Can not blaim BA but beware-
There is a scam on the streets in Moscow, and two tourists have been hurt, and at least one lost a lot of money.
It involves a person 'dropping" a wad of 100$ bills in the street as you are walking. Man no 1 drops these, along side you, or just in front of you...if you dont pick them up, he will, and looks around to see who might own them. He will ask if they are yours....if you say yes....you are in trouble...if you agree to share your winnings with him you are also in trouble....Man no 1 vanishes, and you have about 500$ in your hand as Man no 2 returns looking worried...and sees you with his money.....where is his1000$....he will insist that you have stolen his money...and demand its return. Man no 1 has vanished, and is keeping watch.
This has happend to me three times in less than three months....Today, I saw the drop, and kicked, ever so slightly the bundle into the very wet gutter, and totally ignored the two men.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
You have been warned......Bumz
