On Avenida Torreblanca, near to Dialaprix, a black Seat hatchback, three occupants ,one male two female, asked me where the clinic was! They were checking me out, I told them to go away( but not politely) they followed me, driving the wrong way,down a one way street, to no avail,

I walked up to Dialaprix,where they were attempting to scam an elderly  gentleman, I walked back to where they were, they saw me, the car sped of, leaving a female behind, who was most annoyed, the gentleman,with dog carried on his way.

The remaining female, was not very happy,as I stayed there untill the man had got away, she the to old me to F off,

When came out if Dialaprix,they had left.

Hi Openthedoor,

Thank you for warning us.  Your experience sounds alarming, but good for you for standing your ground, it sounds like you saved the elderly gentleman from a hugger mugger too.

Take care,

Kim

Hi Kim,

Thanks for your comment,

After getting home and thinking back ,

Very smartly dressed,very clean looking.

Hello Babs,

Thank you for your comment,

May I respectfully suggest you walk on the opposite side to the flow of traffic,so as that they are unable to pull up beside you.

We wish you all the very best for the coming festive season.

Stay safe.

Ian and Sue
