Changing Currency Warning
Just returned from Bulgaria and even with the greatest knowledge was ripped for £20 at a Golden sands beach currency changer. Got desperate to get £100 changed to get gifts and went to one that apparenly was offering 2.84. After they took cash and asked my wife to sign ... silly I know ... they gave her 2.29 and said the 2.84 was "selling price". Please make sure before you hand over cash that its the rate for "buying".
I decided to take a photo of the place which is on The beach promenade just in from far left of Golden sands. I tried to take cashiers photo, but after 1 minute I was approached by a by a bulgarian thug who said "NO CAMERA" and "not my problem" and left in no doubt , ( gun inside his shorts ) to leave.
Have Picture ... if anyone wants it please email as I don't want anyone else to get street mugged as we did.
RE: Changing Currency Warning
Are there no ATM's in Golden Sands???
RE: Changing Currency Warning
u know there are two rates indeed..buy and sell; its always been like that; also some places have "comission"/komisionna, that is you pay them fee for the service, these are the worst.
personally i always exchange in bank or use the ATMs
eyes wide open!
