小心機場免稅商店

時有耳聞關於「泰國國際機場」的種種怪異行徑，現在竟然連機場免稅商店都有問題。其實無論到哪一個國家，免費的東西還是不要隨便拿比較好，真的！
請把這封信傳遞給經常在外地旅行的朋友！
一名印度人被關押在曼谷，因為他在曼谷國際機場免稅店偷一條箱香煙。他買了巧克力和一條香煙，收銀員卻在他的袋子放了一包香煙，他以為這是免費贈品。但他卻被逮捕，他涉嫌店鋪盜竊，泰國警方勒索價格 30000泰銖才釋放他。他在監獄裡被關了兩晚並且支付500泰銖做為冷氣空調費用，每個探訪者另外收取200-300泰銖，最後以11,000泰銖釋放。警方在他面前刮分了他繳交的錢。他在法庭上被指控，罰款2000泰銖，並戴上手銬，驅逐出境。
他的護照被蓋上“小偷”的字眼。他的親友要求印度大使館的協助，但卻被告知，他們很無奈也無能為力，這種情形，每天在泰國機場上演，許多亞洲人都同樣受害，而每天無數的信件和電話，都被泰國當局忽略。有一個新加坡人，在被關的第一個晚上，支付了60,000泰銖後被釋放。第二個晚上，另一個馬來西亞人，支付70,000泰銖後被釋放。   
提醒你：這不是發生在曼谷市中心的簡陋店鋪，而是發生在曼谷國際機場免稅商店。所以 - 被警告！以上是千真萬確的訊息，因為印度客戶 Rajan Khera在過境曼谷國際機場前往台北的時候，面臨完全相同的情況。
有人在杜拜國際機場，也經歷了同樣的事情。他免稅商店買東西，有位女孩放了一瓶香水在他的購物袋（他甚至沒有看到是什麼時候發生的）。他因此涉嫌盜竊。他坐在機場監獄，他被騷擾了整整一天。沒有食物，沒有水，有一天，在他交了罰款（行賄美金500)。這是當時他的口袋裡所有的現金，他們才讓他走。這種詐騙行為，每天在各地發生。請小心！這些歹徒預先計劃這一切而且串通機場工作人員，尋找下一個下手的目標。令人難以置信吧！免稅店員工以詐騙乘客行為，增加自己額外的收入。請隨時收好購物收據，對於任何國際機場免稅店給的免費禮物，也請小心，請他註明在收據上。
To Duty Free Shoppers
PASS IT ON TO YOUR FRIENDS WHO TRAVEL A LOT! Read ahead...
An Indian was detained in Bangkok for stealing a box of cigarettes in a duty-free shop in Bangkok International Airport . He had paid for chocolates and a carton of cigarettes. The cashier put an extra pack of cigarettes into his bag and he thought it was a free pack. He was arrested for shop-lifting and the Thai Police extortion price was 30,000 Baht for his release.
He spent two nights in jail and paid 500 Baht for an air-conditioned cell, 200-300 baht for each visitor and 11,000 baht for his final release. The Police shared the money in front of his eyes.
On top of that, he was charged in court and fined 2,000 baht by the magistrate and handcuffed and escorted to his plane.
His passport was stamped "Thief". While there, his relatives requested help from the Indian Embassy and was told that they are helpless, and many Asians are victimized similarly daily and letters and phone calls to the Thai authorities are ignored. He shared a cell with a Singaporean the first night who paid 60,000 baht for his release. The second night was a Malaysian national who paid 70,000 baht.
Mind you this was not in a shanty shop in downtown Bangkok but in a duty-free shop at the Bangkok International Airport . So - BE WARNED! The above is 100% correct information because Mr. Rajan Khera's customer from India faced exactly the same scenario mentioned above when he was in transit at Bangkok Int'l Airport going to Taipei .
Someone went through the same ordeal in Dubai . He bought stuff at the duty-free shop upon entering. The girl at the duty-free shop put a bottle of cologne in his shopping bag (he did not even see it happen). He was arrested for stealing (this is before he even picked up his luggage). He sat at the airport jail where he was harassed for the whole day. NO FOOD, NO WATER for one day and only after he paid a fine (bribe of US 500...). That was all the cash he had in his pocket at the time. They let him go. These are scams that are happening all over the place. Please BE CAREFUL! All of this is pre-planned and the people who work at the airport know who to target.
UNBELIEVABLE BUT APPLY CAUTION....duty-free employees intentionally put extra items to scam passengers. ALWAYS TAKE A RECEIPT FOR ANY FREE GIFT THAT THE DUTY FREE SHOP GIVES. PLEASE BE CAREFUL AND WATCHFUL WHEN YOU ARE BEING BILLED AND ITEMS PACKED AT INTERNATIONAL AIRPORTS (DUTY FREE SHOPS)
