A senior expat killed in Grecia

6 years ago

I wish all the senior expats would have enough discernment to realize that if a much younger woman seems to be interested in you it's not about your looks but about your money.
One more victim and this time in Grecia.
I've mentioned here before how an American expat here who is 77 years old has a girlfriend who is 22 years old. He ends up giving her most of his pension every month.
She is pressuring him to marry her because she wants to keep his condo.
There has been so many identical cases here and so many murders.
Please gentleman, if a much younger lady who is young enough to be your granddaughter approaches you, do you truly believe that is because of your good looks?-Awake up before it's too late.
You can read the article in Costa Rica Star News.
Also: LindyLuvs CR often says that in the beach areas there is more crime. Really?- For what I see crime happens everywhere.
In fact I think that things are pretty good here even though I know of 2 people who had their stuff stolen at the beach. One of them ( a Canadian) left his shorts unattended with $US 15.000.00 in his pockets.
Who does that?
The guy who got killed here couple of years ago was due to an argument with a pirate taxi driver where apparently he kicked the car.
Later a group of people showed up in the local bars looking for him.
He was warned but he decided to stay. Unfortunately they killed him.
Just one more thing: this same gentleman who has the 22 year old girlfriend was in the pool one day when a local lady (no idea how she got into the property) asked him if she could get his key because she needed to go to the washroom.
He told her there were public washrooms by the laundry room.
Her reply?-"I don't like to use public washrooms".
So he gave her his key.
Later when he got back to his condo, his big Plasma TV was gone.
He believes she had an accomplice.
When he asked the guard why he didn't stop her, he replied that he thought it was a gift.
I feel sorry for those who live alone and who become more vulnerable to this type of situation and I would be happy if my post would cause someone to awake up to this very sad reality.
I think most people know about other cases (on TV) where the girlfriends ended up killing the old guy they were exploiting.
