Look out for the scam on the crowded streets of a foreign country.
Identify a woman wearing dark colored clothing so as to blend in with the crowd. Although the woman could be wearing anything, dark colors help her conceal her identity.
Notice that the woman has a bundle meant to look like a baby near her chest. The woman may hold the bundle as if she were breastfeeding and it may be covered with a shawl to conceal the part of the bundle that would show the baby's face. She may also employ the use of a real baby.
Suspect a scam if the woman suddenly throws the baby at you.
Realize that if you react by catching the baby in your arms and preventing its fall to the ground you could easily fall victim to the scam.
Expect your pockets to be picked by the woman or her accomplices while you hold the baby and are disoriented.
Listen as you're accused of trying to steal the baby. The woman will likely scream and fuss over the baby in your arms before she grabs it and rushes away.
