Catfishing Scammers in Sri Lanka

I find out just how easy it is to bump into tourist scammers in Colombo, Sri Lanka. I met one within minutes of walking down a street in the Fort area. Rickshaw drivers and street hustlers stroll the streets all day looking for foreigners to rip off. Do not go anywhere with strangers on the street!
