scams
Visitors to Great Yarmouth should be aware of scams. In 2008, several people have fallen victim to a scam where a gypsy from the Yarmouth 'traveller' camp stops in a car to talk to a pedestrian. Once gaining the attention of the victim, she points out her distrought state and tells the victim that a relative has died and that she needs money for fuel to get to some far off location. The con artist also often has a small baby with them at the time. This scam has been noted around the industrial estate where the 'traveller's' site is situated and the town centre.
