This thread is about how to resolve issues in Ecuador or with Ecuadorians.
Sophems, a member from Manta, has an issue with her security guards because of their lack of professionalism. Her post was posted in another thread that has gotten out a little sidetracked. So I decided to start a topic here because of its significance.
Posted by Sophems: I have random strangers always knocking on my gate wanting money because they say the guards tell them I am a gringo and they only come to my house. They never knock on any other gate and they are never live in my neighborhood. I'm very good to my security here, always giving snacks and drinks on hot days and booze on holidays.
Ecuadorians won't tolerate this situation and neither should expats.
Sophems have you tried communicating with the security guards and asked them to stop allowing strangers from entering?
If you haven't then you should do just that and if your Spanish is too limited to convey that message then ask a friend to accompany you. You can also bring this issue to the administration and ask them to handle it. Perhaps other members can give additional advice.
