Be careful when you encounter these pits during your trip, and cover your money bag tightly.

During the May Day holiday, some friends chose to go out to play. A friend of mine told me about some potholes when he came back from a trip, so this time I'm going to write an article about how to prevent potholes and fraud during a trip. I hope everyone can avoid these traps and have a pleasant trip in the future, whether traveling with a group or independently.

1, Shanzhai Scenic Area

Deception: a black-hearted tour guide or a wild taxi driver will tell you that there is a place nearby that is more beautiful and fun than the local xxx scenic spot, and more fun and cheaper than those famous scenic spots. Carpooling only takes 5 to 10 yuan. Then when you get on the bus and arrive at your destination: the ticket to 98 yuan, and the scenic spot is not worth seeing at all, finally you see many people being pulled over to see this cottage scenic spot …

Anti-fraud guide: Do a good job in travel strategy in advance, ignore the black tour guide on the roadside, don't take a wild taxi, and take the subway, bus or Didi to your destination if the scenic spot is far away.

2. Monks tell fortune

Deception: first quietly follow the tourists for a while, listen to the chat content, and get a general understanding of the tourists. Then according to your chat content, make up some reasons such as criminals and family discord, which can tell you how to resolve this disaster, provided that you charge an explanation fee of 666 yuan.

Anti-fraud guide: Don't pay attention to monks who take the initiative to strike up a conversation, and don't ask fortune tellers anything casually.

3, the monk's "gift"

Deception: In some popular scenic spots such as famous temples all over the country, it is often seen that some people wearing monk's clothes take out some protective amulets and pendants. Said they'd give it to you for free. After you get them, you will be asked to donate to charity. ...

Anti-fraud guide: watch your wallet, don't buy anything, don't take what the monk gave you.

If you win the first prize, you will get a 10% discount on watches and jade articles.

Deception: You buy things in a store or supermarket and then draw a lottery when you check out. Finally, you won the first prize in a store next door, and you can take home the original watch jade of 1.999 yuan for only 1.999 yuan. In fact, these so-called watches and jades are only thirty or fifty yuan at most. ...

Anti-fraud guide: Don't be greedy and cheap, or don't take part in the lucky draw, or don't buy anything that needs to be paid after winning the prize. The bottom line is resolutely not to pay!

5, bridal chamber trap

Deception: In some scenic spots where ethnic minorities live in concentrated communities, especially in some folk villages, well-dressed girls will invite you to participate in the game of robbing relatives, and there is also a link of "sending a bridal chamber". Many tourists will walk into the "bridal chamber" out of curiosity. At this time, someone will ask the tourists for dowry money. I won't let you out easily if I don't give it. You have to pay 50 yuan, 100 yuan. Actually, what you want to see is impossible. ...

Anti-fraud guide: Don't take part in this game of stealing relatives into the bridal chamber. Remember that the good thing of "entering the bridal chamber" will not fall on you.

6. Sun took the initiative to take photos with everyone and charged after taking photos.

Secret of Deception: Someone dressed as the Monkey King, Pig and other characters warmly invited you to take a photo with him, and then asked you for the co-production fee after you took the photo happily. This kind of deception can be said to be found all over the country, especially because children are curious babies and like to take photos with the characters in these cartoons, and then parents have to pay. ...

Anti-fraud guide: ruthlessly refuse to take photos. If you really want to take pictures, you can ask the price first and negotiate before taking pictures.

7. An affair in a bar

Deception: A single beauty/handsome guy next to you or in a bar offers you a drink, as if it was love at first sight, and invites you to have a drink with her/him. When you are still intoxicated with the wonderful moment of meeting her/him and fantasizing about some follow-up plots, these wine trays have ordered a lot of wine, and each bottle is expensive. ...

Anti-fraud guide: Don't trust the beautiful young woman/man you meet easily. She/he is only interested in your money. If you really want to go where you want to drink, don't listen to the other person's recommendation.

8. Ping An Xiang/Fu scam

Deception: Some peace incense/symbols were opened by Master xx himself, but they are hard to find. The craziest thing I have ever seen is in a famous scenic spot in Chongqing. Each 999 yuan blessing bag represents health, peace, longevity, wealth and so on. I saw a local tyrant directly buy five blessing bags at one time.

Anti-fraud Guide: Don't trust these so-called Ping An Xiang, Amulets and Fu Bao, which are actually no different from ordinary incense and bags. Cover your money bag tightly and spend it where it should be spent.

9. Low-priced group trap

Deception: In order to attract tourists, many tour groups have launched exciting low-cost tours, such as "199 yuan xx three-day tour" and so on. I didn't start "killing" you until you joined the league. At this time, you will be asked to add more money in various names, such as tour guide fee/ticket fee/food upgrade fee/accommodation upgrade fee/insurance fee and so on. What's even more annoying is that there are so many shopping spots that there is no travel experience at all.

Anti-fraud guide: remember that good things are not cheap. If you want to travel with a group, try to report to a pure tour group. Although the price is higher, at least it won't be so pitted and you can have fun.

10, local souvenirs, food

Deception: Many souvenirs and delicacies near the scenic spots will be promoted as local famous shops, handicrafts and snacks ... I would say that if you are not afraid of being scolded, generally delicious food will not be near the scenic spots, and local people will not go there to eat, because it is expensive and not delicious; Most of the so-called handicrafts come from the small commodity market in Yiwu, Zhejiang …

Anti-fraud guide: If you want to eat real local food, you must first make a strategy. General specialties are hidden in century-old shops deep in the alley. You don't have to buy handicrafts and souvenirs, because buying them online is the same. If you want to leave a souvenir, I suggest you go to the local post office and write yourself a postcard with local characteristics. When you go back, you will find that the postcard belongs to this place: the postmark of the local post office, the date, and the words and handwriting you left in that city are still very memorable.
