Sure! Here are three different responses:

"Oh man, there are a bunch of travel scams you should watch out for! One classic is the 'fake taxi' scam where someone pretends to be an official taxi driver but ends up charging you way more than a normal fare. Also, be careful with people asking for donations or help outside tourist spots—they might just be trying to scam you. And don’t forget about the 'free bracelet' trick where someone puts a bracelet on your wrist and then demands payment. Just stay alert and trust your gut!"

"Definitely! One common scam is the 'overly friendly local' who offers to take you on a tour but then hits you with a huge bill at the end. Another one is the 'lost tourist' scam where someone pretends to need help and then robs you while you're distracted. Also, watch out for those 'too good to be true' deals on hotels or activities—they can end up being a total scam. Just keep your wits about you!"
