travel scam
Mr. Douding liked to take advantage of others. Initially, he only took small advantages, but as time went on, he became more ambitious. He thought, “How wonderful it would be if one day I could travel around the world without spending any money!” People laughed at his foolishness, but he didn’t think his idea was ridiculous at all.
A swindler heard about this and came to find Mr. Douding.
The swindler said, “I have good news. There’s a way to travel around the world without spending a penny. Would you like to participate?”
Mr. Douding was very happy to hear this. “Ah! What great news! Why didn’t you tell me earlier? Please tell me how I can do it.”
“It’s very simple. Just give me your personal information, and I will sign you up. Two days later, I will bring you all the documents and tickets you need, and then you can go on your trip. But there are limited spots, so I need to act quickly on your behalf.”
“Okay, okay, I’ll give it to you right away.” Mr. Douding took out his personal information and gave it to the swindler.
At this point, the swindler said, “Sir, you see, as the intermediary, shouldn’t you give me a 500 yuan agency fee?”
Mr. Douding thought about it and felt that compared to traveling around the world, a 500 yuan agency fee was insignificant. So he opened his wallet and gave 500 yuan to the swindler.
The swindler took the money and the information and left, reassuring Mr. Douding not to worry, that he would have an answer in two days.
Mr. Douding waited for two days. The swindler came back and brought a beautifully packaged box to Mr. Douding, saying, “Here are your documents and tickets. Please keep them safe. Everything you need to know is in the instructions inside. But sir, traveling inevitably involves eating and sleeping, so they charge a certain fee for accommodation and meals, about two thousand yuan. I paid it for you, so you need to reimburse me.”
Mr. Douding thought about it and felt that since the trip was free, the money for accommodation and meals was a small price to pay. So he gave the swindler two thousand yuan. The swindler took the money and slipped away.
When Mr. Douding eagerly opened the box, he found it contained a world map. The swindler had written on a piece of paper: “Dear Mr. Douding, you can travel around the world without spending too much time. Wish you a pleasant journey!”
