Answer
Yes, being aware of common scams can help you avoid trouble. One prevalent scam involves taxi drivers who quote low fares but take longer routes to increase the charge.
• Another one is the 'friendly local' who offers unsolicited advice or assistance, only to later demand payment. Always be cautious and verify prices before agreeing to services.
Stay aware of surroundings, keep valuables secure and use reputable transport and booking channels. Treat urgent payment requests, unusually cheap offers and pressure to surrender original documents as warning signs.
