It's still not answering my question as to why people use him in the first place?

[Rindaloo]

Especially as that area has plenty of other places that will do exchanges.

I can only speak for myself but - It's handy to where we live. Often a slightly better rate than the office / banks up the road. No queues. And I ask him the rate first and count it back in front of him so have never been conned.

[laffa]

He is a shyster, he advertises a certain rate and when you confirm the amount it should be he says its for credit cards and the cash amount is always less,its simple really, if in doubt dont use him, end of,

[Scunner]

And I bet he shafts those who are unfortunate enough to use credit cards.

We have to ask ourselves a question here... If this guy can offer better rates than the Banks/Exchange Offices how does he make any money?  Simple, he gives some people a good rate and cons the rest, and who knows what the percentages are, but they must be really good for him.  We used him about 3 times, we were not conned, however, after reading about him on this forum we would never use him again, as we know he is conning people.  But as long as members of this website know he is defrauding us Brits, and they still use him, he will still be laughing up his sleeve and his sleazy business will continue.  Time for us to stick together and get rid of him.

Hi Jukebox.
In answer to your question as to why people use him for currency exchange, not so far answered in this topic, I would hazard a guess.
1. People who have used him were satisfied with the exchange rate they got from him, or did not do their sums so did not realise they may have been ripped - off.  Or
2. Not every visitor to Fethiye wishing to change money has read the comments on this site or even been aware of the dangers  of using a money exchange backed by a legally accountable organisation.

I don`t think that is correct.

I think it makes perfect sense, as the opposite of the correct point
