There is a guy in Cali, right now who is running a scam off his website. The
website address is: http://www.agency-colombia.com.
The guys name is Markus Hurlimann. He is from Switzerland.
His website offers rooms at a lovely place for only $15 a night. Plus, he
wants you to send a deposit before you come. Here is what he offers: Stay in
our villa and have your own private room with double-bed, cupboard, closet,
table, chair, alarm-clock, private bathroom with hot shower and toilet and
much more. Fresh towels and bed sheets are changed daily or at your
convenience. You may also use our Internet facilities and check your emails
at no costs. Our TV has cable with hundreds of channels in various languages
(CNN, CNBC, HBO, and so on). We provide 24 hours security service in our
villa
We'll folks, this place does not exist. The house, by his own admission, is
in Cuba. And, the address and phone number in the Contact Us section is My
Latin Women's. Norman, the owner of My Latin Women, had no knowledge of
this. This guy has no agency or house. Also, there is a guy staying at My
Latin Women who bought into this and was promised the World by Marcus.
Marcus asked Norm if he could pick up this German guy who was coming in,
becasue Marcus was travelling to Ecuador. Norm picked him up and it turned
out to be an American. The American was promised this great house with a
pool and with breakfast for only $10 a night. (You can take a look at the
website and see what he was promised. Although, he has changed his price to
$15 a night.) Marcus wasn't even here to meet the guy as he had promised to
do. Then the guy gets here and finds out that the wonderful place shown on
the website did not exist. Norman cut the guy a break and the told him that
Marcus would return in a few days. Yeah, he returned alright .When the
American questioned him about where the house was and where his $10 a night
room was, Marcus replied that he had to change houses. I caught that and
told Marcus to tell the American the truth. He did and told him that the
place did not exist and neither did the services advertised. But, he
promissed to make everything right with the American. I told him that he
should pay the American $150 that he owed him and to meet any girls he had
for free. He readily agreed to this. And, the next day, Marcus left. He did
not do one thing for the American who came here because of what Marcus
promised.
Just to clarify, even though Norman's address and phone number or on this
scammers site, he is not affiliated with him in anyway.
So, beware travelers and don't buy into Marcus'website.

Hi Jim,
He's still here and was looking for a $10 a night room to stay at. Anyone know where you can get a room for $10 a night in Cali? I can just imagine the neighborhood.  LOL!
Don't know what we're going to do with the guy. But, we'll find him and find out what his problem is.
Talk to you later,
Keith

You can get a private room at Dave's Hostal at Clle 17N #9AN-39 (tel:6612338) for $6. It's a nice house just off Av. Sexta and close to allcolombian girls and latin encounters. Owner's a young Brit.
