Named and Shamed, Costa Blanca, Spain
Legendary helpful member
Hi,
I've recently joined the Facebook group, "Named and Shamed" for Costa Blanca.
The administrator, Bruce Dowding, accepts requests to join this closed group with the following advice:
"This is where you can Name and Shame the scammers, rip-off merchants, liars, cheats and thieves that infect the Costa Blanca, as a warning so that other honest people don't become their next victims.
"Remember that YOU ARE LEGALLY RESPONSIBLE for anything you say or write in ANY public domain, and that includes any posts you publish in this group (or indeed anywhere else on facebook or elsewhere on the internet). BUT there is ONLY a potential libel against anyone else if what you state in any public domain about them IS NOT TRUE, and that libel causes them financial harm. There is NO libel so long as what you state IS TRUE. So keep it absolutely factual, as detailed and clear as you can, without insults or bad language, and with supporting photos/evidence wherever possible.
"You can search all previous reports for any specific individuals/Company names by typing them into the group Search facility (the Search box or magnifying glass symbol at the top of the page)."
I understand the Costa Blanca Forum administrators' reluctance to allow posts that may negatively affect bona-fide businesses, so I thought it worth posting the details of this FB group for anyone who has a genuine reason for complaint, but also in the hope that it may be a preventative measure for others. There's been a recent post on this forum from a member with a half-finished Ikea kitchen, who may have benefited from belonging to this FB group.
Kind regards,
Kim
