Viral Reddit Post: A foreign tourist’s post on Reddit has started a big debate online after he shared his bitter experience in India. The traveller, who mentioned in the comments that he is from Switzerland, said that within just two days of his trip, he came across several scam attempts that left him upset and questioning whether he would ever suggest India as a travel spot to anyone. In his post, he explained that it was his second visit to India and he was excited about the energy and new experiences. But things changed when an Uber driver allegedly misled him by saying the road was blocked due to a landslide and took him to a hotel where people tried to overcharge him.

The tourist refused to fall into the trap and managed to get another taxi, but the experience ruined his plans for the night. Sharing his frustration, he wrote, “I would not tell my mom, my sister, or my friends to come here. It’s just so many scams going on and many people have bad intentions towards you.”

His strong words quickly went viral, with some internet users agreeing with him and others pointing out that scams are common in many countries and that precautions are always necessary.

The post garnered significant likes, comments and views from Reddit users. One user wrote, "Bro they are ready to scam their fellow countrymen, what makes you think they won't scam you? For them you are just a rich customer with little knowledge." "There is zero law enforcement across all sectors. No one is scared and everyone can get away paying a small bribe if they are caught," a second user wrote.

"There are too many people there with minimal resources. People scamming others is, unfortunately, just an everyday thing. It's just a way of life, but on the other side, there are a ton of really good people, too," wrote a third user. "Sorry for your experience, mate!! If it’s any consolation, we fellow Indians are not immune to these scams either," added a fourth user.

"As an Indian, we also suffer these experiences. Sad pity for the people who have to go through this pain," added another user. "Dear brother, as an Indian myself, I wouldn't recommend anyone to visit my country. People are uncivilised and have no sense of decency. They fight over languages and religion and caste. India is beyond saving. Sorry for your poor experience," added another user.
