EXPERT’S GUIDE TO AVOIDING THEFT AND SCAMS
Thieves prey on the unsuspecting – so get clued up to stay safe
AVOIDING PITFALLS
Firstly, adopt an anti-scam mindset in everyday life so it’s second nature when travelling. For instance, don’t let your credit card out of sight in restaurants and be cautious revealing personal information. This means you don’t have to adjust your behaviour on the road.
Once travelling, one of the best ways to avoid being targeted is to blend in as much as possible: wear clothes worn in the region (that is, no shorts and Hawaiian shirts in Paris), don’t walk around with a camera on show and avoid opening maps – duck into a cafe to read them discretely, or buy a local street directory.
Learning a phrase in the local language such as ‘Saya tinggal di Bali’ – ‘I live in Bali’ (or the equivalent for whichever destination) has an amazing effect on dispelling nefarious types.
Have a hand/carry bag with interior pockets, so your wallet can’t easily be lifted, even if people manage to reach into your bag. Wearing your bag across your body also stops it being easy to swipe.
