On my trip to Egypt we left the country and went to Jordan and returned to Egypt a second time. I was a pro at all the goings on the second time. We were to be met at the airport the second time for a pick up from our guide we had spent 3 weeks with. He wasn't outside the airport in our pick up spot so we waited. A couple of guys approached us and asked if we were waiting for a ride. We said we were. He said "they probably won't come to get you as it is too hot". I said "they'll be here". He insisted it was too hot and people didn't travel in the heat. He asked who we were meeting and I said my friends who live in Egypt. I could sense the hesitation in their voice when they said "oh, so your friends are local". They figured their scam wasn't going to work. I saw our guide and driver walking along towards us and I told the scammers "here are my friends now". As we'd spent 3 weeks with them we were like great friends in our greeting. I said to the scammers "I told you my friend would be here" and the guys hurriedly left to find more gullible people.

I love watching Scam City where he wants to be the victim of scams. I often wonder how long it would take for me to get my purse stolen from a bag or my husband's wallet from his back pocket in some places. Of course the wallet would be empty. My husband continually says he'd know if someone stole his wallet and I say they are so clever that you would not feel a thing.
