Taking advantage of exchange rate differences
This scam often takes advantage of the exchange rate difference between local currencies and USD to scam.
When customers want to buy something, the seller will accept them as paying in USD or another currency other than local currency, then the scammer will return the installment incorrectly, specifically paying you in short.
Tips: get used to the conversion rate before traveling and always count the amount of money returned after buying something.
Coincidence collision
In fact, there are many scammers who have deliberately attacked you to take anything of you that they find valuable. While touching, they can pretend to invite you to buy a wallet, a luxury watch, jewelry or even a bag.
Many tourists did not realize that their belongings had been stolen until they searched for the item.
Tips: Do not wear loose jewelry, do not leave the wallet out of view and it is safer to put the necklace, wallet in your bag, backpack and wear it forward. Keep cash in a safe place, instead of leaving it in your back pocket.
Taking advantage of the crowd
This is one of the most fearsome scams that tourists face because it is not always clear where the thief came from or what they did.
These scammers are often pickpockets in tourist areas that attract large crowds. The crowd allowed them to easily access a person's bag to find expensive items and steal them, then rush into the crowd and disappear.
Tips: Enjoy the attractions, but also pay attention to the people around and their places of hand. It is best to wear bags and backpacks in front, to avoid being stolen from behind.
