Why dig yourself a bigger hole? you've been busted, caught out and exposed as a fraud, now you insult our intelligence with some of the most ridiculous excuses i've heard.
By trying to deceive the most gullible or the inexperienced tourists that frequent these groups in the hope of getting some HONEST and GOOD advice from those of us that are willing to share our knowledge based on our personal experiences,...is a negative if trying to promote Bali as a tourist destination.
You insult the intelligence of those on this group that know Bali well,... regardless of how good your so-called driver "andre" is and it matters little if you and "andre" are the same person and you're here promoting yourself.
The fact remains your purpose on the forum is for financial gain and you're using deception to achieve it.
Yes, a good driver can make very good money and the way he does it is by commissions paid by business people that own galleries, shops and restaurants, as it has been pointed out these commissions can be as high as 35%,....some tourist maybe prepared to accept that others aren't.!
Your offering advice for the purpose of personal gain, by either promoting yourself or being paid by "andre" to promote him.,.. and from the advice your giving you're deliberately misleading potential tourists into thinking this driver will insure they don't get ripped off and any commission would be very low.
ALL OF WHICH IS CRAP! I know it you know it "andre" knows it and some of the more experienced on this forum know it!
First rule when going to Bali,.. remember nobody does anything for nothing.
