Good on you Nomadmac and thankyou for the posting this warning.
Agree with the potential for violence, especially after hearing a similar story from a Japanese girl who was cheated out of her money in a card scam in Manilla.
She remembered where the house was and returned the following day to find that none of the 'supposed' friendly family she played cards with, actually lived there.
When she reported the incident to the police, one of them was so concerned for her safety (particularly as she had returned to the house), that he took her aside and told that the gang would be looking for her. The policeman then sent her to stay with his daughter in the country-side.
