Telenor/Zong is very cheap and fast network in Pakistan why you spend 40dollars When you left the airport, you would later pick up a sim card from a market sim cards are free in Pakistan
Shops on Pakistani Airports are a ripoff because they have to pay rent 10 times more than a normal shop. So just to break even, they have to charge those exorbitant amounts. This rip off actually starts from the top. Thing is, Pakistanis are lovely people but they are curropt to the core, they don't have a choice. From politicians to a street vendor, from teachers to religious scholar, they all do it when presented with an opportunity. They need some character building and to be taught some integrity which most of the teachers and religious scholars lack themmselves.
Sania Mobile owners and Civil Aviation Authority, please take serious note of this video with strict action against the man who scammed this tourist. Nobody should be allowed to get away with this.
Again, a huge thank you to everyone in Pakistan that made this trip what it was. Do you have some questions about my trip or Pakistan in general? Leave them under this photo on my Instagram: instagram.com/p/CASVvAsl2Ah/ Thank you all for watching!
@@123doblo our government already received my complaints but not sure they take action yet. Well if all Pakistanis complaint on city portal hopefully government take fast action
So i went to this store while i was dropping my friend for his flight. I showed them this video and i found out that the guy working there and the owner of that shop has been fined 200,000RS😂😂😂
Sania Mobile ripped off the wrong customer! What a costly mistake! They will lose a lot more in return! Classic example of "penny wise, pound foolish!"
I’m blown away by all the Pakistanis saying they have reported the stand and how embarrassed they are over this. The support this culture has is mind blowing, I’m genuinely impressed and overwhelmed by their actions. The comments alone have made me want to visit this country now.... simply beautiful.
It’s worth it, trust me. One of the best places I’ve ever been. Since it’s so off the beaten path you’ll get a more authentic experience too. I’ll most likely be settling there permanently one day, highly recommend going there, you won’t regret it.
HISTORIAN YOU ARE PRAISISNG THAT COUNTRY WHERE EVERY CHILD IS TAUGHT TO KILL ATLEAST 100 NON MUSLIMS IN THEIR LIFETIME TO GET TO HAEAVEN .IT IS TAUGHT IN EACH SCHOOL
@@MrDEVkaushik buddy your comments are full of hate and everyone can see blind hate, you are from India but dont disrespect my country. Be positive and respect the others, it goes vice versa.
I'm British Pakistani and I'm glad you exposed the scammers just so you know my brother got scammed too on mobile sim purchase so it does go on regularly
Wow, the phone plans in Pakistan are cheap except for this scammer! I had used my American phone on Google FI and it worked fine. And I was never scammed! On the contrary. Very warm hospitality everywhere. Only complaint is that in a couple of public places (Karachi/Lahore) the entrance fees were too high for being a 'foreigner'. But overall a great experience.
Very very cheap. For data only I use a package which costs me 150 rupees (1 dollar) and i can use 2.5GB data for a week. For 50 rupees more I can get 7GB for a week. 7GB for 1.25 dollars is pretty neat. Other call + internet packages cost different.
I went to this exact same shop a few years ago and the exact same thing happened to me, even though I'm a local and he ripped me off as well just because I was in a hurry. This shop needs to close definitely.
zaid ansari, you got ripped a few years back and they are still in business today. Looks like they will be ripping more people if the relevant authority is not doing anything to address this issue.
That's why you need to take action and report them the moment it happens, rather than being silent for years. Not taking action is the result of other people getting scammed and the cycle continues. Now the impression messed up from the bad apples.
Very sorry to hear about this incident and we really apologize for this. But we as an Pakistani happy to see your overall experience in Pakistan was good and memorable. Bad peoples are everywhere. Pls accept apologies from good peoples of Pakistan 🇵🇰
@ mr. who are you to call Pakistan a shithole ? You shouldn't judge the whole country or all Pakistanis for this.Didn't you saw the vloggers comment where he said the positive things in Pakistan take over the negative things by a Million. & there is no country immune to such things. Such things can happen anywhere.Bad ppl exists everywhere. So don't bash Pakistan unnecessarily.
In Brazil a bank called "Safra" is the worst I have ever seen in person. They are the only company that do exchange in Sao Paulo and Rio airports and their rates are absolutely insane.
Whenever you buy a SIM card with data in any country, be sure you ask how to check your balance and do it while at the counter. If they know you're going to check right there, more likely they will be honest.
SaniaMobile. That's how they can ruin whole countrys tourism. People must do some #saniascammerskarachi photos and videos to internet then they maybe shut this down. But I agree wonderful country with wonderful people!

@@LazyIncubuss maybe the best and most simple punishment is just that everyone knows they cheat and they have to close this place. Other punishments are unnecessary and unreasonable.
Lol it was one instance of scamming... why have you just skipped passed all the generosity that people showed and are completely focusing on one scammer? Then having the cheek to call everyone else in that country 'top notch scammers'? Are you stupid or just indian? Most kids in pakistan have more decency than you just displayed. You sound like a idiot
A RB true. There's scammers all over the world, in 3rd world countries and developing countries. Subcontinent is no different. Pakistanis just think they are clean from everything. They are wrong. Pakistan has scammers too, so does Bangladesh and Sri Lanka. But scamming in India is on a whole different level, by far bigger combined the whole of Subcontinent.
Being an INDIAN 🇮🇳 I wish to visit PAKISTAN 🇵🇰 i wish once will be there ❤️ i met beautiful friendly pakistani people in Saudi Arabia they were really amazing ❗️❗️
Scammers are unfortunately in every country and I thank you for opening my eyes to this scam as I have plans on visiting Pakistan sometime after this whole COVID-19 mess is “behind us”. Nick you are a legend and I love your work.
There are numerous mobile franchises (zong is best for data speed but jazz-warid is the best for coverage area) all over Karachi but also from small shops. Sim hardly costs 1 dollar. Data is also very cheap.
Yes please do visit Pakistan after the pandemic. I am sure you won't be disappointed. Pakistanis are very hospitable people but yes there are for sure some bad eggs in every country
Definitely good people everywhere but there are times when you encounter these unfortunate experiences especially traveling on foreign soil. Great to learn more about your experience but hopefully it doesn’t take away from the overall amazing time you had in Pakistan 🙌💯✈️🗺
Hammad Hussain when queen Victoria was queen, she was only queen for wherever England had control. Queen Elizabeth came long after, and now she is queen of England.
Thank you very much for pointing this out! I actually wanted to get a simcard too at Karachi airport when I came in January. Now I am glad I didn’t! When being new in a country, it is hard to know what’s normal and how to get things done. Thanks for sharing! Pakistan zindabad 🇵🇰
Thanks for watching. It could have been just one guy doing this and not all the employees, hopefully the manager sees this and rectifies the issue. Take care. :)
Indigo Traveller yeah true! Hope the manager sees it and prevents it from happening again. Now at least more people will understand the price you paid is not normal and be aware of it! Take care! Love from 🇱🇰🇳🇱
Thanks for pointing it out bud - we have scammers every where in the world but at airports in Pakistan there are many scammers so thanks for pointing it out - it will be shared widely to make sure others will get to know about him.
Hey dumbo ? Why you always compare yourself with European countries or india when it is related to Crime or frauds ?....people like you always play religon card then as Muslim you compate your self with Non muslims? When there is rape you say india has more rapes ... when there is fraud you say europe has more fraud ?
Such a shame that this was the last episode of this Pakistani series. It was amazing trip which we could go through with you thanks to your videos. Now it is a time to see this amazing country for myself. Thank you Nick. Love to Pakistan 🥰🥰🇵🇰
Indigo Traveller yes, of course it was, but I meant that it is bad only because it is the last one from this fantastic country :). Waiting for the boarders to be open for yours and mine further trips, cheers! 🙂
i would recommed huub vlogs if you don't already know about him, he's a Dutch guy who travelled extensively in Pakistan esp northern areas in his camper van & on a low budget, he has lots of useful info for foreigners & tourists
@ocean away. Pakistan is a country of 212 MILLION people and not every one is an angel. Just like any other group, we have our fair share of good and bad people. It's pretty normal, so don't take it to heart.
@@pietrojenkins6901 if his friends find out what did this this tourist he will kicked out but and he won't Imran Khan has void to stop corrupt he has pushed that issue first on his agenda
Loved your series on Pakistan.Looks like a beautiful country.Scammers are in every country its good that you didnt let it ruin your experience.When I go to places around the world its like some people see a walking ATM machine, its only a small percentage who are like that.Stay Safe out there Nick
If he apologizes and stops his wrong doing, perhaps give him one more chance. If he doesn't comform, off with his head. (Just joking about off with his head).
@Rana Ali Akhtar Alam Khan Stop sending your jihadi friends to India to kill innocents... We don't want anything from pakistan... neither your mentality nor your jihadis.
I really appreciated the raw shots of the market. No music, just the natural sound of the city. It was really cool and wouldn’t even mind watching more videos with raw city shots like that. Thank you for making the blog as well! I appreciate you.
I guess these kind of things happen in any country with tourists... at least in Pakistan it seems more to be an exeption than the rule. Crazy 8 times more the price!!!
As a pakistani im feeling sad, hope u come back and explore other parts that u have missed like parts or balochistan, sindh and rural punjab, kp and sorry for that bad experience
4:51 Correction : It's "Empress" market Here's my take about this "scam". Look here in Pakistan we call the shop keepers at Airports "scammers" because they charge you a lot.... A packet of Lays which cost 50 rupees in the market would cost you 200 rupees at these places. So, it's better for both locals and foreigners that they should avoid buying anything at the airports.
@@IndigoTraveller Also, please use common sense, do your research and avoid places like these so we don't end up with a lot of "SCAMMED" videos, as I understand these videos get a lot of videos with the click bait title, but it is not good for the image of Pakistan. Pakistan's already been through a lot and the tourism is just getting better. So to do these videos just for views would be very damaging for us. Thank you.
I normally buy at airport and expect a bit of premium for connivence but I have never been charged 8x for a product that I didn't actually receive. This isn't a case of being over charged. It is a case of being sold something that I didn't receive. I agreed to a price for a product, that is my decision but it is a different equation when the product isn't as advertised.
@@runegaming3122 1. not the videos make a bad picture but the scammers do. 2. nick is not like that. 3. i have not seen many videos with scams in it from pakistan, but india seems to be made of scammers only. so, you are lucky and you can calm down. but the truth must be told, period.

I'm a British Pakistani and in my opinion that Sania Mobile employee has humiliated Pakistanis worldwide, we're not indians, this is not acceptable behaviour in Pakistan. Someone needs to find him and make him return the money. If we want tourism to succeed in Pakistan, this can't happen. Can someone in Karachi find him? We need him to make a public apology and for him to return the money.
He dont known just how cancer drugs imported from india is sold in pakistan for 8x its price by pakistani doctors Afghan nd pakistan comes equal in honesty.
you a much worse than that mobile brand he is talking about. and i guess he is not the only person who has faces to scam your entire country politicians are doing the same thing ripping of middle-class money and then making missile and shit rather than giving this money to the economy to bring down inflation and doing making some infrastructure projects i heard Karachi gives 20% of Pakistan GDP but doesn't have a metro or city bus services this is how your politicians cheat you what is the GBP to pak rs what is the petrol price in pakistan these are a few examples how the Pakistani government is ripping you apart.
@@Max-hb7hg It's very normal for tourists in India to be scammed, in Pakistan we don't do this, it's extremely rare for tourists. Most of the time Pakistanis give tourists special treatment, and many times not even charge them; that's what I meant.
@@chandravideo Yes I know corruption exists in Pakistan and is widespread, just as it is in India, and many other countries. I wasn't talking about this, I was talking about treatment of tourists. In India scamming tourists is very normal and widespread, in Pakistan it is not; that was my point. Pakistan's tourism industry is fragile and these things can not happen.
Nick my brother I'm really sorry for what happened to you on your last day in Pakistan, some people are just too hungry for money and they dont think twice before doing such disgusting things, they surely deserve to be punished for this scam❤
I clicked the like button so fast when you said MashAllah! Not because of the Muslim thing but you just being a good human being and respecting the culture ♥️
Loved these series as always thank you Nick for the great content! Thank you also for showing us every aspect of your trips, showing only the good things is not helpful for anyone ☺️
I have gone through all your video's. Actually it was my project to select any one vlogger who visited Pakistan. Than i have to watch all videos Nd come up with summary You are so much down to earth nd kind. U r so simple. You don't even complain of anything u r amazing
That's unfortunate to see this. I hope there will be some corrective actions from the relevant authorities. I have watched all Pakistan series that you have documented. Amazing videos, wider perspective, and more insightful into the ground realities. Keep doing the good work. My best wishes will always be with you.
Currently 22 dislike this video... No doubt they are affiliated with Sania Mobile... Btw their slogan should be "Sania Mobile, our deals are literally InSania" Total respect from Toronto, Canada to the ballsiest and somehow most chill world traveller on RU-vid
@@IndigoTraveller Hi Nick was just wondering when you fly from places like Pakistan, Afghanistan etc can you fly direct to Hungary or do you have to use multiple flights to get home ?
Array usnay bhi toh shukriya kaha thanks ki jagah @@farwaalii18 that didn't make him Sindhi ki aulad I would say they were both being nice to each other by using the native language of the listener.
Whole Pakistan is very wholesome to all of it's guest regardless of the nationality they belong. People in general, despite many being underprivileged, still won't charge you for basic offerings but sadly here are few assholes here and there (just like in any country but fewer in Pakistan). Airport is not a good place for buying stuff anyway.
Well done on your trip to Pakistan, Indigo Traveller!!!! That was truly interesting indeed!! I would like to see more of these travel videos in the future. But that was quite annoying to be tricked by a scammer to be honest. They do seem to be common sometimes. But an overall good travel to Pakistan nevertheless. :)
I would be willing to bet they have 2 pricing schemes, locals and foreigners. We had issues with Taxis where I live doing the same thing, as soon as they heard a non local language they pushed a different button on the meter that made the price more than triple what a local would pay. When you travel you always need to be aware that people involved in tourism will often try to rip you off. Always make a friend where you travel that can tell you what normal pricing is. There seems to be a prevailing opinion among these people (tourist exploiters) that tourists are stupid, they exploit ignorance and on top of that treat you like you are stupid. You wise up fast when you travel a lot ;)
We give free stuff to tourists, welcome them in our country unlike Americans who literally have no culture of Hospitality. And these "scammers" won't differentiate a Pakistani with foreigner. He would scam a Pakistani who doesn't speak the local language just like he scammed him
@@blackflagsofpakistantheeas9109 "Americans who literally have no culture of Hospitality." You either have not traveled in the US or only went to major cities. Come to where I live and I'll treat you well my friend!
No there no 2 pricing at least in PAKISTAN Even if you came across some locals they will help you free of cost Even if you said them you don't have money they will buy the tickets for you. You haven't seen the whole series Where Pakistani local shopkeeper giving everything free.
Not in pakistan. You can check out the other videos, its just that Pakistani people really respect tourists and give everything free. Check travilight and drew binskies videos. This is probably one in million and if this video goes to higher authorities, they will shut the shop
You are so respectful to everyone and sincere and kind . Thank you for your eye on the parts go through world we would never see. God bores you in your travels .
and especially on local markets - pakistan friend told me that once his Urdu is not perfect anymore people would overcharge him there as well :D . most important thing .. know the prices before you get there !
I'm from India and there are bad people here too, because of them our country is defaming and the same is happening in Pakistan. "If you want to change the world you gotta change yourself first" peace ❤️
um, this is standard in almost every airport I have been too! A seasoned traveller should know this, airports are not where you buy sim cards if you want to pay local rates.
@@adamm9754 not true, seen v high rates in many airports aimed at "tourists". Turkey, Indonesia are two I recall of the top of my head being v high compared to local rates.

Thank you for bringing this to our knowledge. We do have people like this in our country and I will raise my concerns. I will raise my complaint via Pakistan Citizen Portal.
Interesting as always (you know that I love what you do, Nick), we won´t ever be 100% safe from scammers, unfortunately. At least the rip-off was not worse. We learn the way by loosing sometimes (once I paid ~30€ for a bag of rice, i.e.), but nevertheless, keeping the faith in humanity and all the heartful people is what keeps us moving forwards. Your outstanding job that you do in mediating this shows the great value of your videos. Thanks!
I went to Pakistan and it was a beautiful country! Ive also been to Turkey! I love travelling to places that are underrated/seen as dirty or dangerous. Turkey and Pakistan were both my favourite trips, I loved it there more than the other "developed countries" Ive been to (Id go back to Pakistan or Turkey in a heart beat before going back to Germany or Italy)
Sorry to hear about your experience and thanks for mature response from side. I can assure you that this shop will be dealt strictly and more than you expect.
Sorry for the overwhelming experience you had to go through and thank you for pointing this out because I believe the authorities will do something about it.
Hello there I just came across your video and saw this shameful act he did with you I'm so sorry for your loss and I'm glad that you highlighted out in such great manner. Thank you very much for visiting Pakistan and promoting our country we truely appreciated big time stay blessed

Its usually called Shalwar Kameez, Shalwar is like the fabric trousers and Kameez is the long shirt, It very modest, cool inside and no showoff, no matter how rich or poor you are, when you wear white shalwar kameez everyone is same, also like a stylish kameez is called kurta, which would be without the shalwar and instead he is wearing regular pants with a kuurtaa
Thanks for highlighting such handful of people who brought nothing but shame for the entire nation and we should collectively uncover their faces to distance them from the vast majority who are friendly loving and respectful people.
So sad you have to deal with scammer like them. I hope authorities will fix these crooks not a good image at all. Thank you for visiting my first home.
