Several gifts were promised, for example free jeep hire which interested us. We visited this residence. At the hotel reception, a Balinese girl told us they were conducting a promotion because the hotel had been taken over by a new company. She asked whether we had 90 minutes to have a look.",

On Feb.<br>\n15 we got, on the road, a written invitation to visit a new<br>\nresidence, the Risata Club in Kuta. Several gifts were promised,<br>\nfor example free jeep hire which interested us.<\/p>\n<p>We visited this residence. At the hotel reception, a Balinese<br>\ngirl told us they were conducting a promotion because the hotel<br>\nhad been taken over by a new company. She asked whether we had 90<br>\nminutes to have a look. We said yes and a young British man was<br>\nintroduced to us. He involved us in a small conversation. Instead<br>\nof showing us the residence, he tried to sell us a contract for a<br>\nfictional holiday sharing system. We realized that a group of<br>\nEuropean hustlers abused the hotel facilities to do their dirty<br>\nbusiness.<\/p>\n<p>Even though we know this type of scam from Europe, the<br>\nfollowing facts astonished us:<\/p>\n<p>* A group of con artists use a not too small hotel complex as<br>\nif it were their own.<\/p>\n<p>* They invite a lot of tourists, show them the hotel, its<br>\nrooms, use the facilities, and the hotel management seems to<br>\ntolerate this activity. They have even installed a \"reception\" of<br>\ntheir own.<\/p>\n<p>In my opinion, such people put a shadow on the beautiful<br>\nisland of Bali. I would like to see that behavior stopped!<\/p>\n<p>HANS PETER MULLER<\/p>\n<p>Kuta, Bali<\/p>",
