UK tourists warned of scams in popular holiday island - Manchester Evening News

When travelling abroad, scammers prey on tourists who are distracted and unfamiliar with local customs. Stick to reputable vendors, keep your wits about you, and don't be swayed by friendly locals offering deals that seem too convenient — they rarely are.

Stop and think before you act. If something feels urgent, threatening, or too good to be true — that urgency is the weapon. Scammers use pressure to override your judgement. Nothing is ever so urgent that you can't take five minutes to check, call back on a number you found yourself, or ask someone you trust.
