I love Rome<\/a>. I could walk the streets every day for the next 20 years and still find new hidden grottos, fountains, chapels. Every gelataria I go to is my new favourite.<\/strong><\/p>\n

But Italy\u2019s capital, like pretty much every major city in the world, has a strong side hustle when it comes to tourists. Some of the scammers are after easy money from people they think are easy targets, while others are genuinely struggling and are just trying to feed their families.<\/p>\n

While it\u2019s nothing to be worried about, it is something to be aware of while you\u2019re exploring. Here are some of the most common scams going on in Rome.<\/p>\n

1. The glamorous man<\/h3>\n

You\u2019ve got to hand it to Rome: nowhere else in the world are the scammers so well dressed. This scam involves a glamorous man (or woman) who pulls up next to you in his car. He\u2019s lost, he\u2019s late and he desperately needs directions. It\u2019s amazing that he asks you for directions to probably the one place you know in the city. He\u2019s so grateful that he offers you a designer coat \u2013 he works for Versace or Gucci, don\u2019t you know?! All he needs now is just a bit of cash to fill up on petrol. He\u2019s being driving around and he\u2019s almost run out. He seems so nice, he\u2019s given you a free coat AND he works for Gucci, so of course, you fork out a few euro.<\/p>\n

There are other variations of this where the glamorous scammer is on foot and offers you a heavily discounted designer jacket in thanks for your directions.<\/p>\n

What to do: <\/strong>Sorry to burst your bubble but he\u2019s not handing you a real designer jacket and you won\u2019t really be getting a bargain. If an impossibly well-dressed local is asking for directions, best to just shrug your shoulders and walk away.<\/p>\n

2. Bus 64<\/h3>\n

Forget about Oliver Twist and Fagan, real pickpockets are impossible to spot. They generally look like nice, ordinary Romans going about their nice, ordinary Roman lives. Bus 64 is a prime pickpocket route. It goes to many of the city\u2019s most visited sites and is often full of distracted tourists.<\/p>\n

What to do: <\/strong>You don\u2019t need to avoid the bus, you just need to be aware of what\u2019s going on around you. The only \u2018tell\u2019 the pickpockets may have is a jacket draped over their arm to disguise their wandering hands. Keep your valuables zipped up and where you can see them.<\/p>\n

3. Romeo rats<\/h3>\n

This one is for the ladies. There\u2019s a certain group of Roman men nicknamed pappagallo<\/em>\u00a0which means \u2018parrot\u2019. That\u2019s because they can be found most days in the same tourist spots feeding the same lines to ladies who look like they\u2019re by themselves or in pairs. They start simply by asking the time and then ask you a few casual questions to establish whether you\u2019re Italian, living in Rome or just passing through. These guys are incredibly disarming. They are smooth as gelato alla crema<\/em> and before you know it you\u2019ve agreed to meet up with them for dinner. You may have a fabulous time with your pappagallo<\/em>; they are outrageous flirts and will make you feel like the only woman in the world. The reality is you will never ever hear from them again and they\u2019ll be back at the same tourist spot the next day looking for a new love to woo to bed.<\/p>\n

What to do: <\/strong>Give them the time, but don\u2019t give them the time. Wink.<\/p>\n

4. Roses, bracelets and beautiful things<\/h3>\n

This one is common throughout Europe and has plenty of variations. Basically, someone, often a kid, will hand a woman rose and then turn to the man she\u2019s with and ask for money. The man then looks bad if he refuses to pay and it\u2019s almost impossible for the woman to hand the rose back. The reason it works so well is that the kids usually only ask for a small amount of money. The guy thinks it\u2019s not worth the fight so they pay up.<\/p>\n

Another version involves friendship bracelets or rings. These are offered to the woman for free and tied on her wrist in a way that\u2019s impossible to get off. While that\u2019s happening someone comes up and ties one on to the guy, presumably for \u2018free\u2019. He doesn\u2019t argue. Once it\u2019s on, the new \u2018friend\u2019 asks the guy for money for the second one.<\/p>\n

What to do: <\/strong>Don\u2019t accept things from strangers. It will never be for free.<\/p>\n

5. No menus in the house<\/h3>\n
\"Diners

When you\u2019ve been walking around all day, all you want is a big fat bowl of pasta and a carafe of the house wine. When you finally find a restaurant, choose a spot and sit down, you might be surprised to hear they\u2019ve run out of menus. That\u2019s ok, you know a few Italian words, so you order something simple. The rub comes when you pay the bill and find it is about twice what you expected. You can\u2019t argue, because you ordered it. So you have to cough up.<\/p>\n

What to do: <\/strong>If there are no menus in the house ask to see the prices (posso vedere i prezzi<\/em>), or get up and find another restaurant. Also, just as a side note, if you see a little asterix next to a menu item it may indicate that it\u2019s a frozen packaged meal. Have a look for fine print at the back of the menu.<\/p>\n

6. Check your coins<\/h3>\n

It\u2019s been a while since the Lira was out and the Euro was in, but that hasn\u2019t stopped some vendors doing a little switcheroo. The 500 lira coin is remarkably similar to the 2 euro coin.<\/p>\n

What to do: <\/strong>Always count your change to make sure you haven\u2019t been short or wrong-changed.<\/p>\n

7. Fake police<\/h3>\n

In Rome, shops are meant to hand out receipts as a record of tax collection. There are actual real police to check this, but unfortunately, they\u2019re often plain clothed and some scammers take advantage of this. When you leave a shop they\u2019ll ask to see your receipt. They\u2019ll then tell you there\u2019s a problem with it and give you an on the spot fine.<\/p>\n

What to do: <\/strong>Don\u2019t get worried if someone in plainclothes approaches you. Just ask for their badge or identification. You can tell them you want to call the police hotline to verify their identity (call 113 or 112). Finally, if they insist, say that you\u2019ll only pay it at a police station.<\/p>\n

\"Travellers

There are some other scams that are worth a special mention:<\/strong><\/p>\n

8. The stranger who offers you free tickets to a club \u2013 where you\u2019ll be charged \u20ac1,000 for your drinks<\/p>\n

9. Illegal taxis who charge for \u2018extras\u2019. Make sure you get a cab from an official stand; don\u2019t hail one on the street.<\/p>\n

10. The stranger who shoves grain in your hand, whistles and calls the pigeons onto you. They take a photo and then ask for money. Just walk away.<\/p>\n

With the good (and there is so so so much good), comes a certain amount of dodgy, but don\u2019t let that put you off. Rome is an incredible city with many amazing things to see.<\/p>\n
