    I had my pockets picked in 2017. Both done in seconds. Wallet with 2p0 euros, brand new iphone. Didnt feel a thing despite knowing who did it. Went looking for them as a Scot I was going to ram their teeth down their throats, but no sign. Reported to police, but despite being told id get to see pics to identify them, thst didnt happen. My fault as usually leave all in safe and only take what I feel is needed for whatever Im doing. Stay safe all

      Hi just to let others know that see this, this is incorrect. I've never used or had Google pay but the theft was still made on Google pay by a scammer hacking my details and downloading the Google app on their device godknows where and pretended to be me making a password etc. It is encrypted but it's able to be used still in this situation as I never had it in the first place I guess that's why the theft worked 🙄

    Hi Kev I got my pocket picked outside of Amanda's two years ago and it was a terrible feeling. I made the mistake of trying to be smart and carried all my money about with me thinking it would be safer to keep it with me and I always tell my friends and grandchildren to keep 50 euros in their sock or trainers just in case it happens to you I always do this now as at least you'll always have taxi money to get home.

    I think a point worth making is if you use google pay or apple pay rather than cash or especially cards (which can get lost or stolen) remember to shut down the phone 'wallet ' you have just had to open up to pay with. Otherwise, someone very close to you in a crowded area could start taking payments from your phone if he has a similar machine to the ones in the bars that you hold your phone up to when you pay.
    If someone steals or you lose your iPhone, there us no chance of them unlocking it. Even the Police cant do that, so its much safer than losing a card . Android ( Samsung) phone are less safe but still pretty good .
    Going out on a night with just enough cash for food and drink plus a bit extra for emergencies eg a taxi to hospital is probably the safest option .

    I'm from Tenerife and I can tell it's a beautiful island. Most people would like to go to the South because of the weather but I warn you: AVOID, I mean AVOID Las Verónicas at night, it's very noisy, too many hooligans and young people drinking like at Magaluf (Ibiza). It's nice and safe by the day but I would reccomend Los Cristianos instead or any other place. I don't mean it's dangerous, of course not, but it's not quiet or nice at night. Don't you go to El Fraile or Las Galletas at night either, they are no safe places. The rest of the island is delightful. Sorry for my English and be very welcome and hope you have a pleasant stay among us.

    I had the"pay for free parking" scam at Santa Cruz, in free parkings at the entrance of the city comming from Adeje/Los Gigantes, when you are a tourist with a rented car (with the company sticker), you'd probably be approached by a "parking gardian" asking a 2€ parking fee.Often an old man dress like a scarecrow.

I will pay via contactless card however before doing the scan action is ay to the member of staff thta i will require a receipt. That way i see what ive paid so can tell if any secret extra fee added at the venue and have the details of the venue should i experience anything untoward and need to consult police authorities etc. Money aside i often see vlogs where ppl say they ask for medium to well done steaks and they come out rare covered in pepper sauce etc. A tip is always to ask for the pepper sauce to be served in a small separate pot. That way first cut into steak you know if its not to your liking and undercooked and can show staff and have it re-done. 😀 keep on vlogging my friend

Please just tell us about the scam in full at the beginning of the video. Then tell us about the interesting facts about the area where you are located. Please do not be offended or insulted by my comments they are not meant to be such. Just an observation. Keep them coming. Thanks.

    Hi Kev, Tenerife in my opinion is the criminal island in the canaries. We had our room robbed in one of the hotels in las America's, it was the staff who took my credit card, passports and Travers cheques, yes I am talking many years ago, but first time that I didn't hire a safe and it's easy for the maid to see if your not using a safe and they just need to look around the room to see what they can find, my insurance would not pay out because there was no sign of a break in. We also lost a camcorder. Many others were getting bags snatched from behind benches. Since then I always use a safe, but I have never returned to Tenerife since. Keep up the good work.

      The problem i found with Tenerife is you have to pay for the safe so that puts of a lot of tourists it should be free like most places in the world.

      And this scam is not fully explained.
      The TLDR version is: if you have Apple Pay on your phone or wear an Apple iWatch *be very careful* or turn off the means to transfer funds electronically from those devices.
      Modern technology makes it very easy and convenient for us to move our money… It also makes it very easy for criminals to take it from us!!

    To be fair the Canary Islands are a lot safer than resorts like Benidorm which have all the problems of a heavily built up area with a lot of crime, muggings, drunken violence etc. You’re much safer in the Canary Islands, towns which aren’t too big and fewer social problems.
