#38 Getting scammed on holiday


Listen Later

Thinking about a few occasions that I was either scammed, or people attempted to scam me, when I travelled. Yes, I know I have been incredibly naive and gullible. And also lucky that no harm's come of it.


The premise of these scams all pre-date internet banking and are based on good old fashioned tom foolery. Well, more fool you scammers! Because I am tight and don't go flashing my cash or chucking money around. On one occasion, I didn't even realise someone had been trying to scam me, until a few hours later. Yes, I am that oblivious at times.


Still, they're the stories and scenarios I remember from travelling. And they all happened because I like to go along with things, have a bit of an adventurous spirit, and see what happens. Or maybe I'm just a massive wally.
