Arabiaweather.com - Ismail Qasimi - The tricks that thieves use in the major streets of many tourist cities go beyond theft and direct pickpocketing to be theft in a very nice way..
Don't let them fool you with their innocence selling newspapers
This trick is common and widespread in many cities, where you are distracted by a number of children waving newspapers at you, while another works to snatch your wallet or something from your bag. In any case, you are not interested in reading newspapers, so avoid them quickly and do not be affected by the innocence of children's eyes.
Don't rely on trying to help them, their apology is enough for you
This trick happens a lot in different transportation stations (airports, trains, etc.) when you are busy with your bags and the timing of travel, someone throws some liquids at you and then apologizes and pretends to try to help clean up while his intention is to steal you before boarding your transportation.
Check the equipment you rent.. because they will claim that you damaged it
Whether you rent a bicycle or motorbike, skateboards, jet skis, or others.. there are some scammers in different countries of the world who will claim that you damaged a part of it and damaged it that needs repair, so make sure of the tools you rent before using them.
Stay away from survey guys and polls
If you travel frequently, you must have noticed something common in the major tourist cities, which is the prevalence of young people wishing to fill out data that are used in commercial or scientific studies and surveys. Help is sometimes beautiful, but it may fall into people whose purpose is to sign you up to donate money as support for charitable causes.
