San Pedro called Tavarua. We went and partied all night in the VIP section and invited up a load of fine assed local hotties. That morning I returned to the Inca Real. The next day I went to AS for some chicken wings and cops were following me. I wasn't even aware of it at first but a guy on the street came up to me and said, "dude you got problems", and motioned behind me. I realized that they might arrest me so I went to a cabina to call some relatives. They blocked the calls and recorded the numbers. I tried to walk to the Radisson and make a call and they sent a motorcycle unit ahead to talk to the front desk and keep me from calling out. I returned to the room and realized that the entire hotel had been emptied. There were no guests anywhere in sight. I tried to call from the room and none of the calls would go out. Then the front desk guy picked up the phone and acted like the operator and asked what number I was calling. He then informed me that the call would not go through. I started using the Internet then after about 20 minutes the Internet stopped working.
I realized that they could not stop a call at the airport so I took a cab out there to make the call. There are phones outside and inside at the departure terminal. I went to go inside to make the call and at the last minute I changed my mind just as the sliding doors were opening and turned towards the outside phones. I noticed six cops running towards me as if to grab me. When they saw that I was not going to go inside they tried to play it off as if nothing was happening (which was totally ridiculous at that point). I made the call and went to Key Largo because I knew that they had the Internet computers there. I sent messages to my family telling them what was going on. I then went to the DR and started drinking Redbulls because there were nothing but agents at the hotel and I thought that they might grab me there. I was approached by a Nica hooker who was really undercover. She was asking me all kinds of questions and then asked to see my passport and looked at all of the exit and entry stamps. During the talk she confided in me that her brother was working for the fuerzas publicas and that she had only been working the Rey for a month. Nobody seemed to know her there. I hung out with her all night going to Key Largo and some clubs in Barrio Mexico because I wanted to stay awake and feed her information so that she could realize that I was just a tourist and not some major drug kingpin. Undercover agents followed us everywhere that we went and stood at the edge of he dance floor watching us. There were from 6 to 9 of them at this point. It got late and I took her to a dirty, grungy fuck motel and fucked her and told her what I thought was going on. She was tryng to convince me to get a fake passort and illegally cross the border with her into Nicaragua (a set up) and told me to go back to the hotel because the police would not arrest me that night. I was to call her the next day to set up the escape. I didn't.
The next day I went to Heredia to cool out . I took the bus up there and then cab to hotel flores. I took a cab from there checked out of the Inca Real and moved to Heredia. I think that I lost them that night and that pissed them off. The next day I contacted a host family that I stayed with in Santa Barbara and arranged to move in with them. I figured that I would be safer out in the middle of nowhere. Bad move. They set up surveillance out there and talked to the family that I was with and turned them against me. Then they set up twenty four hour patrols of three motorcycle units and a police car and the big paddy-wagon with the siren on and circled the neighborhood for two and a half weeks straight. The whole town was in on it and people I passed in the street would be saying, "When are they finally going to grab that guy." It had to be annoying everyone because the sound of the vehicles passing and the sirens was deafening. I contracted a lawyer from the American Embassy list and went to the station with him in Heredia to see what was up. They said that there was no case on me and that they were not following me. The lawyer was slick and had lived in London and in the U.S. and spoke good English. He kept telling me not to worry about the tails but to get some money and have it ready. In retrospect I think that he was in with the police from the start.
After talking to the police in Heredia the cops put an undercover agent at every cab stand in Heredia so that when I approached the real cabbies would drive off and only the cops would be left to take me anywhere. They would grill me with questions for the whole trip and would act like they didn't know where anything was. For example, I wanted to return from Heredia and go to Santa Barbara and the guy took me to Barva. Stuff like that...and then would try to act like he had never heard of Santa Barbara. I could here the family talking to each other in hushed voices at night saying, "I hope that they grab him soon." Then the bank put a hold on my account which was really my fault because I forgot to call them before leaving for my trip. I knew that I needed a secure line to verify my identity and remove the hold and the American embassy would not provide me with one. I made the call at the lawyers office and he listened in and stole my info. He then tried to rob my account but luckily was not able to because the bank refused to remove the hold without me first sending some faxed signatures and copies of my ID. The hold blocked him out too but I was worried because I didn't have a lot of money left on me and now I couldn't remove that hold or he could clean me out.
I decided to do some research on the net to try to find out what was going on. I found an article which said that the guy that I had been hanging out with had been arrested on possesion with intent to sell in Jaco. He had mentioned wanting to make a trip to Limon to see his family and I think that he knew that the heat was on and wanted to get out of town. I also read about the OIJ (who had arrested him) and realized that I wasn't crazy in thinking that these young undercover goons were following me around (most OIJ agents are recruited directly out of high school and this accounted for their aggressive thuggy vibe.) In fact there were three of them waiting outside of the Internet cafe watching me as I was reading about them. On the way home the lady in front of me on the bus openly called the cops on her cellphone to tell them that I was headed back to Santa Barbara. (They never seemed to get it into there thick skulls that I speak fluent Spanish). On the way to the house a group of kids were sitting in front of the church on the plaza and one of them flipped me the bird and said, "Ahora ganamos."
When I got home I noticed a strong odor of cocaine in the back room across from where I was sleeping. I tossed the room looking for what they planted but couldn't find anything. Two days later the mother of the family that I was staying with said that she needed to remove the beds from that room because another family needed them. I knew then that the coke was probably in the frames. They had to do something because I wasn't a trafficker and the stalemate of watching me and harrassing the shit out of everybody in Santa Barbara was making them look bad. On top of that they are watching me go from club to club dancing , drinking, and fucking while they are outside somtimes in the rain on a steakout. This had to be getting old for them. I new that the fix was in and was running out of money so I left all of my shit at the house and made a break for it. My family bought me a ticket home and I jumped on a bus to Heredia. They had tails on the bus and I heard one of them say to the other, "He's going for the plane now!!". I jumped of the bus at a stop midway to Heredia where I saw three cabs waiting. I jumped in the cab and had him take me to the airport. At the airport a group of 6 agents followed me on the first leg of the flight. They just happened to all be seated around me. I just happened to be seated next to a superfine twenty something model quality Nica (also an agent) who just knew that I was THE most interesting person on the flight and was FASCINATED with me. She spent the flight milking me for info and then suggested that we spend our layovers together. I agreed until we got off of the flight and three out of the six cops went running ahead of me towards immigration. She was there to slow me down because I didn't have bags and she did. I ditched her telling her that we had to wait in two separate immigration lines anyway and that I would meet her on the other side and I went running towards immigration. I got through without being stopped and at that point I felt a lot better because I was officially back in my country.
This was the first time that anything like this has ever happened to me and it was a fucking drag. On top of that I wound up spending a lot of money on this crap and I lost my bag and everything in it but I am free and not in a Costa Rican jail so Cest La Vie. On the monger side of things it turns out that the undercover ho has the best pussy in San Jose. I went to some massage parlors, including a repeat with Rachel who is now a hardened, cold-blooded, gold-digging ***** who can't even spell GFE. The girls at the Rey have gone down and look really plastic and used up. The quality of the Colombianas has really taken a nose dive since I was last there. There were a couple of Black Colombianas working the Rey who would have had trouble moving that pussy in Cali....no joke. There would have been few takers and I was surprised that they could do business in San Jose. You can tell that people are pissed that the exchange has gone from 460 to 520 overnight and there is a lot of anti U.S. sentiment building over the decision to approve the TLC just as the American economy is tanking. The family that I stayed with in Santa Barbara now has iron bars surrounding their entire house and the lawyer who tried to rob me said that he moved his practice from Barrio Amon to to Pavas because his wife was robbed and almost strangled to death by a gang of Colombians in the mid-afternoon. I don't care what anyone else does but I will never go back there.
The guy I was with got arrested in Jaco with 20 something grams of pure coke ....20 grams of crack and something else. You speak Spanish right!!! Here is a link.
nacion.com/ln_ee/2008/junio/05/sucesos1565428.html
You have to put the www before this. If I didn't erase it I don't think that this message would display the link.
I could have met this guy at the Pueblo, in a restaurant....anywhere. And I don't believe that nonsense in the paper either. He used to work security at the club that he took me to and was happy when they offered to let him work the next night after we went. He told me that he dealt but he wasn't happy about it and was super small time. He was just a regular young guy who fell on hard times. Really he was living off of his girl who had a nice job in Cartago. They set this dude up just like they were going to set me up. He was no Escobar but he was a Black guy from Limon in San Jose and his profile made a good media story. While they were framing him the guys 10 rungs up the ladder from him are STILL dealing with impunity and immunity. And please note that I am not the only one on this board talking about undercover cops operating in San Jose now!
I never realized that partying with a stranger could get me in this much trouble. Actually, my instincts told me not to mess with that dude but I was thinking that he had some kind of hidden agenda. As time went along and he didn't try to con me out of any money or anything I thought that everything was cool. What I want to impress upon you and everyone on the forum is just that, for some reason now, there are a lot of undercover motherfuckers posing as mongers in and around the DelRay and to watch your back. This is something new in San Jose and it seems to be a joint effort with the U.S. police force or Interpol or something. So we all need to be a little more careful than before. Also if you check out the CR forum you will see that a lot of guys are being mugged in Barrio Amon in broad daylight now walking from New Fantasy to Zona Blue by armed motorcycle thugs. I think that what has happened is that as the economy has worsened the Colombians who were pimping those girls have turned to robbery as there own personal hustle.

Posts: 573Here We Go Again,
It seems that "BIG BOB" is trying to direct traffic away from San Jose. Those of us who frequent the Colombia boards have already seen this. Before long Jackson will have to fully Moderate this place as well. I would agree that San Jose is one of the worst places to find real GFE, but i really don't think this report will carry much weight when sized up with thousands of favorable ones. I think when he mentioned that their economy was in the shitter he hoped to furthur discourage travelers from fucking his new girlfriend. But don't we seek crumbling economies?
Lorenzo, with our combined 1200 posts on this board, we may not have quite enough experience to comment here.
I think I should retract my statement and take Bob's advice!!!
