Everywhere there are good and bad people.


Some of the little scams that some people have suffered.


  1. Some local administrations such as small town halls have wanted to make a certificate in exchange for money.
  2. The thefts of which I am aware have been white glove , I mean , in the extra cost of a service to a foreign citizen . From the change of a lock, to the management of a manager.
  3. Be careful with giving out the phone number on social networks, advertisements, etc. They are the nest of subsequent attacks via SMS
  4. I have experienced the theft of personal data, including disclosure of my image on social networks
  5. In some supermarkets the buyer behind you has tried to put his purchase on the ticket. (This happened to me personally with a famous supermarket.

In some shopping centers some people could try to copy your credit cards via (bluetooh), their method needs to get very close to your backpack, they do it in a stealthy way.

Use Rfid blockers to protect yourself.
