I went to the local police station today and didn't have to wait long for someone to assist me. After making a photocopy of my DNI card and bank account statement, the officer asked a few questions for the report she would prepare on the computer. I sat at the desk for about an hour while she...

I called the 800 phone number for Banco Ciudad. I will receive a new debit card in ten days. Instead of managing the reclamo by calling the 0800 again, I went to the bank this morning to have the bank employee who has helped me with other problems take charge of the reclamo. All I had to...

Now I remember my state of mind when encountering the Facebook scam. The first time I thought, "this is too good to be true." The second time I thought, "today is my birthday, why not?" I buy all my clothing second-hand.

I was thrilled when I found enough cash in my wallet to pay for my organic food order tomorrow. If my order is delivered early, I will be able to get to the bank and see what they can do about the transactions if they were processed. Thanks for the comments. I have managed to avoid scams...

I shared the situation with a friend who told me to TEMPORARY BLOCK use of my debit card to prevent the withdrawal transactions. It was a simple process online that I had never used and didn't know existed.

A few days ago, a Facebook post by the clothing store Zara caught my attention. I ignored it the first time I saw it, but when it appeared again on my tablet, I decided to take them up on their offer for a "mystery box of clothes" at a very low price. As soon as I checked my bank account, I...

I regret changing incandescent bulbs for LEDs. The city streets are lit with LEDs that do their damage. I found a lighting shop that has a small supply of incandescent bulbs. My last purchase was a 15 watt green incandescent lamp that is so easy on the eyes. I use it in the bedroom. I no...

The Salsa band at the plaza drew a crowd and got people dancing. I had no idea why there were so many people walking along Rivadavia, but the music got my attention.

I accompanied my British tango friend to migraciones this morning. The man at the entrance (Carlos) said "he has to return on Monday." My friend calculated exactly ten days before the date of expiration of his tourist visa to be today, so there was a discussion. Finally, he was allowed to...

I consulted the list of immigration fees without finding one for extending a tourist visa for 90 days. I will accompany my friend tomorrow for the process. We hope he has enough cash to pay for fee. https://www.argentina.gob.ar/interior/migraciones/cuadro-tasas-migratorias

What is the fee for an extension today? A friend wants to request one this week.
