My uncle, Dr Salo Koffler, got his permit almost immediately. My family did not. My mother's cousin said she knew an important official w ho, for 10,000 Lei, would add my mother, my brother and me to my uncle's, permit, but not my father. The money was somehow scraped together and the permit came back with our names hand written on the bottom in green ink. My uncle realized that this addition did not come from the Popvici administration, and would not allow us to use it. Luckily we received our own permit, including my father some weeks later. Ergo, there were scams the, as they are today.
I'm sending this from my IPad and hope it goes as plain text .
