When you're a tourist,
unfamiliar with your surroundings and vulnerable to needing help or information, you tend to be
more trusting of locals and less likely to question what you're being told.
When you cannot speak the
language you're even more at risk.
Most scammers are smart and
can spot a tourist a mile away - knowing you are more than likely carrying
large amounts of cash and credit on you.
This list of common tourist
scams put together by justtheflight.co.uk will help you avoid common scam situations,
and help you become more alert and aware before you fall victim.
You'll notice some scams are
more obvious and you'll instinctively know you have been targeted. But other
are a little more devious, leaving you to believe you're at fault for either
losing or miscalculating.
