Unfortunately, I didn’t see this story until we got back to the hotel. Now short $13 and laughing at stories we are reading about the same guy running this scam. I’m sharing a picture someone posted on here from last year. It’s the same guy but now he’s wearing a mask. Pay attention to the preamble of “hey do you speak English?”and the big ears. You can’t miss it. Good luck folks and don’t get scammed like us. I know this is replying to an old post, but this guy is in his 50's at least, the "dad" would have to be well into his 70's..maybe he needs to drop poor ol' dad out of his story going forward.

staham Posted July 19, 2022 #302 Share Posted July 19, 2022 He is definitely still at it. He approached us in Old San Juan, near the port, on 7/13/22 and needed $8 for his dad's transportation from the hospital back to the dock, where they were catching a boat. His dad had been pistol whipped and had to get 7 stitches. He even said that they thought his arm was broken and pointed at a lump on his wrist. I noticed in pictures posted in earlier posts that he does has a lump on his wrist in all. Honestly, I would have fallen for his story but my husband did not. I agree with what a lot of people have said, this is common around ports and in bigger cities. We loved OSJ and felt safe the entire time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't worry, I speak Spanish, let me find a cop!" and then start looking around for one lol 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sealeggs Posted February 21 #308 Share Posted February 21 That is him. We had an encounter with him the last time we sailed out of San Juan. He approached us by El Morro Fort and before he could start I asked him how his father was doing and he turned around and left us alone. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
