Well, it would never happen to you guys. You're too astute to be taken in by a con man.

One thing I tell people who are about to go traveling around is......if someone approaches you for some / any reason, be suspicious.

On the other hand if you need some help with most anything, if you initiate the contact with almost any stranger, most likely the stranger is reliable and eager to help, and will not try to rip you off.

Being targetted is the key.

Paul, nice story though. maybe its worth $40 and the perfume knockoffs that you got.

I totally have bought something from vendors simply because their salesmanship was so good and I knew the wares were a bit overpriced. We just enjoyed how they did it and the sales process.

I wonder if some of these “scammers” would be excellent car salesman or corporate salesman if they had given other opportunities. At least in the past most car salesman were quite bad. The good salesman enjoy the process. The bad one don’t.
