Posts: 3056Now you have me thinking, G, because I have seen this, too. It seems they contracted an internet virus shortly after our conversation and it magically manifested in reality. It happens in the Philippines too. I have been to the doctor but he, too, is puzzled. Internet hospital virus. Be careful mates.

Posts: 100Getting bus to Sosua
A few posts back, someone was being advised to move from SD to Sosua. To get the bus take an Uber to the Caribe Tours Bus Station. Roughly once per hour there is a bus leaving for Sosua and the journey takes 5 hours. Buy a ticket at the counter (350-400 peso) & then cruise the line of bus stops in advance of the scheduled dept. Time. There may be an announcement but if you just have pidgeon Spanish like me, you may miss it. You need to get into that queue to secure your place on the bus.
On the other end, I ignored the guy with the Taxi sign and just used a moto. They were offering transfer to downtown Sosua for 500 - I gave him 200.
It's a 5 hour journey but it didn't seem so painful.

In the last 2 weeks 2 different girls have sent me pictures from their hospital beds. Hospital gowns on and interveinous lines in place. Guess what they want.

Posts: 4026I agree, and to keep it simple and stress free I adhere very strictly to a long standing rule: Never send money to anyone for any reason. With this unbreakable rule in place, the many relentless ploys to get me to break it is free entertainment. It is high comedy.

Posts: 363Dominican Cupid Scammer chicks not technically scammers
I would call a scammer someone who does something like threaten to call the police and accuse you of some crime unless you give her money. A girl on the internet who asks you to send me money is simply fishing for fools. If you send money to someone you have never met, you surely are aware you are throwing it away?

Once we meet in person, I have no problem being generous within reason, but until then, no money. I've heard every sob story in existence. I'm sure there are many women that scam themselves some nice regular spending money with these tactics. I find Dominicans and Jamaicans very consistent with this method of operation. I pretty much doubt I will ever go back to the DR because I have so much more fun in Colombia and Peru.

Posts: 4026No harm, no foul, the place is a clip joint from day one. You had no way of knowing that. Except researching it here or asking questions. $100 is a crazy high price to pay anywhere in the country unless you are getting something much more special than what's offered at Oasis. Don't get me wrong, there are many places that will give you false reasons to pay that much but it's not necessary. Now you are a veteran, share your experience and help others.

Posts: 3056Warning: Domunican Cupid Scammer chicks.
Hi guys,
Although I have two regulars in SD and one in Santiago that I met via Dominican Cupid and these are all fine ladies not scammers I always try to add to the roster for my upcoming trips. Lately I've noticed the new cupid chicas I've contacted are all asking for $100 or peso equivalent before I even meet them (enticing me with sexy naked photos). Has this happened to you? How do you handle it? I normally say no I will pay you generously when I meet you x time / day at my hotel but not before and some agree to that and some don't proving their scam. I am just wondering how some of you guys handle this. The Filipino chicks on Filipino Cupid do this, too. Cheers.

Posts: 100At Mr. E. you're quite right on all counts. Although hindsight is 20/20, I was off my game. The involuntary 'tip' I see as a stupidity tax.
I'm usually the last to pay over the going rate but blood was flowing away from my brain to other parts!
I guess if there is a silver lining, I can thank her / them for me now upping my game. Decided to take the bus to Sosua today. Will still be going to other places over the next couple of weeks but need to get something out of my system.
