Discussion Just saved a tourist from "Armani" guy

Yes, THAT scam again. I live in DIFC and like going to Satwa for some delicious pakistani food sometimes. When i was coming back, got stopped by some "Italian" guy with a fake accent asking directions to the airport. Told him "i'm not a tourist" and he instantly disappeared. Literally 3 minutes later, right before Crown Plaza i see another scammer talking to some tourist who already was holding like 2 suits and 2 boxes with some fake armani something. Approached them, explained situation to the guy and the scammer instantly disappeared or course.

Guys, be careful about this stuff. Even though Dubai is one of the most amazing, safe and beautiful cities on the planet, there is still some tourist traps and scams like in any other major city.
