Bad luck mate, but have you never read the warnings on this site? NEVER change your money on the streets - use hotels or banks. Also M&S do really good rates this end, so you can change before you go.

Ian, they only need a couple like you each day. to make a very good living. The rates these cons show are the buying rates nothe selling rates. We warn everybody about this. but now once bitten you will shy away next time.

Last week I used the kiosk (as you leave the Rila, turn left and head towards Frankie and the Black Cat, they are on the right). Never got charge commission. This is not the one opposite the entrance of the Rila where Ian got charged commission.
