    Beware--Scams while traveling.

    The Telegraph in London made a list of the twelve most common scams pulled on travelers.

    I could have fallen for several.

    Are people in the UK really that gullible for those easy to spot scams?

    For the record, I traveled through Europe and UK and never had a single problem.

      Pickpockets are a real problem in many European cities. So are bag thefts.

      In some respects, Americans are easy marks because we have a reputation abroad for being friendly.
