This story is getting weird. I can sympathize with your situation and frustration. And though I personally wouldn't do it, I can even understand why you would post on BAExpats if you were truly unsure of what to do.
But with your last post, you are just dragging your (and her) dirty laundry out in the street. Do we really need a play-by-play of your threats, plan of action, etc?
Neither of you seem like anyone I would want to have any interaction with.
I hear you, and was unsure if this was the right avenue. She has admitted that she deletes my emails as they come in (while continuing to send me unbelievable communiqués), and keeps an eye on the forum, which is why. If I had the money to make this go away that way, I'd be doing it, believe me - I am usually much more discreet than this. It's very hard to know what to do in this kind of situation until it happens to you, and I am of course playing by ear here and not ashamed to admit it.
I'd much rather receive my apartment back in good condition than have to go through with this, and believe me when I say that I have not made the worst details of this public. If I were truly a vindictive person, I'd have used her real name and this thread would potentially haunt her for the rest of her life. I have been very careful not to do so, but would rather look bad in the eyes of someone who spends a lot of time passing judgement on strangers on the internet than know that I'd inflicted this on somebody else when it could have been avoided.
It sounds like the two of us may never interact, which is fine with me - this world is a big place and I'm actually a newcomer to the forum (despite a decade here) beacause I'm the child of an Argentine mother and speak fluent Spanish, so I don't usually need help to find my way around and have never joined an expat community in any other country I've lived in. I actually usually keep myself at arm's length from this forum because I'm more used to being in your position as a spectator and you do see some unbelivable things here, it is true.
I'm just doing what I need to do here, and I never in my wildest dreams thought I'd have to do something like this. I would much rather have this thread be up for four days and resolve my issue than have to go and deal with this the Argentine way.
I really hope that the mods will cooperate with me on Monday afternoon when this will be over in editing this into a thread that can help people avoid these situations in future while not providing a roadmap for grifters. If not, I will be deleting it, as I said I would in my original, unedited, post. I think my intentions are clear to those whose opinions I value.
I can literally not afford to have this happen to me - there is another thread on this forum where I explain the big estafa I had that got me into this position in the first place. Also, if I save even one expat the hassle of going through all of this, the tradeoff of never meeting you (or whoever else feels this way) will have been 1000% worth it.
