Synopsis

You can't stop being a foreigner. You can stop being the product.

Every tourist city on Earth runs the same performances: the rigged meter, the friendship bracelet, the jet ski with a scratch you didn't make, the "policeman" who needs to inspect your wallet. They work because arrival day leaves everyone off-balance — and off-balance is exactly what's being harvested.

The Scam-Proof Traveler is the field guide:

- Every arena, from airport to ATM to hotel desk to beach — and the specific cons that live in each one
- The long cons: fake police, gem scams, the bar bill that becomes a hostage negotiation
- The Five-Second Walkaway that defeats nearly all of them without a confrontation
- The Local-Price Reflex: how to stop broadcasting "tourist tax accepted here"
- Country-specific briefings for the most-scammed destinations, verified against official travel advisories
- The first-hour playbook for the day a crowd gets your wallet: what to cancel, call, and replace, in order

Told story-first, so you recognize the setup while it's still a setup. Every fact sourced. No paranoia — the world is mostly people who'll walk you three blocks to help. This book makes the exceptions cost you nothing.
