A fellow who used to work for my husband gave a travelex card to a "driver" to help pay for things.......when this "driver" needs money he sends a text through. We think its dodgy, but the bloke who used to work for my husband says its all above board. To try and prove to us it was fine he asked his driver friend to pick us up at the airport. When he eventually arrived we were given the sad sad story of his wife being sick etc etc. When we arrived at the hotel in Legian, the driver told us the fare was 500,000 rp! We knew it wasnt as we had checked out the taxi board at the airport. We negotiated from there for a much cheaper fare. But still this fellow kept on about the sick wife etc etc. Then we got annoying texts for the rest of ur holiday telling us how sick the wife was and the final straw was the text saying that he needed $200AUD for the wifes medicine or he thout she would die! My husband rang "driver" and said no more....
The idiot that used to work for us still sends around $500AUD per month via the Travelex card.
