Last year, I went backpacking across Africa and ended my safari in Egypt. I had planned to visit the giant pyramids before heading back home for my second college semester. I enjoyed everything in Egypt, and I loved the hot and humid air, as well as the rich cultural heritage of the residents of Cairo. However, I will never forget that despite all the excitement I found in Egypt, I also got scammed. The event occurred when I met a friendly and absolutely beautiful girl one afternoon when I was touring the pyramids. We started talking, and she appeared very interested in some of my personal details such as the hotel I was staying, the room number, and when I would go back to the hotel. Charmed by her friendly nature, I did not hesitate to tell her such information for I did not think there was any harm to tell her.

Later that evening, we parted ways, and I went back to the hotel. It was not until I went back to the hotel that I got a rude shock after realizing my room had been broken into and some of my valuable stuffs stolen! The hotel receptionist told me that a lady claiming to be my girlfriend asked for the spare keys to my room. In addition, since the lady knew my full names, date of birth, and other personal information about me, the receptionist consented to offering her the spare key to my room. It is at that point that I realized that the friendly lady that I had spent my afternoon with was a con artist and I had fallen for her scam.
