ISTANBUL SCAMS (MUST WATCH to AVOID THIS)

اكثرهم نصابين لانه حصل معاي شخصيا، عقب ما تدخل الملهى ايبولك جاي وانت ماطلبته ، اذا بتمشي قالك وين لحساب ، حساب شي انت ماطلبته

Why would you waste time of spice bazaar workers to revenge Taksim scammers?
This is like harassing Chicago hot-dog sellers as a revenge of New York street scammers 😆

At the bazaar it's not like they were trying to scam you.... Just offering samples. Of course their prices are higher than a local bakery etc, cause of location, (they also pay massive amounts of rent) but it's like a buy or don't buy thing. The scamming promoters on the other hand, those are the ones you should had seeked revenge from.

-Greetings from Greece.

Nothing good ever comes from a man approaching you on the street.

I live in Istanbul. Do not enter uncrowded places. Do not shop at the Spice Bazaar( MISIR ÇARŞISI) or the Covered Market(KAPALI ÇARŞI). Always do your shopping from chain markets. From Migros, A-101, BİM, ŞOK markets. Just wander around and enjoy.
Keep it: "All Muslim Countries are like this".

Nah bro nah

He was never to be seen after this

thank you for telling the scam's in Turkey

I was scammed by a crooked Istanbul taxi driver , who charged me 100% more with the excuse that he had to drive longer distance bc the short one was full of traffic.

If they approach you and ask: what you are doing you should say: I am going to my friends in the hotel and they let go usually, I was alone on istiklal and they noticed me easly but I was hella prepared 👽

Traveling to Turkey was one of my biggest mistakes, ngl Trabzon was worth it tho

The street to Taksim is full of people scammers. In night club, there is promoters try to avoid them. Guys on the street far away from the club start to talk to you. Saying you look turkish or Ask you for a lighter, these are scamers. Guys make sure you check the night club ok the internet first and Ask for menu where every you go. Taxi always order online or Uber.

Is it true that you can be scammed anywhere but it’s also a fact that chances to be scammed as a tourist are higher in Turkey than any other place in the world.

Turkish people don’t like be seen as a place full of scammers in every corner? Then do something about it: Punish scammers so that they think twice before scamming tourists. Alert tourists about the most common scams. Increase the police presence in touristic places.

worst ppl ever , i've been there few times just to relax and have fun with family but seriously the ppl there are lame and greedy

Idiot

Good information

Thanks you are a good guide i am going turkey this week

Still a better city than Paris, in terms of scams and ripoffs !

The people at the spice bazaar or any business having to do with Turkish delights usually always offer many samples for people to try and also they will give you complimentary tea, so you didnt actually get them back. 😂

Hahaha...Cheecky Bastard ( LOL )

Hilarious!! I’m glad you weren’t obnoxious about it❤

Holy Moly! Lots of scams... 😨
