アテネ Athens

   パルテノン神殿 Parthenon

ニセ警官による詐欺に遭いそうになりました。市内の遺跡のそばの他に人気のないところを歩いていると、まず男が寄ってきて、外貨の交換を持ちかけてきました。相手にしなかったところ、もう一人の男が現れて、先の男に何か質問風のことをしてから、私に身分証明証らしきものを見せ(すぐに引っ込め)て、パスポートの提示を求めたうえ、お金をすり換えられなかったかと聞いてきました。つい乗せられて、お金(少額の現地通貨だけですが)まで見せてしまいました。もちろん、相手の手にお金を渡すことはしなかったのですが、まだしつこく言うので、やっとおかしいなと気付き、もう一度身分証明証を見せるよう要求しました。相手は渋々応じましたが、全部ギリシャ語なので、さっぱり分かりません。そこで、じゃあ警察署に行こうと言ったところ、相手はもういいと言って退散しました。暴力的な相手でなくて幸いでしたが、私の多くの海外旅行の中で唯一の詐欺(未遂)事件でした。
Here I was nearly deceived by a fake policeman. When I was walking near ruins in the city where was nobody else, at first a man came to me and offered money change. When I refused, another man came and apparently inquisited the former man. Then he showed me something like an ID card (withdrawing it immediately, though) and told me to show him my passport and asked if the former man took my money secretly. I was so careless as to show him my money (though in only small amount in local currency). I, however, stopped short of handing him the money. As he insisted, I started to doubt him and asked him to show his ID card once again. Though he reluctantly did as I demanded, I couldn't understand it fot it was all written in Greek. So I insisted to go to the police station together. He finally gave up and went away, wishing me a nice travel. It was fortunate that they were not violent.
