Importing Gemstones Duty Free

This scam is widespread in Jaipur and also Agra, where many people come to buy gemstones. It involves tourists being approached by a gem dealer, who convinces them to buy some gemstones for him, import them under their duty free allowance, then sell them on to one of his willing partners in the their home country for much more money than they originally paid.

Of course the details that you’ll be given about the “partner” are fictitious and you’ll be stuck with a lot of worthless gems. Definitely avoid anyone who approaches you with an offer like this or any similar scenario. Sometimes you won’t be asked to buy the gems, but instead to provide a “financial guarantee” of your credit card number and signature.
