Question

Accepted Answer

Step 1: Get to safety — decline politely and walk away. Step 2: If money was taken by fraud, call 110 (police) within 24 hours — card chargebacks need the police report. Step 3: For credit-card fraud, call your bank's international collect-call number to freeze the card. Step 4: Report to the National Tourist Complaint Hotline: 12301 (24/7, English available).
