Withdrawing cash from Portuguese ATMs
They have fitted a new ATM in our village.
When I use my UK Card, it puts up a message, offering me a guaranteed conversion rate..With a friendly Union Jack alongside.
When I press the Reject rate button ,it repeats the warning that this rate is not guaranteed..
The difference between the 2 rates, is currently 11%..
A Euro costs me 88.7 pence .
Their guaranteed rate would charge 99.7 pence.
How many tourists are falling for this scam..?
Don't be one of them..!
It's not where you live... It's HOW you live..
