33. What are some common travel scams to watch out for

Sure! Here are three different responses:

"Oh man, there are so many travel scams out there! One of the most common ones is the 'fake taxi' scam. You think you’re getting into a legit cab, but it turns out it’s just some random dude trying to charge you way too much. Always stick to official taxi stands or use rideshare apps if you can. Another one is the 'free tour' scam where they lure you in with the promise of a free tour, but then hit you with a huge bill at the end. Just be cautious and do your research!"

"You gotta watch out for the 'friendly local' scam! You know, when someone approaches you and starts chatting, then offers to show you around or take you to a great spot, but they end up leading you to a tourist trap or asking for money. Also, be careful with the 'lost wallet' trick where someone pretends to drop their wallet and distracts you while their buddy snags your stuff. Just keep your wits about you, and you’ll be fine!"
