Going to Paris? 🇫🇷Do not fall for the tourist scams! 🇺🇸
Here is what tourists fall for
Those six are not the famous ones. There are dozens, and they are built so that you never notice.
Why you will not catch any of them:
- You will not notice anything at the time.
- Nothing on the bill will look wrong.
- You will not have the French to argue.
- Most of it is perfectly legal.
- You will find out at home, on your statement.
How to Avoid 50 Paris Scams, from an American Who Is Still Here
I came for one year and I am still here, seven years later. My friends are Parisian, and half of this list is what they taught me.
For every one of the fifty:
- Spot it first, what the setup looks like, a minute before it starts.
- Read the bill, what should be on it, and what should never be.
- The words, the exact sentence to say, written out and spelled.
- Your rights, what they owe you here, and what they do not.
- Nothing to find out later, you deal with it there, not on your statement.
- And 45 more, one page each, sorted by place: the airport, the cafe, the street, the shop.
