Scams: The 2 for 1 Restaurant Voucher Book

Alright - let's talk about scams that people pull off on unsuspecting tourists around the world.
I know many of them - in fact I've even invented some that work and I have then given the victims their money back and a lesson learned.

For this scam all you need is to produce some convincing looking bookets full of discount vouchers that claim to give the user 2 for 1 on meals at various restaurants in the city.
The restaurants are usually well known joints in whatever city this scam is being pulled.
The scammer stops random passers-by and asks whether they would like a booklet of discount vouchers. Eventually someone will stop and have a look. The scam sells itself - remember all scams only work because people want something for nothing i.e. pure greed - usually the person having a look goes to restaurants often and 2 for 1 IS a very good deal.

The list of restaurants is usually made up of quite well known eateries, and this makes it ever the more convincing. There have been known to be scams where all the restaurants mentioned were completely fictitious, but the scam still worked.

The price of each booklet is usually low, and the sale is made by stating that even one voucher will pay for itself in the money saved (c'mon some of the restaurants are 5 star).

There you go, 1 hour, 20 sales - Bob's your uncle and the scammer's off.
