Why Foreigners Don't Trust Indians in India (Tourist Trap Scam)

I am here in Kochi fishing nets. And I've read a lot on the Internet about a

tourist

trap

that fishermen are setting with these Chinese fishing nets. So let's go see what they're doing. How can you avoid this. What's that? You are inviting me. Alright? Karl: New Zealand. Joseph: Your name? Karl: Karl Oh, yeah. Yes Karl: Are you a tour guide? You sound like a tour guide. That's fine thanks. This was very interesting. I'm going to go now. Yes, I'm going to stand on the beach and watch. Thank you very much for showing me these networks.

Joseph: Ok, be happy and gift here to my family. God bless you. Hey? Joseph: Asking for donation. Karl: Oh, you want donation. Joseph: To the family, to the children of poor fishermen. Karl: But you called me from here and said come, so I thought. Joseph: Everyone here has a lot of problems, this one doesn't fish. Karl: Not because you were calling me. So I thought you were being friendly like you wanted to show me something quick. That is what. Joseph: You are happy and give away here. I said, okay Karl: I understand, thank you very much.

Thank you, thank you Joseph: My name is Joseph Karl: Thank you Joseph Karl: One hundred, one hundred rupees is fine, man. Karl: No No, no more gifts, I gave you a hundred. Joseph: Give me a pen Karl: it's good money. I don't have a pen. I don't have a pen. Ok, now. José: I love you India. I love India. Karl: Thank you. Thank God. We just met our friend Joseph here on the internet and they shout your name when you walk down the boulevard. And they say come and see our fishing nets, so you think oh wow!

He's a friendly local, a friendly fisherman who just wants to show me his net, but that's not the reality here in India and whenever someone calls you a friend here, it's usually because he wants to make some money from you. And that's what's really sad. So after showing you the fishing nets, he starts asking for a donation and puts more and more pressure on you to give him a pen or something. So yes there is always a problem here in India and that is the sad thing because it makes us

foreigners

not

trust

locals at all because we think that local Indians only want something from us if they approach us on the street and just They chat with us. and know.

If they are meeting you at Connaught Place or in these

tourist

areas, chances are they just want something from you. They shouldn't be doing this. This is a

trap

, this is a tourist trap. They trap you with this friendly local fake person and then ask you for a donation at the end. Yes, if you are wondering why a foreigner is not, you will know that they are interested in meeting you on the street if you approach them if you are Indian. It's probably because someone has taken advantage of that experience by asking them for a donation or money or pressuring them to do something.

It is not uncommon for us

foreigners

to face this here. So guys, be careful when you are here in Kochi and around these fishing nets. Know what you are getting yourself. And they will ask you for money and you might want to pay them well and take a tour of the fishing net. That's great. But you should know that you will have to pay before you get to those fishing nets. And it actually turned out well for me. If you don't pay them, they will take your phone if you have been taking photos. They won't give it back to you until you pay them.

These are other stories. I've heard of tourists here. They will get money from you somehow. I actually felt bad for Joseph. So I gave him money. He wasn't planning on doing it, but that's part of the plan for them too. Sell ​​you one, sell you a sad story.
