Well, think about it. Someone recently joined the board. This person is going to give information about where someone can take a quantity of US Dollars to change for pesos.
I mean absolutely nothing personal to Mr. Green. He could be a perfectly honest, up-front guy. But he's a nearly completely unknown quantity.
Anything could happen. I don't even really need to detail the various things. People get robbed by these kinds of things all the time.
I know personally someone who was robbed by an associate of the secretary at a cueva, who called her associate after my friend left the office, the associate followed my friend from the cueva to his house (he was in his Eco Sport) and robbed him when he stepped out of his truck. The thief reached directly into my friend's pocket where he had put the money (a couple tens of thousands of pesos) in the last cueva he visited, and they didn't even demand more, nor check his other pocket where another similarly large sum of pesos sat from a visit to a previous cueva.
If Mr Green has just a location to share, might be perfectly OK. Might be. But if it's known, public (not someone's private residence for example) and safe, why not post it in public?
We are just suggesting that the person be careful taking advice of this sort from an unknown person on the board. Particularly if that person says something in a PM like "I don't know the location exactly, only been there once and I'm somewhat new to the city. I need to change some moeny too - why don't we meet and I can show you where it is, and maybe we can get a cup of coffee afterward."
People who post a lot are pretty well known, at least as to their general character and way of thinking about things, even if someone hasn't met them in public previously. It is still a risk, but at least a risk made knowing that it's not someone who has specifically been seeking targets to rob.
Again, not that Mr Green is that kind of person. No offense, not at all trying to cast dispersions upon your person in any way Mr Green.
