Typowe oszustwa w Rio de Janeiro, Brazil i jak ich unikać

Oszustwa uliczneCopacabana and Ipanema beaches, crowded buses, city center streets

1. Beach and crowd theft

Jak to działa: Thieves work in groups on Copacabana and Ipanema beaches, grabbing phones, bags, and jewelry while people sleep, swim, or are distracted. Snatch-and-run on streets and buses is also common.

Jak tego uniknąć: Leave passports and valuables at your hotel. Take only cash and an inexpensive phone to the beach, and keep items in front of you.

2. Distraction and pickpocket teams

Jak to działa: One person bumps you, spills something, or asks for help while a partner lifts your wallet, phone, or bag. Often targets tourists with cameras or visible phones on busy streets and at sights.

Jak tego uniknąć: Keep bags zipped and in front of your body. Ignore people who crowd you and step away if someone tries to distract you.

3. Unlicensed airport drivers

Jak to działa: Drivers without official markings approach travelers inside or just outside the terminal with flat 'special' prices well above the meter rate. Some claim the official rank is closed or far away.

Jak tego uniknąć: Walk past unsolicited offers and use only the official taxi rank at the terminal exit. Uber and 99 through their apps are also reliable.

4. Poor-rate exchange kiosks

Jak to działa: Exchange booths in tourist areas advertise eye-catching rates but add large commissions, effective spreads, or minimum fees, leaving you well below the market rate. Some are street changers with fake notes.

Jak tego uniknąć: Use bank ATMs for cash and decline conversion at the terminal. Compare the effective rate including fees before exchanging.

5. Inflated or double-charged bills

Jak to działa: Some restaurants in tourist zones add extra items, round up totals, or present a bill with an odd service line. Bills can be handwritten and hard to verify, especially in busy venues.

Jak tego uniknąć: Check every line of the bill, confirm the total and whether serviço is included before paying. Question any item you did not order.
