How to Avoid Scams in Europe
Secure Your Belongings:
Leave valuables, passports, and extra cash behind to prevent pickpocketing in busy tourist areas.
Avoid Street Swindlers:
Never accept "free" items like bracelets or roses from strangers, as they will demand payment afterward.
Be Cautious with Beggars:
Understand that there are many public resources available, so giving money directly may not be necessary.
Use Trusted Financial Channels:
Avoid wire transfers for bookings and use official bank ATMs to prevent financial scams.
Verify Identification:
Only use registered taxis and official tour guides to avoid overcharges and subpar services.
