Fee for Painting my casa?


Recommended Posts

I am in the process of repainting my house and walls.  NO construction whatsoever.  But for the past 3 days an "official" has been demanding 1500 pesoes for merely improving my property and barrio. Right around the corner, construction has been going on, with obvious dirt and bricks in the calle, but he has not rung their bell.

is There a new law or is this dude just an opportunist?  Suggestions?  Gracias.

Ask for his government ID. Take a photo of what he shows you. Take a photo of him. Ask for the name of his supervisor at the City. Tell him you will go to the City and talk with them about this. Wave goodbye as he walks away.

Back again today!  My painter talked to him again..he had some kind of photocopy that just had items with prices.  I'm sure he printed it off himself.  Annywaay long story short..you can either paint for money or I'll give you 200 pesos to vamose.  He took it, but if he does come back I will do as Xena suggested.

 

gracias all!

Probably a scam, take his photo, call the police to take him away for impersonating a public official.
