latest scam from Tbilisi/Georgia
If you walk out from one of the foreigners expensive hotels even at afternoon be carefuly how you are crossing the street.
even there are no so many pedestrians crossings ,so almost all peoples are crossing carefuly the streets.
but Police is watching foreigner peoples to stop them and ask for documents.
1. Dont handle out your passport tell them it is at the hotels reception and what you have done to be asked and stopped for crossing the street as all peoples does.
they tell you you have to come with them to inspection becsuse they filmed you that you crossed the street incorrectly, the next pedestrian was 200meteres away.
I just explained with my arms and hands that this is my first stay in beautiful tbilisi and their nice country and I'm very sorry for not having looked around.
he wanted still take me away but after 20 minutes of talking each other which no one understood the other he let me go.
not a very nice first impression in a country where the corrupt police want to cheet scam you.
be careful in this ex-soviet countries
