This caught us by surprise and we were expecting some pushy sales in the markets of Cairo; but this scammer met us and was very friendly. He even said to us that we are friends now, welcome to Egypt and be like at home. I took his word honestly and believed in my heart he was happy to just show us around as we were travelling and new to the market. But I did not expect what he was leading us into would be an expensive purchase of products from his shop and that he would get angry if we did not buy.
👉 The oils are good, I am sure they are genuine but its not being allowed to say no that makes it feel like a scam.
Watch out for these scams!

There are much bigger scams going on in other parts of the world, don't worry, your Egypt is very nice place 👌people in Australia for example will try sell you something expensive like a car for $10,000 dollars that maybe need very expensive repair or something? and they will lie to you with a smile. Many danger scams! To buy or not buy some oil in Egypt actually harmless thing. But if you know how sellers behave in Egypt by watching this video you can be more friendly because you don't end up in situation you must buy something you do not want to buy.... you can say yes or no from beginning. But if you want to buy you can buy and make sellers happy in Egypt.

As I'M egyptian I'M sorry for what happend to you, but I can't agree with you about no one can do help for free, it can but who gonna do this? Don't trust some body come to you and guide you to somthing for free bcz he may lead you to some store to get a share of what you gonna buy from there, but if you ask some body walking in Streets for help he will just answer you for free, I know its not the good situation when sombody offer you for somthing for free but later you find its a lie but you have to be aware of those scams and just say thank you n keep walking. Sorry for this again

@samandcameravlog 2 года назад

Oh, thank you friend, it was just something I was not prepared for but by avoiding something you did not want to buy... you can have money for what you do actually want to buy. Egyptian people are very nice people and amazing country 👌

@@ahmedelsisi3563 yeah I went to the Giza area, and I couldn’t trust anyone I met. I never want to go back. That’s my experience, and it’s like that for many many tourists sadly. It’s the tourists areas. I am not labelling all Egyptians.

There are several different vloggers with that same oil man and his shop. Your the only one I've seen get out of there without oils. The only way he gets customers is to guide tourists to his back alley store.

@thereddrumsarerunning8689 Год назад

As a tourist it would nice to just get help without being pressured into giving money in return. Once they start with, Follow Me, that's my cue to just turn away. Just point in the direction or educate the tourist! I've had a group of vendors circle me with their goods all at the same time! After telling them all no, no, no, no, no, no I had to yell out ENOUGH and they got embarrassed. Damn I walked away shaken, sweating and angry and after that every vendor that came at me I showed them my mean mug at them.

Yes exactly.

@erikalulea3608 Год назад

Its not always the case that they want something just because they want to help you. Have been to Egypt 7 times. But in many countries you do not get anything for free. Depends a little bit on the situation to. When you are in market places then what you said probably is mostly true.

@sherifboshra729 5 месяцев назад

Just say no thanks and don’t follow anyone… it’s easy they even try to do it to me as Egyptian when l go on vacation.. it’s not the money it’s just feel uncomfortable it’s worse in Mexico when the offer you a free breakfast and try to sell you a time share that you can’t get out of Lesson one nothing is free …

@Ghaghogha 2 месяца назад

He’s taking food from the buckets with his bare unwashed hands which he has been wiping sweat off his sweaty face and feeding you out of his hands. You guys are eating. Come on. He doesn’t look like the kind that washes hands after using the toilet. That’s okay he pees holding a utensil. He’s clean like that.

@metalgearsolidsnake6978 Год назад

where is the scam???

@samandcameravlog Год назад

The scam is being shown around by someone offering a friendly little tour around, and then being led to a shop to finally buy expensive products where you must buy. Example: Hi there, let me show you around this market today.... where are you from? oh okay, very nice, let me show you around lets be friends. And now I show you my shop. These are my products, how many will you buy? I can gift wrap them for you. This puts you into a difficult situation where saying no becomes rude, and you must buy something you do not want or need to buy.

@metalgearsolidsnake6978 Год назад

@@samandcameravlog nothing as "must buy" it is free will. You can call it rude, but you still have a choice, so in my view this is not a scam.

@dumpmuch 9 месяцев назад

I think the 'scam' was the fact he act like being friendly and help you for free instead of saying he's trying to sell you something. Ofcourse there is a difference between lying and not saying something. In this case its the second one and thats why I understand that people see this more like a 'trick' than a 'scam'@@metalgearsolidsnake6978

@samandcameravlog 2 года назад

Well no, we are effectively homeless and travel to a country with a better conversion rate for cheaper food and accommodation. Its a scam if somebody is pushed to buy something they don't even want to buy. I am proud to purchase things I deem as being essential as I am a minimalist.

@samandcameravlog 2 года назад

It not easy being a nomad 'you know' having no place to call home and living life on the road to share with you my experiences. 15 bucks is a lot of money for me.

I don't see any scam he helped u he guides u he offer u some items to buy and u refuse he didn't do any thing bad to u so where is the problem her By the way 600 pound means 30 dollar it's not a big deal it's very cheap Good luck Egypt is very cheap country u can stay one month as a tourist with 1000 dollars we can't live as Egyptian with same amount in Europe

@TheJuiceor Год назад

they didn't want it and he got very angry

@thereddrumsarerunning8689 Год назад

Then why get angry after you KINDLY tell them you're not buying or interested. Definitely a scam, who would buy from someone that shows anger for not buying.

How many $30 is ok to waste on these people. Do tell us?
