Eye on Spain Newsletter - 30 June 2011                40,075 Readers Buenos dias I can't believe three weeks have flown by since our last newsletter! We've been busy working on getting the new ebook "The Expat Files" ready. I'll send more details later in the week. In the first article this week one of the things I mention is how it's generally expats that con other expats. This was the case again this week so we are asking people to see if they know a certain Mr Chris Barber who is pretending to be a Sky engineer. He has run off with a huge amount of money belonging to a community. Please see the thread and let me know if you know anything about his whereabouts. Thanks: Chris Barber - Have you seen this fraudster? He could be targeting your community next! Anyway, enjoy this week's articles and remember to keep sending us your stories to publish too. Tell us about where you live or plan to live, etc. We and all our readers want to hear from you. Have a great week.

It got me thinking about our own experiences in moving to Spain and also those of our friends. So I thought I’d share with you some of the most common mistakes I see new expats make out here.
