- Petty theft and pickpocketingThieves take money or belongings. Pickpockets are reported in both Suva and Nadi, but no specific distraction method is described.
- Group muggingRobbers confront a traveller and take their belongings. Muggings are often carried out by large groups, so travelling with other people does not guarantee protection.
- Personal questions leading to overpriced souvenirsSomeone asks your name and country, then tries to lead you to a shop. They offer souvenirs at heavily inflated prices and may say they made the goods themselves.
