This fellow declares that he spent a year traveling through 26 countries and the one place he will NOT visit again is Medellin.

However Medellin tourism is still booming.

My question is: Will there suddenly be a tipping point and tourists will vanish as quickly as they appeared? Costa Rica could be an alternative. It's more expensive however Medellin can quickly become super expensive if you get robbed or killed. I guess time will tell.[/QUOTE]That first guy is a scammer. He said he lost 15,000 dollars and now wants donations. Yea right. Either he is the dumbest tourist or a scammer.

Now that Medellin is getting more dangerous, have you guys ever thought of having two wallets. One with a little money with no ids you give to robbers and your real small wallet with your money you put in your sock. When you need to pay for your meal, you go to the bathroom and take your cash out.

[QUOTE=Gabacho;2880742]Yup that was me.[/QUOTE]I figured it was because judging from your posts I figured you wouldn't put up with that shit. Moonshot would have probably bought the beer and Nounce would have probably bought them dinner. Jaja.

[QUOTE=Gabacho;2880742] From both incidents I have become alot more selective about who I invite to come to my place. Usually only paisa not Veneca and only ones whom I know and trust and have previously vetted. [/QUOTE]That's why I wanted to try the FB thing since she was close to el Centro. I was hoping that we would have met outside to avoid any drama. I figured it would have been a test run. If anything it's a learning curve. There's just a lot more bullshit involved when they know where your staying and it's not so easy to just pull out the arrangement.

Maybe for next time have them meet you at the parque berrio metro station or in plaza botero and then take them to one of the short term hotels for a test run. This is how I usually do it now when dealing with ones I don't know yet.

I recommend hotel pasaje real as a good place to take them, it's 22 k for 3 hours and the rooms are clean. It's on Calle 51 and Junin. They sell the condoms for 2 k separate from the room fee but I never fucking use them LOL.

How does hosting FB / seeking girls in Mansion work? I know there is no fee to bring girls and I know they record the ids of guests. When I mention the ID check to the girls I was talking to, some of them either disappeared or became super slow and enthusiasm went down completely which I'm totally ok with, in fact, those are kinds we are trying to avoid after all. But still have 1 or 2 leads, that has not backed down yet. And I checked their information on the Chick-a-check site, nothing negative. Done video call to make sure the person matches the picture etc. So questions I have are.

1. What else can I do ahead of time to reduce my risk with these girls?

2. What should I expect from the Mansion in terms of their support? I mean like, do they check with their guests first before letting the girl leave the hotel? Do they stop anyone else entering the hotel if the girl sends the room# to somebody after coming to the room? Etc. Anything else?

May be I'm paranoid but just planning ahead to reduce the risk since I have couple of more weeks for my trip.

[QUOTE=TjBrazil;2880775]I want bring up a topic on crime in poor countries. People keep bringing up excuses why people steal in third world countries. When I was in Manila there was just as much poverty, if not more than Medellin, and no one was robbing people, and there weren't reports of any scoping. I never felt safer, even in the dump areas. Isn't it more cultural, that Asians have more morals than Hispanics overall. Why aren't Philippinos robbing people left and right. Why is it when a bunch of Hispanics come to America, a large portion of them become gang bangers and are up to no good, but when Asians come here they generally contribute, and aren't starting their own ms13.

Aren't some cultures just morally bankrupt and it's how they are raised, does anyone really believe that these millions of migrants that have come in to America aren't going to have a huge affect on crime in America. Some will work but the rest will be criminals. What do you guys think. Am I being xenophobic or is it the truth.[/QUOTE]Truth!

Especially the Venezuelans they are almost as bad as the MS-13 Salvadoreños that you mentioned.

I know several vennies who have left from Medellin and Bogota and went to Eagle Pass, TX and when they get there, the government is buying them plane tickets to New York City, Chicago, and Florida as well as giving them free cell phones and prepaid visa debit cards.

The when they get to NYC, Miami or Chicago, guess what they're doing? They're not working normal dignified jobs, no they are prostituting just like they did in Colombia. I have several on my Facebook that are posting pictures in front of times Square sporting the same mini faldas and high heels like as if they were in parque lleras.

You have crooked Joe Biden to thank for this. I expect crime will be on the rise in the US very soon in fact it probably is already.

Everybody, this is excellent advice. It's worked well for me for years.

This time a tourist from the Dominican Republic who was visiting Medellin was scoped and robbed by his Tinder Date. The bitxh even stole the TV from the Airbnb as well as the dude's belongings and charged over 3 million pesos to his credit cards.

In a separate pocket, I have my actual cash and a single CC I carry at a time. I don't bother with my license or passport, I have pictures of those in my real phone in my back pocket. Hidden by my loose t-shirt. Sometimes I carry a light jacket with inside pockets for my real stuff. If anyone confronts me I can pull out my fake wallet and red fake phone and hand it over and get out. Hasn't happened to me in Medellin, but this worked for me in Europe years ago.

I'm no snowflake but I'm not 100% in love with how you generalized. But I agree with your overarching point. I believe it stems from a fairly uninformed bias that we see play out on a micro level with the mujeres. My turn to generalize. LOL I would venture to say the VAST majority of hispanics firmly believe americans sleep on piles of money and just waste it all away. It's like they just think things are cheaper in Colombia, Brazil, etc. And that is the only thing that matters. They don't have a clue about cost of living in the US.

I'll be the first to admit that making money and avoiding poverty is much easier in the States. Undeniable. But what I'm talking about is the insanely inaccuarate depiction of EVERY american is wealthy, greedy and wasteful being the assumption amongst most hispanics. I think that bias plays at least some part of targeting gringos. And I'm talking about "average" latinos, not sharky putas.

When I roam the streets of zona norte in Tijuana at 2 or 3 in the morning, I'll actually have three "wallets". LOL I divided up my fun money fairly evenly amongst two wallets, so whether it's a chica or a mesero, they can't see how much I'm actually carrying. Wallet 3 is the easy access, hand it over wallet, if needed. Thankfully I've never needed to do that. I honestly fear that I'll be the "tough guy" out of principle. But, I do carry that 2nd or 3rd wallet with a few dollars and pesos.

As for a phone, I do carry a relatively newer phone. It's not my primary and has no cell service. Wi-fi only. And I've wiped any apps or banking info from it. It's somewhat inconvenient to not have cell service when you are out and about. But I've always made it work. Most of the time, my primary phone is in the safe.

[QUOTE=Nounce;2880699]I can easily image a scenario that police will ask him to pay 200 mil as agreed. It's an uncenssary hassle regardless,[/QUOTE]Nounce can you please tell us what exact crime CeeJay would have been arrested and charged with for refusing to pay her the 200 mil after politely declining her services??

Let's apply your same logic to buying a used toaster to put this into perspective.

So I find a nice used toaster on Facebook marketplace, Haceb, stainless steel finish, advertisement says it works like new, etc. I message the seller and we agree on 40 mil for the toaster, we agree to meet in parque San Antonio to make the transaction.

Upon meeting the woman shows me the toaster and it is all scratched up on the stainless steel finish and has a dent on the side and doesn't look as it did in the pictures from the Facebook marketplace advertisement.

I politely decline to purchase the toaster as it is not what I was expecting to purchase. Now according to your logic, she can call the police and the police will force me to give her the 40 mil pesos because I wasted her time? And she gets to keep the toaster too? Really Nounce this is what you are saying. I just changed it from purchasing sexual services to purchasing a toaster but the fundamentals of the transaction are the same.

No one in their right mind would think it would be fair for the police to make me the woman the 40 mil and she keeps the toaster. But yet if it is a sex worker it is okay for her to charge me the whole price for the services eventhough said services were never rendered?

It is not something I do. It is not unusual or a new idea. There are regular references to multiple wallets, burner phones, cheap phones, pocket money etc. I don't think any of the Colombia specific travel kit ideas do any harm beyond the inconvenience. I take a different approach and maintain a way to recover my phone configuration and data including the telephone numbers. I also have a way to disable my phone and financial apps and cards, none of which have access to funds until I add them from tools that are not on my phone but are accessible to me via the web browser on my phone or any other device.
