[QUOTE="CaptBuddy, post: 247176, member: 15462"] On the way out of Logroño a couple of days ago, we were approached by a man who was walking toward Logroño. He claimed to be a long distance pilgrim, with a quick but elaborate story about his travels. He said his credit card had been destroyed in an ATM, and he was being required to walk back to Madrid to his embassy (German) to get a replacement card. Said he only had 6 euros in his pocket. He was well groomed and outfitted like a pilgrim. I was suspicious of him and his story, so bid him good luck and we walked on. It was a remote section, but he did not follow or bother us again. Over the past days, I have asked others about seeing him and several people have shared similar encounters, all with the same elaborate story and even report seeing the broken credit card. He was even seen in Logroño talking with several groups in a couple of different languages. He never asked anyone for money, and did not threaten anyone. But this seems to be a scam of some sort, folks I spoke with agree. I don't think it is cause for alarm. I don't think he is dangerous. I may alert the police today. Be careful. [/QUOTE]
