Travelling hasn’t exactly been sweet and creamy for TikTok user Eclair_travels recently.
After getting pickpocketed during a trip to Paris earlier this month, the Singaporean has revealed how he and some travel companions were scammed out of US$3,000 (S$4,200) at a pottery centre in Cappadocia, Turkey.
"Oldest trick in the book yet we fell for it. Joke's on us," he said in the captions of a TikTok clip uploaded on Tuesday (Sept 6).
In the video, Eclair said the pottery centre in question – Bezirhane Culture, Arts and Ceramics Centre – was part of a private tour recommended by his hotel.
As it is rated one of the "top few hotels in Cappadocia", he and his group did not suspect anything amiss about the private tour. They also had an assigned guide whom they trusted after having spent a few days with him.

"Our guide was a master of believable storytelling," Eclair said, adding that the man shared "intricate stories" of how Covid-19 had severely impacted his family-run business.

However, at the pottery centre, he alleged that the guide worked with a "huge team", and that there were even fake tourists on hand to make it seem like visitors were getting the best deals.
The travellers were told that the pottery pieces were priced in US dollars as they were “top-grade” and made by master craftsmen with unique pottery methods.
Taken in by their sales pitches, Eclair said he and his group forked out about US$3,000 for two decanters, a set of four cups and a plate.
However, they realised later on, after leaving the country, that the items should have cost $3,000 in Turkish lira, or just S$230 in total.
After scrolling through Tripadvisor reviews of the Bezirhane Culture, Arts and Ceramics Centre, Eclair said he found a slew of bad reviews about the place.

In the comments section, one netizen asked why the group was willing to even fork out so much money for "a pot".

Eclair replied that there are "master craftsman pieces worth five to six digits", and likened the purchases to “art and its NFT counterparts”.
Also in the comments, Eclair said he did not post the video to gain sympathy but to "shed light on unethical sales tactics", so others won't make the same mistake.
"To those who think it's our naivety for being scammed, you're absolutely right and we have already recognised that fully in the video and caption," he wrote.

stinkies are a dumbfark nation

its sh*ttyzens and gahmen are all alike. unadulterated dumbfarks.

which is why they look at superficial things and are easily swayed by superficial things.

in all their slanty harebrained monkeys' wisdom, these slanty kafir rats figured turkey is more developed because it is more touristy and therefore got better looking infrastruction better presentation which is necessary if it's going to attract tourists.

european orientation for over a century has also meant that it's going to look more european. stupid slanty kafir rat stinkies are fooled and mesmerized by that.

in contrast, when presented with far more powerful (but still a loser) iran in comparison to turkey suudi or zionist terrorist entity (which is no more than a leech), stinky kafir rat peasants are disgusted as a first reaction.

stupid morons.

iran is not only more advanced but decades more advanced than any lousy ASEAN country, any country in south asia as well except CECA in certain technologies (due to CECA 1400 million population that gets free access to russkie yankee gayropean tech) also more advanced than any latin american african or most other countries in most other regions in the world.

this is despite a pathetically teeeeny tiny population of only 80 million in what is the 2nd most isolated, also heavily embargoed, sanctioned country.

iran got bavar 373, 15th khordad, 3rd khordad, talash SAM, tested Raafe space engine, 2nd stage of ghaeem space engine/ICBM 10+ years ago, built loads of drones, supposedly even suicide drones with 4000 km range (?), anti radiation drones, and what not.

even displayed potential to hit satellites in orbit, low earth orbit but still satellites. not yet done it but for country under embargo and sanctions, pariah country, 2nd most isolated country on Earth that is better than probably more than 92% of countries on Earth, and without embargo sanctions and isolation (which won't occur without regime change in iran, i.e. not unless iranian regime is toppled by yanks, but then iran would be ruined like neighbouring iraq syria libya and suffering like afghanistan yemen etc) it would have been ahead of maybe 97 or 98% of countries world wide with only a teeny tiny population of 80 million!!!

if these donkeys ruling iran had provided the means for iranians to increase population to at least 50% of CECA virus, Iran would have been easily 10x as powerful as today, sanctions embargo and isolation, or not.

dumbfark stinkies.

iran is basically a nuclear weapons state with ICBMs that is just too cowardly incompetent backward to come out publicly and admit this .

and I suspect not 100% of all components is produced in country/domestically, which is why they are susceptible to foreign pressure to not unveil their nuclear weapon and ICBM or anti satellite ability with live tests

if true, the reason they comply might be that parts like electronic microchips, accelerometers MEMS gyroscope or other minute parts considered too cheap or inconsequential to be produced domestically since foreign counterparts from tiongkok are cheap and abundant might be blocked if tiongs also abide by yankee embargo and sanctions.

iran should work on producing 100% of all required essential parts, components and critical prodcuts for both military and civilians in the country.

stupid stinkies who have never fought a war in all their wisdom -- the paper generals as they are called derisively in stinkypura -- figured that budget and only budget is what matters in deciding the might of a nation.

stupid paper general chink stinky kafir rats

then suuudi arabia should have been the mightiest military power in its region and crushed zionist terrorists in 1948 1956 1967 or 1973~ why not ? isnt suudi budget greater than zionist terrorists budget?

why tiongs can't crush pulverize eliminate obliterate decimate a smaller CECA country, a feat that has no parallel in history?

the biggest failure in history - that is tiongkok - despite its superior budget don't even dare to mess with CECA virus and crush pulverize devastate CECA

the only time in history such an ignominiy has bfallen any nation.
