Scams to watch for in Syria
- Taxi overcharging and unused metersDrivers may bargain with foreign visitors and ask for very high fares instead of using the meter. Licensed taxis have meters. In Damascus, drivers often do not use them at night. Private airport cab services also cost substantially more, though a higher price alone does not mean fraud.
- Persistent begging and demands for moneySome people begging may follow visitors and keep demanding money until they pay. There are also reports of tourists being attacked for money or food. Begging is common in some places, but not every person asking for help is running a scam.
- Fake begging appealsSome people imitate beggars to obtain money and use further tricks to persuade visitors to give more. The exact stories and methods are not described.
