Ah. I just got a copy of "scam dogs and momo mamas" (for one penny on amazon, lol), and saw refs to you being in Italy in the reviews.
Out of curiosity, where in Italy were you? I lived in Innsbruck for a couple years, and have spent many months driving around Italy, especially Toscana.
Have been thinking of renting a place in Volterra or Siena for some writing projects next year. Any words of advice on such?
99.99% of all pinks are scams. Best to assume the other 0.01% are as well.
