However, no city in the world is entirely free of crime, and London is no exception. There are numerous street scams that visitors need to be aware of. Fraudsters use a range of tactics to steal your cash and \u2013 in some cases \u2013 your identity. Some scams and tricks are as old as anything in the book, whereas others are deviously clever.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, you don\u2019t need to fall victim to any of these scams if you know what to look for.

Unfortunately, London\u2019s tricksters understand and capitalise on this fact. Some people offer discounted tickets to unsuspecting tourists in Leicester Square, but many of those tickets are counterfeit. If it sounds too good to be true, just walk away. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Only buy <a href=\"https:\/\/evanevanstours.com\/attractions\/london-theatre-tickets\/?utm_source=blog&amp;utm_medium=article&amp;utm_campaign=common_street_scams_london\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">theatre tickets<\/a> from licensed vendors (the TKTS ticket booth in Leicester Square is legitimate).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Pickpockets<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.smartertravel.com\/uploads\/2018\/05\/pickpocketproof-clothing-hero.jpg\" alt=\"\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.smartertravel.com\/pickpocket-proof-clothing\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Smart Travel<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>You might assume that pickpockets belong in films such as Oliver Twist. Unfortunately, pickpockets are very real, and they often operate in busy areas such as Leicester Square, Oxford Circus, Trafalgar Square, and the Tube. Keep your belongings hidden in the inner compartments of your bag, rather than in your pockets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Bag-cutting thieves<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/evanevanstours.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/knife-933312_1920-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4719\" srcset=\"https:\/\/evanevanstours.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/knife-933312_1920-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/evanevanstours.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/knife-933312_1920-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/evanevanstours.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/knife-933312_1920-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/evanevanstours.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/knife-933312_1920-270x180.jpg 270w, https:\/\/evanevanstours.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/knife-933312_1920-770x515.jpg 770w, https:\/\/evanevanstours.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/knife-933312_1920.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2018Bag cutters\u2019 are like pickpockets, but they go to greater lengths to steal belongings. Instead of trying to remove possessions from your bag, they\u2019ll cut a hole in the bottom of it and catch the contents in their own bag. Always remain vigilant when visiting London&#8217;s busy tourist attractions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Fake charity collectors<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Nobody wants to say \u2018no\u2019 to a charity collector. Some people play on those feelings of guilt to steal your money. In London, charity collectors are required to carry a permit to work in public spaces. Don\u2019t be afraid to ask for proof before parting ways with your hard-earned cash.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Counterfeit products<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>London is home to an abundance of designer shops, but you probably won\u2019t find genuine luxury goods at markets, such as <a href=\"https:\/\/evanevanstours.com\/blog\/the-best-things-to-do-in-camden-london\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Camden Town<\/a> and other busy places. Some products may appear identical to the real thing, but you need to know what you\u2019re really paying for. For genuine products, head to Bond Street or Regent Street. Don\u2019t avoid London\u2019s markets entirely \u2013 they\u2019re the best places to find vintage and second-hand offerings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Suspicious cash machines<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/evanevanstours.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/atm-959529_1920-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4716\" srcset=\"https:\/\/evanevanstours.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/atm-959529_1920-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/evanevanstours.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/atm-959529_1920-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/evanevanstours.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/atm-959529_1920-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/evanevanstours.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/atm-959529_1920.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Some of London\u2019s tech-savvy fraudsters attach cameras to ATMs to record your card details and PIN number. Another common scam is to replace the card slot with a fake one that acts as a &#8216;skimmer&#8217;. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Once an unsuspecting member of the public inserts their card, the reader scans the details and &#8216;keeps&#8217; the card. The thieves lie in wait nearby for the cardholder to leave the ATM and simply pop the fake card slot out to retrieve the stolen card.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The newspaper trick<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"678\" src=\"https:\/\/evanevanstours.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/newspapers-444449_1920-1024x678.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4717\" srcset=\"https:\/\/evanevanstours.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/newspapers-444449_1920-1024x678.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/evanevanstours.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/newspapers-444449_1920-300x199.jpg 300w, https:\/\/evanevanstours.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/newspapers-444449_1920-768x508.jpg 768w, https:\/\/evanevanstours.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/newspapers-444449_1920-270x180.jpg 270w, https:\/\/evanevanstours.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/newspapers-444449_1920-370x245.jpg 370w, https:\/\/evanevanstours.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/newspapers-444449_1920.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Some of London\u2019s thieves are very daring and seemingly friendly. They might approach you for a bit of chit-chat while subtly placing a newspaper on top of your belongings. When they leave you, they\u2019ll retrieve their newspaper along with your valuables. Avoid keeping your possessions on tables or out in the open.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Fake auctions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>There\u2019s nothing like a mock auction to drive up the price of a product. Fake bidders will stand at street market auctions to generate interest in goods that are actually worthless. Don\u2019t fall victim to such a scheme \u2013 stick to designer stores if you want genuine goods for a fair price.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Contactless card readers<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/evanevanstours.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/retail-store-business-owner-using-credit-card-terminal-picjumbo-com-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4718\" srcset=\"https:\/\/evanevanstours.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/retail-store-business-owner-using-credit-card-terminal-picjumbo-com-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/evanevanstours.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/retail-store-business-owner-using-credit-card-terminal-picjumbo-com-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/evanevanstours.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/retail-store-business-owner-using-credit-card-terminal-picjumbo-com-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/evanevanstours.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/retail-store-business-owner-using-credit-card-terminal-picjumbo-com-270x180.jpg 270w, https:\/\/evanevanstours.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/retail-store-business-owner-using-credit-card-terminal-picjumbo-com-770x515.jpg 770w, https:\/\/evanevanstours.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/retail-store-business-owner-using-credit-card-terminal-picjumbo-com.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the newest scams in London is also one of the hardest to avoid. Scammers target tourists in busy areas with a contactless card reader. They can steal up to \u00a330 from your bank account without you even realising.
