[QUOTE=Knowledge;2620599]The Global Entry rules condition membership on maintaining full compliance with immigration and customs regulations.[/QUOTE]Totally agree.
[QUOTE=Knowledge;2620599]Other things that can get your Global Entry revoked are flouting tobacco and liquor quantity rules or providing inconsistent information to customs and border patrol personnel.[/QUOTE]I agree that there are those two for sure. They even mentioned the alcohol issue when I got my Global Entry. It was almost like "Yeah, like do not bring in any drugs, but if you bring in excess liquor and do not pay the customs duty, your global entry is done. " I kind of laughed at which one Customs took more seriously.
[QUOTE=Knowledge;2620599]This includes counterfeit goods like watches and handbags that some guys like to bring providers.[/QUOTE]Knowledge, I am not so sure about this one. I have walked across the border and bought counterfeit handbags and declared them when I re-entered the country. The amount I bought was under the dollar limit for goods and there was no issue. Quite frankly, this was a Mexican border town and if Americans could not bring back these fake handbags into the USA, they would not be selling them, and the vendors were selling them in droves.
As to why Mr. E's GE was revoked, Mr. E has admitted to saying crazy things to customs like "I went to Colombia for the women", and he also admitted that he is completely oblivious to the idea that governments are cracking down on prostitution. He said they are just going after marketing. SMH.
Governments have said in the newspapers and elsewhere that they are going after trafficking and to do that, they are going after guys who monger. I have heard time and again guys say, "I am not supporting trafficking" or "They are going after pimps who really traffic and not guys like me" even when American LE has arrested thousands if not millions of mongers in the last few years. When I tell mongers what LE and the government have said, and LE is after them, these guys attack me.
The denial on this issue is just amazing. These guys just invent excuses why LE is not going after them. Mr. E has even said, "I am not doing anything wrong. ", and I want to scream, "Yes, Mr. E if you are telling customs you travel to other countries to fuck hos, even if it is legal in that country, you are doing something wrong in our government's eyes."
Global Entry is part of the trusted traveler program, and that means that the government is going to treat you differently because it trusts you. So even if you are going abroad to do a mountain of white stuff or sleep with a hundred women, you respond with something benign. Why were you in Colombia? "There was a project I was looking to invest in" or "I went to see my GF". If you are going to use the GF line, you should have one girl that you know all about that you can use as your GF.
You are actually protecting the customs agents who let you in because if something bad happens to you in a foreign country, the shit could come back politically on the agent who did not detain you or customs as a whole. You want to represent yourself as a good ambassador for the USA. If you say or imply that you are going abroad to fuck a bunch of hos, I would expect Customs to revoke Global Entry because you are practically admitting you are a bad ambassador.
But I do not think they have to give you any reason to kick you out. If it is the Trusted Traveler program, they can just say, "We do not trust you anymore" and be done with it IMO. Why in the world would you want to give them a reason not to trust you? Like with all LE, you say as little as possible and be as PC as possible.

Second Day in centro
Today I stayed about 3 hours in centro. I have done a few rounds and drank some beer.
It was raining in between and I could find only one who was meeting my criteria and Budget.
An 18 year Old Venezuelan (I checked the ID) with a pink dress through which you could See Her underwear.
She agreed to 30 k for BBBJ + CFS. And 6 k for the room.
Nothing special. She was cold.
After the BBBJ I fucked her doggy and then mish.
When I Was still naked She Just went haha.
Nothing special at all, only her Teenie body.
Then I went because the rain Was getting stronger.
Tomorrow I will come one Time in the morning and then again in the afternoon.
I think its better than staying there for a few hours.

[QUOTE=Tasss;2620758]YMMV but Centro was a bust this October overall. Some of my observations.
1. It feels more dangerous this time around, especially after dark. More weirdos who I feel are are trying to approach me, especially around the less lit areas. Probably because more foreigners attract more thieves.
2. Way more foreigners around. Some places feel a bar in the Philippines with middle age to older white gentlemen hanging around talking to each other. Didn't see this kind of concentration before.
3. Girls are rejecting offers that are about 50 k less than what I give for FB girls to go to my apartment (yes I know that's not the norm for Centro girls). At that point it's completely not worth it. At a 50 k difference between Centro girls and FB girls, the risk / reward strongly favors FB.
4. Two Vennie girls who I originally met in Bogota Santa Fe in 2019 are now working in Centro Medellin. I re-sessioned with one of them. She tells me the word is already out that there's an influx of foreigners in Medellin and the pay there is superior to Santa Fe. And added to the better climate in Medellin, there are strong incentives to move their services here.[/QUOTE]Unfortunately what you have observed is what I and others have seen happening in Centro over the past several months. It's disheartening for sure, especially for the guys who have been coming to Medellin for years and seeing the changes taking place.
However as far as SW's in Centro rejecting offers that are less than 50 K lower than FB girls, well I'm grappling with that one.
I have no experience with Fayboo girls, but have read the going range is in the neighborhood of 150 K-200 K maybe more. So I'm going to have to assume that your asking the girls who have rejected your offers to spend a couple of hours with you, versus no more than an hour?
Also, even with the onslaught of the foreigners, the locals which are the primary client base for the SW's in Centro, aren't going to be paying what the foreigners are paying.
What I have noticed, and have posted about before, is what I call the SW's who I call "gringo hunters", those who specifically look for gringos / foreigners who will pay more. I suspect these have to be some of the girls you have encountered.
Sounds like your a Fayboo guy, which many guys here are, and I can see where your coming from not wanting to mess with the Centro SW's over 50 K.

[QUOTE=FlagRunner77;2620788]So, I had to delay my upcoming trip. I had booked 8 nights at Hotel M (La Mansion). I paid a deposit of 2 nights per the website and I expected to lose this as I had to cancel within 72 hours. But they have now sent me a message saying that I have to pay for the full 8 nights.
I feel like I'm being scammed here. There are not terms on their website other than you lose the deposit if you cancel within 72 hours of your visit.
Am I missing something? It's a shame if a monger-oriented establishment is scamming.[/QUOTE]I wouldn't expect that they are scamming you. I would check the refund conditions. It seems likely they require payment in full if you cancel within 72 hours of your stay.
I had the same issue with an apartment I rented last trip. I needed to cancel 2 hotel rooms and 1 apartment. The first hotel room cancellation was no problem. The second one Booking said I would have to pay 100%, but I hadn't paid anything and heard nothing from the hotel. The apartment I had paid half up front and I expected I would lose that. However, on the day when I was supposed to check in, they messaged me to arrange pickup of the keys and payment of the remainder.
That was the deciding factor to go ahead with my trip, starting 3 days late. Had a girl I know and trust take the money over and get the keys and I got my original flight moved to a new day.
My suggestion, instead of jumping on the scam bus, is to talk to them and explain your situation. They might let it slide if they believe you're going to stay in the future. Worst case, you're in the same situation you're in right now.
If they require payment in full, when cancelling within 72 hours, there's a reason for it. They are usually booked full at least 2 weeks out. Empty rooms generate no revenue. Trying to find someone, when most of their customers know to book weeks in advance is difficult. For that type of establishment cancellation rate is pretty high.
The reason I say it's pretty high is because they attract 2 types of customers, the repeat customers and the new mongers, or new to Colombia mongers. And the new guys often get cold feet, or get talked out of the trip.
What Fun Luvr said about being double charged with taxes, that would be a scam. Unless you stay beyond 90 days, there's no tax for foreigners. That's one reason why they need to keep a copy of your passport, so they don't have to pay the tax.

I asked the dood acting like he was the head dickhead in charge (in his FBI windbreaker) why they are busting us?
He said we are looking for traffickers!
Its about destroying the demand side!
What can they do to putas?
They can fuck your life up way more!
Just put your name and mugshot on the local news!

[QUOTE=Elvis2008;2620826]...Knowledge, I am not so sure about this one....[/QUOTE]It happened many years ago to a coworker. What I remember was that the fine was for each item, multiply the number of items to calculate the total fine.

I stand corrected
[QUOTE=Nounce;2621010]This is what he said.[/QUOTE]Your correct, I missed this as well as he wanted to take them to his apartment, versus at a love motel and this now makes perfect sense.
Taking a SW out of El Centro is kinda like taking a fish out of water.
It's typically not something they have done before, and when you factor in the time involved, and their fear of going with a stranger, it makes more sense as to the pricing he was quoted, and my conjecture that it was for a few hours of time versus a rato was correct, albeit not in Centro.

"It is illegal to purchase counterfeit goods. Bringing them into the United States may result in civil or criminal penalties and purchasing counterfeit goods often supports criminal activities, such as forced labor or human trafficking."

If you are in violation of any Customs regulations then they will let you know on the spot or through the postal service and usually with a fine attached and/or making you pay duty for the items you have in excess. They will not just keep it secret and say you fucked up but we are not going to tell you how.

[QUOTE=FlagRunner77;2620812]Thanks, I'm holding my ground anyway, but good to know I'm not over-reacting. It's a shame because I'm planning a January trip instead but now I'll be going elsewhere. And I won't be recommending to others.[/QUOTE]Explain your situation, and ask if you can get credit for a future stay. I know many hotels have clauses around refunds, like for Airbnb's there are several diff versions.

Free cancellation until 24 hours before check-in (time shown in the confirmation email).
After that, cancel before check-in and get a full refund, minus the first night and service fee.
Moderate.
Free cancellation until 5 days before check-in (time shown in the confirmation email).
After that, cancel before check-in and get a 50% refund, minus the first night and service fee.
Strict.
Free cancellation for 48 hours, as long as the guest cancels at least 14 days before check-in (time shown in the confirmation email).
After that, guests can cancel up to 7 days before check-in and get a 50% refund of the nightly rate, and the cleaning fee, but not the service fee.
Super Strict 60 Days.
Guests can cancel at least 60 days before check-in and get a 50% refund of the nightly rate and the cleaning fee, but not the service fee.
The Airbnb service fee is not refundable.
This policy is only available to software-connected hosts.

[QUOTE=Surfer500;2620710]Perhaps what some members may not be aware of is that you have to be basically squeaky clean to get Global Entry. I have had it for several years, however I initially never applied for it because I had SENTRI, and those with SENTRI are automatically given Global Entry as qualifying for it is more stringent than Global Entry.[/QUOTE]Speaking of SENTRI, I will be going to Tijuana later this month. Planning on hitting up the HK club as my research shows they have the hottest talent. Any tips I should know about for Tijuana mongering? $100 usd for 30 min is pretty steep LOL.
Planning to park at the border and walk across then taxi to the clubs. It's a business trip, so my hotel is booked in San Diego. I'm assuming it's not as dangerous as El Centro in MDE, and I shouldn't have any issue crossing back into SD at 1-2 AM?

The beauty of the place is that if you get a dud, and can't blow loads every couple of hours, is to just end the session without nutting.
Pay what you agreed to, and grab another one. Maybe your budget won't allow this, but mine does, and I have done this on occasion, and not because the girl was a bad actor of sorts, but it just wasn't working for me.
The best time to be there is from between 4 PM to 6 PM.
Also, the better providers are going to be the older ones, not the barely legal aged ones. Lots of guys like the legally aged young ones 18, but I rarely hear of guys actually having good experiences with them. Nice to look at with a nice body but not much more.
Hopefully your next experience will be better.

Massages
Any place that is best for massage with super hot women in Medellin? Day one was good, going to write up the report over dinner later. P.S. Parque Lleras is not dead, last night was dope.
