Lira

3.56 in M&S today, so got some!

I agree the guy across road from Migros, fell for that once years ago, never again. His picture is actually on the forum somewhere!

Hi Keven,

What's his scam then? I've never been tempted but it's nice to know what he's up to.

He makes it look as if you are getting a great price by adding lots of digits after the lira, I have been looking on the forum to find his picture and more details of how he constructs his scam but I am unable to locate it. He wears glasses, he is a small chap, and has a clothes shop directly opposite the Migros on the front in Fethyie. Not sure if many would fit that description though!

Look under change man on search. Top left hand corner

Not in the clothes shop any more has moved a few doors along and is operating from an emlak office,   Surely it's not his new venture,  the mind boggles !!!

When he scammed us a few years ago he was adding it all up on his calculator and said something like 'shall I round it up' and we said yes as, at first, it sounded like he was doing us a favour! It was a couple of hours later that OH said 'Why did he have to round it up?' So after doing our own calculations realised we'd been done! 

It wasn't for much, but I don't like the idea that someone like this slimeball has been doing this for so long and probably still gets away with it on people who are new to Fethiye and not had the luxury of being warned about him on here.

We walked past him last year and he asked if we wanted any change - I'm afraid my response is unprintable!!

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.

I have had conversations with several different people who say he didn't rip them off, then as I describe some of his many tricks they realise, there and then, that he did.

Do you still have that picture of him Scunner?  might be good to let new members see him, just before the season starts.

I do, I'm phone only right now but will dig his charming face so all are aware. His nephew contacted me last year (his English is better than his uncle) telling me to remove all references and images of his uncle or be taken to court.  I await that invitation
