Yellow Taxi; Robbery Scheme near Provenza

Hey all, a friend of my mine was recently robbed at gun point for his iPhone and watch while walking home from Provenza.

It was around 11pm. He was walking home from Provenza. He took his phone out to call an uber, but couldn't get enough service to use uber so he started walking home. He noticed a yellow taxi drive up next to him and the driver looking at him. He assumed the driver was waiting to be hailed for a ride. The taxi drove ahead and made a right turn on the street ahead. He thought the taxi had let but instead it parked and two men hopped put the backseat with guns.

The guys put a gun to his belly and demanded his phone and watch. He gave them both. Then they demanded his passcode for the phone. He was nervous and couldnt remember it so one of the guys grabbed his neck to hold his head still while they used facial recognition to unlock his phone. They succeeded in unlocking his phone and tool off running to the yellow taxi.
Be careful walking home at night from Provenza.

On a related note, there was another incident in Manila of an unsuspecting armed thief. A man was on a moto and had a Rappi backpack carrier and looked like a delivery guy. He cruised Manial until he spotted three girls standing outside of a Spanish school. He pulled out a gun and demanded their phones. Two of the girls gave up their phone. The third girl refused, so he shot her in the face. This was in June.

Its crazy that we have to look twice at yellow taxis and delivery drivers because armed robbers are posing as them.

I was kidnapped at the waterfall Choro de las campanas en el Envigado at the end of July. I was kidnapped by a group of three armed robers and we were group of 7 victims. So going in group doesn't save you at all, when they have guns. We spent 8 hours in the forest, calling people to get the requested amount for them and save our lives. Don't go to the mountains and nature with phone, where you have access to the bank account!

In Colombia, where its use seems to be most widespread, unofficial estimates of scopolamine events are at roughly 50,000 per year.

Figures show that 20 foreigners have now been found dead in the capital since the start of last year, with many of these coming in strange circumstances.

Rough estimates are that 50,000 people a year are scopolomined in Colombia every year.

Where did you get this number?

Express kidnaping of 5 people in Envigado eco park couple days ago.

...they were kidnapped for more than eight hours...
..They kept them walking while stripping them of their accounts and belongings, then they left them tied up until they confirmed they had empty accounts....

I am not saying all of Medellin is safe. But I walked all over the city without a problem (sometimes at night) and felt much safer than I do in a city like Santo Domingo in the Dominican Republic. Walking around at night in Santo Domingo. Tourist zones only. Of course it is almost unheard of for someone to be targeted for drugging in the Dominican Republic. And in my mind pussy is not worth dying for. I agree with the authors who say to learn and use the safety lessons given.

I suggest to everybody to stay away from Medellin. I was robbed $7 k and my friend $20 k (even tough I explained him all safety tips) Lots of gangs are fishing American tourists and spiking your drinks or blowing something to your face or even putting on something to their tits and after you lick or smell you wake up with an empty bank account after 48 hours. If you are married, your wife can go crazy. You end up into police station. They are doing a big nothing for you. There is no way to escape from this danger. They are using the well-known apps and beautiful girls. Then they are professional about hacking phones and emptying your all accounts, cash apps etc.

The dangers can be minimized, though not completely avoided, with the precautions that have been discussed on this forum.

If one is lacking in street sense (and common sense), trouble will likely find them. In Medellin, and in most parts of Latin America.

I believe if this is even real, the key is a rapid exit strategy. An antidote, physostigmine, but that only makes sense if it's real. I think if something like this happens you need to make a huge ruckus and stay active and involve as many people as you can in order to avoid falling into the hands of the one remote controller. But then again, I am not sure this is really true.

I suspect the only "antidote" that could prevent you from falling asleep, or at least shorten the time you're dozing, is modafinil. Popping the maximum safe dose of modafinil as soon as you feel sleep coming? Modafinil is an oral drug though, it may not work fast enough once you start feeling the effect of scopolamine (or any other "rape drug" like rohypnol) . Having a strong line of cocaine at the ready might be more efficient.

Yep, also stay away from Miami, NYC, Paris, Barcelona, Rio, LOS Angeles, Madrid, Chicago, etc. Too. A fool is born every minute and in every major city in the world they ignorantly go around and give fraudulent people a way to make a living. LOL. I can't say this enough, if you are totally game-less like this. Stay at the Mansion.

I have heard this for years. Scopolamine. But checking on Wikipedia, it is said to be doubtful and rather an urban legend.

Has anybody had it happen to them? Anybody seen it happen to someone they know?

Another thing, don't get drunk. I have no joy in being alcoholized and it isn't good for enjoying sex anyway. Most crime victims of this sort were drunk.

I know two people from another online forum who were scopolomined, and last week I heard from one of my overseas mates here in Bogota that the week before, he was scopolomined in a club. He fell asleep and when he woke up all his money and cards were taken.

Rough estimates are that 50,000 people a year are scopolomined in Colombia every year.

It's very real.

1. I'm not sure what makes you think it's not real. Read the Bogota forum a few pages back. Someone posted how he helped the villains take out his own stuff while having no recollection of that 2 days later.

2. Who's going to give you the antidote while you're out?

3. Doesn't have to be alcohol. I don't see why they couldn't drop something in your ginger ale if you live it unattended.

This shit really scares me. More than a street mugging would.
