Scam
A friend of a friend had a guy at his door yesterday stating that he was locked out, the locksmith needed 40 euros, he couldn't get into his house to get his wallet as he was locked out, so could he borrow 40 euros for 5 minutes until the locksmith opened the property and then he could get the wallet and bring the money straight back. yes, you guessed it, he never did return!!! so, just posting this in case this guy tries anywhere else locally!
Does nobody read the local papers? This scam has been posted for the last six years that I know off. He usually goes around Torrevieja though so is a bit further afield, probably because people keep paying him!!
