Do you know what travel scams are hard to prevent?

There are countless cases of being cheated during the trip, such as meeting black car drivers, black-hearted tour guides, black-hearted shops, etc. The following are some common travel scams, which you can read carefully to avoid unpleasant travel.

1. Black taxi scam. In fact, black rentals for tourists are all over the world, which are common at home and abroad. Taxi drivers in Turkey, for example, are particularly "famous". When you pay him 5 lira, he will instantly change it into 5 lira, framing you for giving less money. Originally, it was only 3 lira away, but I charged you 25 lira. For example, in Russia, locals and foreigners have two different pricing systems, and foreigners take taxis more than twice as expensive as locals.

2. Enthusiastic about strangers' scams. Be wary of strangers who come to help you, especially foreigners who speak Chinese with you. For example, in the Paris subway station, there will be a swindler who pretends to be a subway worker and takes the initiative to buy a subway ticket for you, but in fact, a ticket for three people is sold to you as a ticket for one person for three days. For example, in Egypt, as long as you go in and out of hotels, airports, stations and scenic spots with your luggage, someone will definitely come up to carry your luggage for you. At this time, you must refuse because there is a charge.

3. The "wild tour guide" scam. Whether at home or abroad, regular tour guides also need to be licensed, but there are always many "wild tour guides" near the scenic spot, waiting for you to hook up and make a fortune. In Morocco, the most common people are those who claim to be local residents or students, who obviously take you to the scenic spots for free, but charge you for the tickets. Or explain the scenic spots and history to you, and finally charge a high tour guide fee.

4. Extortion scam. It is more common in popular tourist attractions in Europe that someone suddenly ties a "lucky rope" to your wrist and can't untie it, and then you are blackmailed for 2 euros. In Vietnam, be careful when strangers ask you to take his picture. They will ask you for cash, and when the peddler knows that he is a foreigner by his accent, he will immediately change the price.

5. Overcharging service fees. When you stay in a hotel, you should also pay attention to the service charge of the room, which is usually paid by credit card. If the waiter delivers food to your room and asks for an extra cash service fee, it means he has been cheated. In hotels in some popular tourist cities in Europe, there is no sign saying that table fees should be charged, but when checking out, the table fees will suddenly increase by about 15%. If you don't give it, you will cheat and get cheated.
