The Friendship Bracelet scam is a scam that is perpetuated on foreigners and travelers. It involves a scammer's knowledge of human psychology, especially the principle that most people will want to pay for a gift, even if payment is not initially required. A scammer also relies on the fact that most people just want to be left alone, even if it means paying money. It's an old scam but one that travelers encounter every day.
