Blue dollar exchange in Recoleta

It is said that thiefs pay attention to the people who go into these places and they get robbed after they leave.
The very large majority of people using these change houses do not get robbed or otherwise harmed. I have been using a cueva on Lavalle for years without incident.
 
Do the money changers on Florida rob people?

Some years ago 2 American tourists followed and Arbolito Changer into a protected cueva. While inside changing their dollars 2 armed muggers broke in at gunpoint robbed the place and the tourists. One of the tourists resisted and was shot in the butt..! He survived.
