Scams to watch for in Russia
- Pickpocketing in crowdsThieves take money, phones or documents while people are crowded together or distracted. Pushing at train doors can make it harder to notice someone reaching into a pocket or bag.
- Unofficial taxi overcharging and inflated metersAn unofficial driver charges far more than expected. In Moscow, a meter may use an invented, inflated rate. In Kazan, taking a random terminal cab without agreeing a price can cost much more than booking ahead.
- Street currency exchange scamsUnofficial money changers use various tricks during cash exchanges. A street offer gives you little protection if the amount or deal changes.
