"Oh, definitely! One big one is the 'free vacation' scam where they try to lure you in with a super cheap deal, but then hit you with hidden fees. Always read the fine print!"

"Yeah, watch out for those fake travel agencies online. They look legit but might just take your money and run. Stick to well-known sites or agencies!"

"I've heard about the 'overpriced taxi' scam in tourist areas. Always agree on a price before getting in or use a rideshare app to avoid getting ripped off."

"Don't forget about the 'lost wallet' trick! Someone might approach you saying they found your wallet and then distract you while their buddy steals your stuff. Just keep an eye on your belongings!"

"Another one to look out for is the 'fake tour guide' scam. Some people might offer you tours at a great price, but they’re not official and can take you to sketchy places. Always check reviews first!"
