Safety and scams to avoid

• Sword-seller / "name carver" scam

  Nadi town streets & markets

  A friendly man strikes up conversation, asks your name, then quickly carves it into a wooden sword or mask and demands a high price for the "gift".

  How to avoid it: Politely decline and do not give your name or accept any item; walk away firmly.

• Overpriced "duty-free" hard sell

  Nadi town duty-free shops

  High-pressure electronics and jewellery shops quote inflated prices and discourage comparison.

  How to avoid it: Compare prices, insist on printed receipts and warranties, and never feel pressured to buy.
