SCAM ALERT:
So to follow up this post, I got a seemingly good offer on an insurance from Gisela@Speiser Seguros in Buenos Aires in Argentina. She told me to go to a Western Union and transfer money to her account to pay for the insurance. Which I btw thought was a little odd, wouldnt it be better just to send me an invoice or to transfer directly to he account?
Anyway I did what I was told, went to a Western Union office and spent half a day there tryin to get the staff there to understand what I wanted. In the end after adding up all the fees Western Union the amount quickly rised a good steep bit. Anyhow I thought my insurance was secured and after a few days I mailed Gisela and asked if she had recived the wired money, and if my insurance was valid, if it needed to be printed or a e-mail would be valid? She answered me and said no, she wasnt able to recive the money I had sent through Western Union, her preferred way to transfer money. She then asked me to transfer money directly to her account. Well this smelled not good anymore, so I checked the money transfer I had done with Western Union which you can do online, and for sure the money was already collected!
I then emailed her back and said no I cannot transfer more money to you and the money I transferred using Western Union is already collected - so please dont give me more nonsense. Since then I havent heard from her.
So I hereby warn everybody and ask people to tbink twice about using this persons socalled insurance offers and services. I certainly paid mire than 200 USD for absolutely nothing...
