1. Rental Motorcycle and Car
Who does not feel like driving between the sea on one side and the dense forest on the other side? Goa is full of rented cars and bikes. So what is the harm in taking a rental car or motorcycle? Let's understand. Sometimes you will be given a bike or car rental which will already have a dent and while returning the car, you will be charged money even for those dents which you have not done.
Take a photo of the car and make a video of the entire vehicle in front of the shopkeeper.
2. Jewelery Shopping
I was shocked to see this cheating method and this type of swindle is not limited to Goa only. A good looking businessman will ask you to take some gems for your own country in exchange for thousands of dollars. A woman from Australia lost 65,000 dollars by getting caught in such a trap.
Tell such people to get away from yourself with decency. If you are still harassed, then say that you will complain to the police. Here is the list of Goa Police numbers.
3. One of the main formulas of the elephant-bound Sadhu-Bharata tour is 'Stay away from Sadhu Babas'. All sadhus are not sly, but it is best to stay away from them. You will see monks carrying elephants around the beaches of Kalunget and Kandolim in Goa. Yes, such sadhus will tell you that all your sins will be washed away by being photographed with the elephant and as soon as you are photographed, you will start to work thick Dakshina.
Turn your face as soon as you see the monk and the elephant together. If there is a collision anyway, politely refuse.
4. You will need internet to keep in touch with family at attractive deal house on sim card and put photos and videos on instagram. Goons of Goa know this and they will sell you a false deal by showing them vegetables.
Buy prepaid sim from authentic store of mobile network company. Some of India's largest mobile networks such as Airtel, Vodafone, Idea, BSNL and Reliance Jio provide good facilities.
5. Purchase brokerage
Looking for inexpensive wine, genuine Indian costumes, and memorabilia gifts? In such a situation, it would be a big mistake to ask the taxi or rickshaw driver about the right shop. Taxis and rickshaw drivers are tied to these shops, restaurants and hotels. When these people take you to the shops, understand that you will always have to pay more. After all, shopkeepers have to give their brokerage as well.
Consult your hotel or hostel employee / receptionist to buy something you like. Google can recommend some reliable shops. You can also consult the tourists who have spent a long time in Goa.
Are you cheated in Goa too? Would you advise tourists like you to avoid cheating?
