Art Scam

Young and convincing "art students" befriend you on the street and persuade you to visit their school's gallery, where you find yourself getting a high-pressure sales pitch to buy overpriced, third-rate work being passed off as art.

Bracelet Scam

Someone, usually quite charming, comes up to you offering directions or sightseeing advice. Suddenly, the person ties a woven bracelet around your wrist in a double knot, then demands payment. If you refuse, he screams that you're stealing the bracelet. Victims are typically so unnerved that they end up paying the handful of cash.

Brass Ring Scam

A passerby finds a gold ring on the sidewalk near you and agrees to sell it to you for a ridiculously low sum. You soon discover that the buy of a lifetime is made of brass.

Broken Camera Scam

Everyone is taking pictures of a famous sight, and someone comes up with a camera or cell phone and asks that you take his picture. But the camera or cell phone doesn't seem to work. When you hand it back, the "tourist" fumbles and drops it on the ground, where it breaks into pieces. He will either ask you to pay for repairs or lift your wallet while you are bending over to pick up the broken object.

Cocktail Bar Ripoff

Two male travelers in an unfamiliar city meet two pretty young women who invite them to a private room in a bar. When the bill comes, it is hugely inflated. The bartender demands cash (no credit cards, of course), and the doormen tell the travelers to pay up and leave.
