Can we get a photo of this place please? At least then others might see it and avoid it like the plague...

It's been notorious ever since it opened in the new complex.

Maybe they need setting up with some marked notes or serial numbers photographed and logged?

The sad thing is that this place is really busy during the summer given it's location.  Of the four times that we have used this place over the last three years they have conned us twice (even though we were watching out for this) and tried to do it once.  Drunken tourists must be like lambs to the slaughter for them.

Why did you return 3 more times after they conned you?

I have used this place once during the first year it opened, they tried to con me out of either 20tl or £20 I cant remember which but I counted all the money in front of him and he coughed up.
I have never been back to the place since not even to see if they try and con me again. ;)

Yes - I was definitely a bit of a dope. The first time I was short changed so second time I was short of money I asked for an abvious amount £100 and a receipt (they tend to not give these) and all was ok. On the final visit I repeated the above and they counted out in front of me but upon checking later that night I found my bundle of notes was 20 Lira short. They are good at palming notes as well it seems.
