Time for a photograph of him, like the one of the other con man down by the market.
If we could put an image of him on CBF it would be a warning to new members.

My favourite of his many cons, scams and distractions is his "ten" con. When his exchange rate ends in a 9 (which is far more often than it ending in any other number in his emporium) he is Mr Generosity himself...

"Rate is 2.39, I will give you better, two point three TEN!"

Or as it's better known, 2.310 :D

I had the opportunity to photograph him the other day but of course I didn't have my camera - typical. I'm gonna do my best to snap him and post his photo here.

I used to come into Fethiye especially to change my money with him many many years ago when I was young and niaive :(

Kevin isn't the first and he won't be the last sadly. If he doesn't get you with his "ten" con there are several others to follow up with.

Where Kevin scores in my book is claiming he had no problem, then reading my con description and owning up. I think I'd have kept quiet Kev, full marks to you for your honesty :D

You "live and learn" and you are "never too late to learn" comes to mind. This thread clearly shows the value of the forum and the very experienced helpful people who post in a non judgemental way!

I cannot wait for the picture of him to be posted, I am out in 2 or 3 weeks time again and will see if I can get him in the frame ... payback time and all that!
