gran canaria parking scam

Last week we went to the market of Puerto de mogan . we wanted to park next to the Supermarket "Superdino" and we were stopped by a woman who's give us a direction where to park . To our suprised she asked us to paid 3 euro . Most of the parking area in gran canaria are FREE ! and this one wasn't an exception , if you have a doubt just looked all others cars if they have a ticket display . Anyway I refused naturly to pay and she didn't said anything I went to see in the city center a policeman who told me that the police knew the problem but they didn't done anything .

generally this is how the scam is running . A guy watch if you car is for an rental company ( generally is display in the rear windows ) and make a sign to the woman in front . She will show you where to park and write quickly a ticket .If the guy see some spanish people in the car they let them go I have some picture of this people and picture of the number plate of them car . If you have any suggestion I will take it .
