Preventing or avoiding Costa Rica scams
Playa Samara
Often I am asked what should I do in preventing or avoiding scams in Costa Rica. Some are easily avoided or prevented when you are armed with the right information. Before you go, let us review your itinerary and give you feedback on what we know. Our feedback is free and we do not have any affiliations with what we evaluate. Everything from car rentals to food. We have lived here for the past 15 years and have become very familiar with Costa Rica.
Although our background is law and investigations, it has broadened our knowledge base on all types of scams and frauds. I feel if we can help anyone coming here from falling victim to a scam or fraud, they will want to come back. As you will learn some scams are not deliberate while others are as deliberate as they come.
What you can do will go a long way in avoiding scams
Select a convenient time to call us at 321-218-9209 and I will take time to share with what I know about your planned destination. The telephone is a VOIP and will transfer you to me in Costa Rica with no charge to you. If there are things that I know that have a potential to impact your trip I will tell you.
I wish I had someone that I could have talked with me when I first came here, it would have saved me thousands of dollars as well as heartaches. Visitors who come rely on the experiences and knowledge from their country origin. I am here to tell you that that is the first thing you need to forget. Costa Rica culture has been doing things they want to do for over a hundred years and are not interested in “the way we do it back home”.
I have gone from tourist to resident to citizen here so, I have an enlightened perspective on the things to avoid and how to prevent them. The little time you take to speak with me will well worth your time.
