Scammers of Morocco

Submitted by anon 1 (Morocco), Feb 28, 2013 at 06:25

Dear Mesfiwi, your comments are so true .

There are many good and honest Moroccans but not many are found in the tourist areas.

Scamming tourists seems like a national sport here.

Not just the love scams.

Imagine shopping in New York ,Paris or London and knowing that there is a higher price for tourists . Other Moroccans stand by while tourists are ripped off in the souqs .

Families and friends don't seem to question how their unemployed sons/daughters obtained the latest i phone /computer or scooter or Money.

Internet cafe's are full of these scammers.

The people of Morocco are the only people who can make this change.

Morocco is a beautiful Country ,the people are friendly and kind .But in my opinion Moroccans rich and poor put too much value on money and worldly goods.
