Lira

[Bluwise]

He tries to confuse people by asking if they have 5 lira.  If the rate was, say 3.9.  He would offer you 3.0.10 So you think you are getting 3.10.

And this is exactly how his scam works -
He creates confusion so some are led to believe that 3.10 is a better rate than 3.9.   By saying "three point ten" instead of 3.1
Simple but effective.

Thanks Susie, that's great.  I have saved a copy of this picture and it would be a good idea if other members do too, so they can, if needed show it to new visitor's to the area.

I've just been checking our Tescos credit card and we are getting 3.59 lira exchange rate.     It would be interesting to know what the exchange rate is like on the other cards?
