I got Schengen Visa for 30 days from Italian Embassy. In my application, I said I wanted to visit only Italy. I went there through Milan Airport and used train for going to the city. There were two attempts to rob me, in one while boarding the train someone caught my leg and took away an airline purse from my pant-pocket. I got scared and decided to restrict my travel to Rome and Venice. Since there was lot of time, I went to Switzerland and Spain, eventually exiting from Lisbon, Portugal.

As a condition of visa, I was required to show my passport to Italian Embassy who had issued me the visa. When the officer observed Portugal stamp, she flared up and said she would put it in Central Data Base and have me black-listed. There were many other travelers who met the same fate.

This was in 2010. If I applied for visa to Poland in 2014, what are my prospects.

Its truly hard to say..as if you were infact blacklisted you usually wont get a visa granted again for the ban period. Many bans are for 1-3 years so if this happened in 2010 and youre traveling in 2014 and it was a short ban you should be ok. Ofcourse theres no sure way of knowing.Hopefully it was just a threat by the italian embassy.
Best of luck
