just talked to a couple of people who claim to have been short changed by 100tl at the change office on Calis main St. Check your money before you leave the premises. Apparently he counts it out very fast but when challenged he admits a mistake straight away. Just saying.

In New Member Introductions, Buddy...
-
We Changed money there last week, with no problem, but always best to count it back yourself. They do give you receipt.
We spoke to the Manager/owner Alper, who told us his wife is from Gourock in Scotland.
I know Alper is a member here so, hopefully he will come along and make a comment.
-
We always use this place to change our money.never had a problem :)
-
Same here
-
We use it regularly without any problems.
-
I've never used it but I'd still count my money before I left. Same as I do in an monetary transaction, anywhere.
-
Never had any problems but never been offered a receipt!
-
Agree with marillis, never a problem with them, but never a receipt either.
-
Best to ask for a receipt. If you do, you will get one, we always ask in Fethiye. However, the Cails Office just gave us a receipt without us asking.
-
Always use and never had a problem
-
Used tonight 4.60 TL. No problem, if you show them your regulars card you get an extra 5 TL.
I wonder sometimes about these reports. They are not from the person or people who the incident happened to, but from people who say they spoke to people, so rumours really.
-
We used it 3 times in July, got a receipt and counted the money before we left, and had good exchange rate .
-
I cant beleave this ive changed lots of monies here never had a problem and he always runs the monies through a cash counting machine first.I changed over £3,000.00 there last year to pay for some works on my villa,never,ever,a problem.
-
Well I know people who have never had a problem with MR Fiddler the change man in Fethiye,
and I know people who have?
-
Never offered a receipt & never seen one offered/given out & always count back my monies when changing, freind who was out with us in July was short changed but challenged & got the full amount.
-
I have used this change office many times, and to my knowledge have never been short changed, but I have posted this as information, not accusation.
One of the people is a friend of mine, he thought that something was wrong as it was being counted so he counted it again while someone else was being served and found it 100tl short, he challenged the man and was immediately given another 100tl. Later that day we met up with another friend who said that when he got home he found his 100tl short. As I said, best to check it before you leave the premises.
-
Good advise Buddy. I told Phil about this and he did check when we changed money again. Always worth checking wherever you change your money. I remember once on CBF someone saying a Bank in Fethiye had short changed them.
-
Have used this office many times but never heard or seen a regulars card, how do you obtain one please?
-
For the record.
Have changed money twice so far both times at Zumrut.
First occasion, we were quoted 4.59 when advertised rate at Change Shop was 4.57.
Second occasion, same day that Jacqui changed at 4.60 (as advertised on the board) at the Change Shop we changed at Zumrut at 4.62 at Zumrut.
So a first time visitor to Calis would have been better off using the "illegal" outlet on both occasion.
Just saying :)
-
Apologies for repetition at end of last post.
Purely caused by g&t repetition :)
-
Just ask for a card Rusty. It can also be used for discounts at some shops and restaurants. Our friends got 10% off in Brothers with it this evening.
-
The card looks like a plastic credit card. They offer them to regulars, so, as Stoop says, just asked for one.
On the counter is a little basket full of booklets containing money off vouchers for local restaurants, etc., just take one of them too.
