That is so scary. I have heard of incidences where someone went to get their money exchanged and someone from that place would hire robbers to follow the customer home and rob them.
Also, i have heard warnings to not wear gold because robbers will come and nto hesitate to yank earrings out your ears or cut your arms or fingers for the jewelery. I’m not sure how true that is…I traveled to Pakistan last time in 2007 and happily wore gold jewelery (since I was a newlywed at the time) and nothing liket hat happened. y..Alhumdulillah I and my immediate family have been safe so far. But it’s so scary
It’s very common, Sara.
Lots of brides wear artificial jewelry now due to the same fear. All that you mentioned above has happened at some point or the other to many people.
