but the only two others I have come across so far is the timeshare guys. They are everywhere and offer you a scratchie card to scratch and see what you supposedly win. The other being a card scam where someone approaches you in street (only when alone by sounds) starts up idle chat, finds out where you're from then claims they have a sister, niece etc travelling there soon to study or by a nurse and perhaps you can come meet her for coffee and tell them what to expect. You apparently are then invited to assist rip someone else off in a card game which inevitably ends with you losing all your money and more. Have read some were even escorted to the bank to clean out their bank accounts.
My advice if it sounds too good to be true - it is!
