How it works
A well-dressed local or someone posing as a fellow tourist strikes up conversation near Jagdish Temple or the lake ghats and eventually steers the conversation toward gems, claiming that Udaipur's sapphires, rubies, and semi-precious stones can be purchased cheaply and resold at home for significant profit due to import tax advantages. The gems are invariably low-grade or synthetic, and the promised resale market does not exist. Victims typically spend between ₹10,000 and ₹1,00,000 on worthless stones.
