Venue: Paris, France

Liar: a group of gypsy women

Event background: Passing Galeries Lafayette Department Store.

I have seen groups of gypsy women asking tourists for their autographs several times in different scenic spots in Paris. When they saw the tourists, a group of people swarmed. One of them forced you to give you an autograph book to deal with you, and the others began to wait for opportunities to steal from you and take your bag. This is what we met in the street next to Lafayette. At that time, everyone was waiting for the red light, and a group of people crowded up and surrounded my wife. I heard her shout at once: "What are you doing! ? "I rushed up and a woman's hand came out of my wife's bag. I dragged my wife away, and she never traveled with a shoulder bag again.

Venue: Milan, Italy

Liar: Two fake policemen.

Event background: Football fans met fake policemen in San Siro, Milan.

Because I like football and AC Milan, Milan's itinerary must go to the fan resort-San Siro. On the way to San Siro, we met a boy who claimed to be a French student and a die-hard Milan student, and offered to lead the way to the team museum and dressing room. When we were taken to an unusually quiet place, when no one was around, suddenly two people who claimed to be policemen came up and waved their papers, saying that they suspected that the boy was a conductor. Then they began to search him and asked him to take his wallet. At this time, a classic scene that everyone has told many times in the forum appeared-one of the policemen picked up the big bill in his wallet, sniffed it repeatedly and gave it back to another policeman. Don't move after smelling it, and the boys are also very cooperative. Then the police began to look at our papers and wallets. At this time, I said I could watch it, but I had to go to the police station. In fact, they are very nervous at this time, and the worst case is to want to rob openly. But fortunately, they have been threatening us with words, such as not buying fake tickets and not touching drugs. About five minutes, two fake policemen said, be careful. At this time, we were very nervous, only to find that the boy who cheated the road had disappeared without a trace.

I photographed the backs of two fake policemen with trembling hands.

Venue: Prague, Czech Republic

Liar: Uncle of Eastern Europe

Event background: changing the crown

I went to Prague with three other friends. One of my friends was in Germany, and I changed the euro into Czech krona, which was quickly spent. There are many small shops around Prague Square to exchange money, and the exchange rate is reasonable, so he plans to change some krona. Before we got to these coin exchange shops, an eastern European uncle pulled us halfway and said that we could exchange krona for him at a more affordable exchange rate. When my buddy got excited, he agreed. He didn't read the "Krone" (afterwards he said that he thought the paper money was colorful and almost the same color, so he didn't check it carefully). When ordering food at Starbucks in Prague Square, the waiter said, "No, this is Hungarian forint!" " We found that the uncle of Eastern Europe cheated him and gave him Hungarian coins. Because 1 euro =289.6273 Hungarian forint, 1 euro =24.4304 Czech krona.

Venue: Rome, Italy

Liar: A young man in a hat.

Event background: Tri-colored rope in Spain Square

I was sitting on the steps of the Spanish square when a young man in a hat came up and accosted me in English. As he spoke, he took out a roll of tricolor rope in the color of Italian flag from his bag. Before I knew it, he put on my little finger and said it was a blessing (then I realized that I had been cheated). I refused at once, but he continued to pull the rope and wrapped it around my wrist. At this time, his partner appeared, swinging around my wrist with nail clippers, cutting off the extra rope on my wrist, and then pulling me for money. Because I didn't dare to put my wallet in Italy, I took it out of my trouser pocket and took out a 50 euro and a 10 euro. 50 euros was dragged away by him at once, and he looked for me 10 euros, and then disappeared immediately. The whole process takes no more than 2 minutes.

The Secret of Travel Deception: Silly boy, were you cheated today?

Venue: Barcelona, Spain

Liar: Barcelona female liar

Event background: classic bird shit scam

At 7 am on March 6th, my friend's fruit was stolen at the subway entrance near Barcelona Central Railway Station. At that time, a girl said to her in English, "You have bird droppings on you." When the fruit looks back, there are some spots on it (the thief will splash paint on you on purpose), and then the girl hands over a paper towel for the fruit to wipe. Fruit took down the two bags she had brought with her, just finished wiping clothes, and when she looked back, both bags were gone, and her passport, certificate, bank card and camera were all lost.

On the morning of March 7th, on the way to the consulate to get a new passport, a China boy in the front row suddenly turned to us and said, "Are you going to the consulate? I was also stolen! " The boy's name is Feng, and he is a student of Durham University in England. Also on March 6th, at Barcelona Central Railway Station, thieves stole all the belongings in the same way as fruits, leaving only sunglasses, MP4 and mobile phones. Since March 6 was the day he returned to England, the hotel had checked out, so Feng had to lie on a bench in the police station the night he was stolen.

Coincidentally, in the consulate, we met our classmate Xiaoyue whose fruit is in London. On March 6, she and her friend Fang were also in Catalonia Square in the center of Barcelona. The thief stole some property in the same way. Abortion's passport was still with her, but she lost her British residence permit, so she came to the China Consulate for consultation.

Similar incidents have happened in Madrid and even in segovia near Madrid. This is the biggest scam in Spain, but some people still fall for it!

The Secret of Travel Deception: Silly boy, were you cheated today?

The so-called "bird droppings" are poured by swindlers.

Venue: Athens, Greece

Liar: Beautiful Miss Greece.

Event Background: Fairy Jump

Remind everyone, especially single people, that there is a "fairy dance" in Praka district, and there are Greek beauties (and gentlemen) who hit it off with you. If you want to have a drink with you, don't be cheated. A bottle can be tens of euros.

Fairy dance is the psychology of some men (usually looking for prostitutes) on the grounds of engaging in obscene activities. When two people go to a certain place and are ready to do something shameful, at this time, this woman's accomplice, usually a man, suddenly appears in front of them. In order not to make things public, in order to protect themselves, lecherous people will give their money to their associates, and they will achieve the purpose of extortion.

I'm staying at polat Hotel in Istanbul, and it costs 30 euros to take a taxi from downtown. One day I went back to the hotel and paid when I got off the bus. I gave it to the driver, 50 yuan. After receiving the money, he immediately took out the local currency of 5 yuan and said that I gave the wrong money. The driver there cheated tourists in this way, which I met twice in four days.

Asia branch

Venue: Madav Kumar, Nepal.

Liar: motorcycle rental dealer

Event background: renting a motorcycle to climb the mountain.

This kind of scam usually happens when you rent a motorcycle to climb a mountain or hike. For example, he gives you a motorcycle full of gas (in fact, it must be dissatisfied). Because I am not familiar with the scale of motorcycle fuel tank, I can only go on the road. When you get to the mountain, you will find that you can't drive without oil. Just when you are alone, pushing a motorcycle in the scorching sun, there are often several good people who will help you light the fire in time and then find that there is no oil. Here are some glasses of oil for you. You have to give him several hundred rupees.

Venue: Bangkok, Thailand

Liar: Cruise Operators

Event background: I lied that the Grand Palace was closed, so I took a cruise first.

Four friends met the legendary liar in the Grand Palace. The liar said that the Grand Palace didn't open until 3: 30 in the afternoon, so he took them on a cruise and just opened the door when he came back. As a result, they didn't do their homework and believed it. When they returned to the Grand Palace at half past three, they really closed. The cruise cost 800 pounds per person. This is a bloody lesson.

Venue: Pattaya, Thailand

Liar: jet ski rental business

Event background: I rented two motorboats to play.

I went to Pattaya, Thailand and booked a speedboat to Coral Island. It's noon on Coral Island, and we are swimming and playing on the beach. A Thai has been chasing us to rent their motorboat, and the price has been falling. Finally, we couldn't resist the temptation and accepted his proposal and rented two motorboats to play. When returning the car, the problem came. He said that a piece of anti-collision rubber on the right side of the motorcycle was knocked off. It must be that the motorcycle hit a floating object in the sea and asked us to pay 8000THB! We argued that we had never hit anything (it was my fault that we didn't check it before). It must have been broken before, so he showed a ferocious face and said, "It's past four o'clock in the afternoon. Look at the beach. None left. " When I saw that there were only three tourists on the whole beach, he went on to say, "If you don't lose money, you can't expect to leave Coral Island. Anything can happen here as soon as it gets dark. We still have guns, and we are girls. The consequences are very serious. " Finally, after a long period of bargaining, we finally concluded the transaction at a loss of 4000THB.
