"Anshun Three-Day Tour Route" reveals various scams you may encounter when traveling abroad

Be really careful when going abroad now. If you are not careful, you may be deceived and it is easy to make money. The key point is that sometimes even passports and other documents can be defrauded, which is really not worth the loss. So, today, Xiao Ai will tell you about the scams you may encounter when traveling abroad!

The first type: stealing things while others are not paying attention.

When traveling in Rome, you may encounter a group of gypsy children coming around and waving newspapers in front of you. But newspapers are actually just a cover for them to block your view and allow others to put their hands into your pockets and steal your wallet or other items.

Countermeasures: In this case, you should firmly get rid of them and call for help if necessary.

Busses going to attractions are often crowded with tourists and pickpockets from all over the world, especially Italy and France. The tactic of pickpockets is to cause chaos on the bus and steal wallets, cameras and other belongings while tourists are not paying attention.

Countermeasures: When taking a crowded bus or train, be sure to keep your luggage next to you.

The second type: lie to you and say that the scenic spot is not open.

On the street away from the main entrance of the Grand Palace Scenic Area, a person who looks like a regular tour guide will chat with you and tell you that the Grand Palace is closed this morning and he is willing to take you on a private tour. But in fact, the Grand Palace is not closed at all, just to scare you. Many people are too lazy to verify it themselves, or they think that Thailand is a Buddhist country and cannot be deceived. As a result, they believed the rumors. In the end, I took a very expensive so-called private tour guide, and I might be forced to buy a lot of things, which would do more harm than good.

Countermeasures: Ignore these people. You should check the main entrance of the scenic spot yourself, or check the itinerary in advance.

The third type: forced extortion.

In Paris, France, especially under the Eiffel Tower, there will be Gypsies (yes, Gypsies again) who will deliberately approach you, strike up a conversation with you, and then suddenly put a hand-knitted bracelet on your wrist. Bracelet, tied in a tight knot, you have to pay. If you refuse, he will yell that you stole his bracelet. Many people think that when encountering such misfortune and they are abroad, they often hope to make the big thing trivial and settle it for a few euros or dozens of euros.

Countermeasures: In France, Italy, and Spain in Europe, if you encounter someone who is enthusiastic about you or approaches you deliberately, be alert. Although it is possible to offend some truly good people, there is no other way but to kill 100 of them by mistake and not let any one go.

Fourth: Deliberately seduce you and make you want to stop.

In foreign countries, there may be particularly beautiful beauties with S-shaped curves, bulging front and back, and filled with various fragrances (according to the most popular words nowadays, the air is sweet!) A sexy hot model deliberately approaches you and invites you to her home or to a bar. Be careful in this situation. It's possible that they are regular patrons of the bar, deliberately ordering ridiculously expensive drinks to make you pay.

Of course, if you think this woman is so beautiful that you can’t help yourself and think it’s worth spending so much money, then. In fact, there are many opportunities abroad! Hahahahahaha

Countermeasures: Look at the other party’s conditions. If it’s really too glamorous, then you’ve been fooled!

Not to mention a relatively common scam.

I hope everyone will be more vigilant and don’t let these scammers succeed!
