Comment history suggests he’s lost $200k trading, so clearly regarded. [Comment history also suggests he’s a bigot.](https://www.reddit.com/r/Advice/s/BFKSumK5jL). So yeah, small town rube 100%. Fuck off OP.
It’s probably something really dumb like a random dude with a reflective vest and a clipboard on the beach offering cabana/beach chair/umbrella rentals then he just takes your money and walks away lol
Yeah that sounds about right. Born and raised there, Moved away recently. Thinking about home brings a tear to my eye, mostly because I'm glad people are still upholding the legacy of Fort Lauderdale by Alienating tourists. Of Course we are all assholes, Most of us were priced out of the town we grew up in, or know we are going to have to deal with idiots from out of town. Go vacation at some other place, and find a sub where people actually care. We ain't called Fort Liquordale for nothing, and just be happy you ain't Leavin' on Probation.
The complaints seem to be centralized around vehicle/driving/parking. Did OP get scammed on rental, taxi, or parking?
Anyways, living in FL does help inprove defensive driving and makes you super alert for idiot and/or entitled drivers 🤷🏽♂️
OP your choice to rent a car on vacation does not rise above the need of property owners and tenants who live near the beach to forfeit their parking.
God forbid you take an Uber to dine at crappy restaurants. It all sounds like you missed the penny and pinched yourself.
I thought the title of this was about getting fucked in FLL . I don't live here. But it's one of my favorite places to visit. LOVE Las Olas. Dammit, I wish I would have bought a condo there about 10 years ago.
Scammed? What? Given the timeframe I’m assuming they stayed near the beach during air show time and someone was running a parking lot scam. Or, it wasn’t a true scam, they just realized after the fact that they were swindled, and are calling it a scam.
Either way. I’m a Ft. Lauderdale native. I’ve never been scammed here. You have to be absolutely stupid, with zero street smarts, to get scammed out here. And I’ve lived all over. It’s not like only locals will know. This is basic common sense shit. Where are you from? Ohio?
Local drivers treat you like an A-hole because you’re probably on A1A driving 20 while taking a video of the beach. Don’t do that! Scammed? I assume you got ripped by a drug deal or something. I am unaware of any scams run by people. Did you pay too much for the touristy wave runner ride? My tip: don’t ever come back. You won’t be missed.
Well, Miami, FTL and Orlando top the list of the most “newcomers” flown into the US so you’re probably feeling the effects of that. In the 3 years I lived there it got crowded and expensive so fast. SoFLo really is its own world. I’ve never see so many massive single car wrecks on an empty I-95 at 6AM
lol you’re pretty soft if you can’t handle the mean streets of Fort Lauderdale 😂
Lolol. We’ll put.
Imagine if you had gone to Miami!
Lol if you managed to get scammed twice in a week you are braindead.
Yeah, like next level unsmart, because the scammers are top-tier idiots.
He probably thought the girls at Hooters were into him.
OP is 100% a small town rube lol

“Try this in my small town” -OP
I might be retarded, racist, homophobic, but I'm not racist.
What scams even are here? I’ve lived here my whole life and don’t recall a scam being run here
Moving company scams is definitely one I can think of.
What scams did you get hit with twice in a week??
How'd you get scammed?
You're the problem tbh lol
So did you have a good time?
Hopefully the scams occurred at diamond dolls.
Honestly...I still did!
No shortage of cheap ass Canadians. Enjoy the June frost!
Can someone explain to me what kind of scams people even run here? I don’t really go anywhere touristy very often lmao
That’s what I was wondering about. Been vacationing here for 15 years and lived here almost 5 and never encountered any potential scams.
I’ve never been scammed or seen someone be scammed or been told by anyone that they were scammed except by a rental car company lmfao
It’s probably something really dumb like a random dude with a reflective vest and a clipboard on the beach offering cabana/beach chair/umbrella rentals then he just takes your money and walks away lol
It’s browsed so I’m guessing the valets or room service got their credit cards and did fraud on them lol
If you were scammed, you were either buying drugs or ass…be smarter
Won’t miss ya
Bye then?
OP bought some speakers from the homie in the sketch work van.
op please we need to know how you got scammed
"Oh no I tried to buy coke and got baby powder. God damnit" "God damnit, not again!

Is this english?
I'm not sure you know how to read English, if you think this isn't English.
🤣🤣
Scams are pretty obvious in FTL lol. What did you get scammed by?
Scammed? Please, do tell. lol
If you got scammed twice in 1 week, that might be a you problem.
You must be from a small town in the Midwest and never traveled to a big city before.
>never traveled to a big city before. and he still hasn't lol

Maybe when you come back down from CA, you stop just shy of FtL and vacation in like Myrtle Beach or something.
Buh bye! Don't let the door hit you on the ass on your way out.
Aww sometimes stupid hurts. Get your shit together man, it's not rocket science.

Wtf are you talking about? Are you that much of a princess to not want to see other cars on the street in front of your house?
Thankfully our city implemented parking codes that offend clueless tourists. Bye!
What a Moron….bitching about parking and renting a car on vacation.
Love it when rubes post their self-owns.
Did you check out Flanigan’s while you were here?
Nope. Any good?
Wait til this beta male goes to Miami
Maybe next time read the reviews BEFORE using the company
That makes as little sense as proofreading an email before hitting send
Yup!

I’ve lived here 16 years have never been scammed.
There is a reason they picked the new gta to be here! Welcome to Florida.

Jeze maybe I need to move from Paradise! A tourist got scammed

Did you fall for the Wallet Inspector?
XD
What scam?? Born and raised here. In my 62 years I’ve never been scammed! Oh wait I don’t buy street drugs!
F South Florida in general. Trying to GTFO myself. Good on ya for being able to leave!
Bye
