Unofficial 'Helpers' at Baggage Claim: Individuals may approach offering to help with luggage, then demand excessive payment. Avoid: Politely decline unsolicited help and use official airport porter services with visible ID badges, or handle your own luggage.

Fake Taxi Drivers: Unlicensed drivers may approach inside the terminal claiming to be legitimate taxis, often charging inflated rates or taking unsafe routes. Avoid: Only use official metered taxis from designated ranks outside the terminal, or pre-book through verified ride-sharing apps or your hotel.

Currency Exchange Scams: Unauthorized money changers may offer 'better rates' but use sleight of hand, provide counterfeit notes, or shortchange you. Avoid: Only exchange currency at official airport exchange bureaus or ATMs, and verify all notes before leaving the counter.
