Hi everyone,
Just can across these stories and thought it might be useful for everyone who's travelling, mostly about scams in Barcelona but i've found it very usual Scams in Barca!.
Maybe TP should have a sticky thread with a list of scams going around

Hehehe.. I read that before going to BCN, and I'm glad I did... My bike tour leader also warned us about this one... someone tried it on me at Barceloneta beach:

2 young men walked up to me, smiling, one guy wearing a nylon sports outfit, and started to say something regarding "Futbol", which got my attention since I play soccer and know that soccer is really popular in Spain. He proceeded to show a soccer-like move (a ball-dribble move), which put his body close to mine. This quickly alerted my instincts, as well as my friend. In a matter of seconds, I saw my wallet dangling from my jeans.

Edited: just realized that story is in the thread SV pointed out..
