Scams to watch for in Mauritania
- Inflated opening pricesA seller starts with a price far above what they may accept. Opening prices can be three times the eventual price. Bargaining is expected, so a high first quote alone does not prove fraud.
- Friendship used to push a saleSomeone approaches as a new friend, then tries to sell you something at an inflated price. Persistent sellers may use your politeness to keep you talking or draw you into a shop.
- A gift used to create pressure to buyA seller presents an item as a gift as part of an attempt to make you buy something. The gesture can make you feel that you owe them a purchase.
