I've never fallen for bad scams luckily but I fall for little ones sometimes. Like once I was entering the subway in a country where I didn't speak the language and this guy coming the other way said the trains were cancelled, so I asked how do I get to X place, and he's like "Oh, my friend has a taxi company, come with me and I'll sort you out". I was just about to follow him when I came back to my senses. Obviously there was nothing wrong with the trains and he was trying to fleece a tourist... or kidnap a woman, but I'll give him the benefit of the doubt.
