I think this is just normal. I felt the same way traveling in Europe. I think it’s just the combination of being in an unfamiliar place and standing out as a traveler. A lot of scammers target travelers intentionally.
Yeah, scammers always go for the easy targets. Locals will know the scams, are more likely to call the cops on them or have friends to back them up. Foreigners in “holiday mode” are much easier. Same as online scammers who are targetting idiots who still believe in Nigerian princes, smart people with their guard up are not worth the time.
