Phone stolen while someone asked for directions

Scam date: 2026-05-07 Reported: 2026-08-07

I was walking on Las Ramblas when someone stopped me asking for directions and showed me a map. While I was trying to help, another person opened my backpack and took my phone. I noticed it a few minutes later. It definitely looked like they were working together.
