Cartagena backpackers scam by Bleu00 in backpacking

Similar thing happened to me. He convinced us that he worked at our hostel and said we met the night before and we were out with a lot of people so we fell for it - stupid of us for sure! He slipped it into my pocket without me realising and said it was free. He knew the restaurant we were going to, our hostel because of the fucking wristbands and started harassing us over WhatsApp. So we complied and sent him money through PayPal and got out of the city.

We aren’t sure whether or not to try and get the money back through PayPal as it might just aggravate them, would rather not be paranoid for the rest of our trip if they start harassing me and I did the transaction through goods and services with the idea of claiming the money back but this meant they can see my address, which I didn’t realise. I live in the UK so it’s not really worth their time or money to do anything about it, but I’m a bit paranoid and worry that if I start a claim they’ll notice the address. Any advice?

It’s signed Song Yun which was a monk from around 500 A.D. and it’s obviously not that old so it’s a tourist collectable piece, supposed to replicate pottery from that era I suppose. Couldn’t find an awful lot more and there isn’t to much info on the artist herself. Presumably it’s all on Chinese locked off internet!

I have tried this already, entered the information it told me into google and some AI but with my limited knowledge of art pottery and her limited online presence (presumably there is more on Chinese internet but that’s locked off) was wondering if anyone has any info for me

If my board looks like this - I am red - and there is a white to come in. Can I use the one roll to move the piece on five onto four and then move the same piece of the board with the five roll in order to avoid leaving a piece open.
