how much
100 is okay not 200.
well Chuck tooks motorbikes taxis all these classical scams we know about them but today
I'm going to tell you five new scams in Thailand that is so dangerous and I was like this much
away to get scammed from one of them [Music] here now my friends before I talk about the
five new scams let me update you about the two classical scams that is happening nowadays
in Thailand one of them is the taxi and the second one is the Grand Palace let me tell
you what are the updates
[Music] we all know that taxis work on meter in Bangkok and most of the taxis they follow
the rules but some of them wants to jump in they don't want to turn the meter but nowadays
there is another scam they turn on the meter and along the way they tell you that the meter
is broken so that you have to pay a specific amount so be careful always once you jump
into taxi that the meter is always working that's an update about the taxi scams in Bangkok
[Music] this is one of the main entrances of grand palace and it's only three minutes
walk from Sanam chai station the MRT underground station now what's happening that there are
lots of tuk-tuks around these historical places and especially next to the public transportation
and once you go out and ask where is the Grand Palace they will tell you most of them not
all of them that the Grand Palace is close and we can take you somewhere better more
entertaining so this is a complete scam [Music]
[Music] so my advice to you once you arrive to Sanam chai station the underground train
station walk is only three minutes and if you don't know how to walk from the MRT Station
till the main entrance of grand palace then use Google Maps or maybe ask a tourist not
a tuk-tuk driver check these taxes and tuk-tuks a lot of them these days around the famous
landmarks so I hope you can use my tips and have a beautiful vacation in Thailand [Music]
well those were the updates about the classical scams now let's talk about the new five trending
scams in Thailand which some of them are so dangerous you might lose all of your money
and as I said I'm gonna tell my story at the end of this vlog [Music]
look at this guys it's so cool so this is also one of the new ways to explore Bangkok
and the historical places with these cool buses alright listen to the first one you
arrived to survum airport and of course you buy a SIM card you get connected and you go
to your hotel after a couple of hours maybe one or two day you will get a phone call yes
no one knows your number but you will get a phone call so what's the story foreign
so you might answer this phone call and they will tell you this story you have a parcel
registered and they have your phone number you might say it's a wrong number but they
will insist and tell you that this parcel belongs to you everything has paid and it's
under your phone number so where is the scam the scam is that you will pay a little bit
money in order to get that parcel that is the request and their scam you might say it's
only 100 200 300 but let's pay it and see what's the parcel then you will pay and there
is no parcel it's total scam my advice to you don't answer no one has your phone number
and who's calling that's the first trending scam these days in Thailand continue [Music]
now the second one is also connected to your phone number you will get an SMS and this
is very dangerous why because once you open this SMS or this message an application will
be downloaded to your phone and it will take all your data and here you can lose all your
money because they can get your password your security numbers and in this way you will
get the price foreign
[Music] so my advice to you if you get any SMS don't click on it because it could be
a big scam and you might lose all your money
[Music] foreign [Music] or let's say the trending scam is the online bookings so people are
going online and booking a lot of things because they are affordable but unfortunately they
are booking from unofficial fake sites so what's happening for example you see a villa
a pool Villa a party a hotel and you see the price is so affordable so you book it and
once you go there there is Novella no party no Hotel it's totally scam so guys my advice
to you don't book anything from unofficial sites always book your things from official
sites and I am sure you will get what you pay for it foreign
[Music]
well my friends now here we come to my story and that is the YouTube scam of course lots
of you watch YouTube channels and now you are watching this video and you will comment
and once you comment there will be scammers replying to your comment using our logos and
telling you to contact them they will give you numbers SMS telegrams and in this way
you will think that it's me or it's another YouTuber want to contact you so what happens
yo
[Music]
this person this scammer will ask you how do you find my channel do you like my videos
and after that he will tell you to make a donation for example lately I've contacted
one of them and they told me to make donation for the earthquakes in Syria in Turkey so
I started to talk with him and I was this much away to make a donation
close it out so what's my advice to you once you comment on a channel and especially on
official channels like live love Thailand always check that the reply on your comment
is official for example if I reply to your comment there will be a tick next to my reply
telling you that this is an official reply so be careful if you see my logo or any logo
without a tick then it's a scam
thank you foreign
[Music]
thank you
[Music]
as you saw besides the classical scams nowadays there are these new scams and mostly connected
to the internet or to your phone so once you get any calls any SMS or any donation request
don't do it because they are scams and of course don't book things from unofficial sites
always book from official sites and I am sure you will get what you are paying for I hope

classical scams Bangkok thank you for watching stay tuned And subscribe for more from live
