Hi, I'm new to Benidorm, busy starting up a pub/restaurant and hope to open some time in March in the Rincon area close to the beach, where I'm sitting now. Sad to see a group of 7 people conning people out of there money, in broad daylight, right on the beach walkway and in front of everyone to see.... Be careful... Just to let you know.
And by the way, regards to Anahi..

How are they conning people, is it the old cup trick.

Very helpful member
A lot of the people ‘winning’ are part of the con. I video them, they do get upset 🤣.
Yes, they operate with some of their "team" posing as ordinary people who are winning, it is part of the scam to draw unsuspecting people in and they then proceed to fleece them.
Unfortunately they have yet to discover a cure for gullibility and stupidity!

Don't start annoying those people as they can get quite violent if they think you are stopping them doing their "Trade"
They are commonly known as the "Pea men"

Yes! I think if they were video'd, then that video should be handed over to the local police /guards because it looked like the guards are on the lookout for them.

Agree above. The word. "Guilible" Does not exist in the word in the dicionary. V
