Why would you waste time of spice bazaar workers to revenge Taksim scammers?
This is like harassing Chicago hot-dog sellers as a revenge of New York street scammers 😆

I have been there once, I will never step back to this country again, a lot of scammers .

Nothing good ever comes from a man approaching you on the street.

The sweet bazaar are not scammers. What you did to them is not ethical. Even if their prices are high. You can buy or not buy.

[interstellarcowboy]

If they approach you and ask: what you are doing you should say: I am going to my friends in the hotel and they let go usually, I was alone on istiklal and they noticed me easly but I was hella prepared 👽

I live in Istanbul. Do not enter uncrowded places. Do not shop at the Spice Bazaar( MISIR ÇARŞISI) or the Covered Market(KAPALI ÇARŞI). Always do your shopping from chain markets. From Migros, A-101, BİM, ŞOK markets. Just wander around and enjoy.
Keep it: "All Muslim Countries are like this".

The people at the spice bazaar or any business having to do with Turkish delights usually always offer many samples for people to try and also they will give you complimentary tea, so you didnt actually get them back. 😂

What i heard from hotel reception is if you get a high rate from the taxi, you can bring them to the reception to discuss the rate, the reception will be able to tell you whether it is real/scam rate. Dont sit in the front when driver asks you to.

Is it true that you can be scammed anywhere but it’s also a fact that chances to be scammed as a tourist are higher in Turkey than any other place in the world.

Turkish people don’t like be seen as a place full of scammers in every corner? Then do something about it: Punish scammers so that they think twice before scamming tourists. Alert tourists about the most common scams. Increase the police presence in touristic places.

At the bazaar it's not like they were trying to scam you.... Just offering samples. Of course their prices are higher than a local bakery etc, cause of location, (they also pay massive amounts of rent) but it's like a buy or don't buy thing. The scamming promoters on the other hand, those are the ones you should had seeked revenge from.

I was scammed by a crooked Istanbul taxi driver, who charged me 100% more with the excuse that he had to drive longer distance bc the short one was full of traffic.

[liamaxwell]

Hilarious!! I’m glad you weren’t obnoxious about it❤

[peterpan]

اكثرهم نصابين لانه حصل معاي شخصيا، عقب ما تدخل الملهى ايبولك جاي وانت ماطلبته ، اذا بتمشي قالك وين لحساب ، حساب شي انت ماطلبته

[Fastcheetah]

[patrickgrady]

Still a better city than Paris, in terms of scams and ripoffs !

[robertowen]

We saw a woman in a Burqa operating as a pickpocket with a young Male child on the Hippodrome area near the Blue Mosque.

[amitabhdas]

scamming back is not a good idea. all turkish ppl are not bad.

[Javi-ez]

I have been there once, I will never step back to this country again, a lot of scammers 😅

[Ogannes-suzx]
