Not long after moving to London, aged 20, I was admiring the view along the Westminster/Embankment area, when a well-dressed and well-spoken man in his 30s - looking for the dumbest person he could find - approached me and spun me a story about how he was a famous Scottish amateur golfer who had left his wallet in a taxi and needed 200 quid to get to a tournament somewhere (possibly abroad). He would borrow the money from me and repay me by mail as soon as the tournament was over. I told him I didn't have the cash on me, but we could go to my place in Fulham, so I could get a couple of traveller's cheques and cash them.
You actually believed him enough to get to that point? Doh!

Which countries? England is where I recall seeing most people peeing on the outsides and even the inside walls of buildings. Several third-world countries have graffiti or even official notices on outside walls advising people not to pee there.
Wait, now I see why you were duped.
