Seems like the "gold ring scam" is being mentioned a lot but just wondering if anyone, especially in London has heard or read about the "palm reading scams" going on there. I guess there are many scams going on everywhere of course but if anyone has encountered or read in the papers particularly about the palm reading scams happening, please post that information. (from first post on this thread.) My friend's daughter is just 23, an American college student and it was her first visit to London, England. She had never traveled alone before and had never encountered this situation even in the huge city of Los Angeles. The best way that she could describe the man was that he wore a turban on his head and did look like he was West Indian.
Maybe he was not West Indian but I am trying to find out about the "palm reading" scam and how prevalent it is in London, England and not other scams at the moment.
