The question is very interesting. Fraud is also one of the types of theft. Basically, in Turkey and Egypt, theft from rooms (money, television and photo equipment, expensive perfumes and original branded items).

They say they happen. But in general, Turkey is a fairly civilized country, and the streets are full of police and municipalities who monitor public order. I have heard from tourists about the theft of money from the room once in many years, and once about the theft of left luggage from the lobby of the hotel - but these are just rumors. Keep your money in the safe and your luggage in your room and you'll be ok.
From myself I can say that hotel staff, as a rule, do not steal. Once we lost a gold jewelry, we thought forever and were upset, but the maid found it while cleaning the room and laid it out for us in a conspicuous place. Yes, if you leave money on the table or on the bed - it is treated as a tip and taken away by the maid.

With us, for 8 years of rest in Turkey, no one stole anything from the room. Faster tourists from the hotel can grab something left (a towel, for example, I heard such cases). Fraud happened when exchanging currency in exchangers, so immediately count the money at the exchange rate (always on the scoreboard).

There were cases, they wrote about them, for example, you pay with a bill of 100 dollars in some shop. 1) The seller-cashier takes away your bill somewhere, supposedly to check it, and then they bring some old one, obviously not yours. They say it's fake, etc. It's impossible to prove anything. The police are called and, accordingly, all the charm of communicating with law enforcement agencies. 2) They can come to the hotel with the police after the purchase and demand to pay for the goods with "real" money.
In general, change dollars for smaller houses, don't go with 100 dollars))) Have a good rest.

We have been going to Turkey for more than 20 years, neither we nor anyone nearby (we communicate with tourists on the beach, on excursions, in the city, etc.) have had anything like this. Although in some reviews you can read about thefts, it just immediately disappears the desire to take a tour to that hotel. Of course, be vigilant and do not scatter valuables and money in the room (remove from your eyes or keep in a safe) - that is, do not provoke! I have never done shopping in the resort area of Turkey, I think this is complete nonsense, because I only spend currency on paying for excursions, I have not encountered the situation described by Zama in any street travel agency, but it makes sense to listen! I support that in this country you need to have a change currency. In exchangers, change only small amounts (and the exchange rate often changes, and lira is needed only for small expenses, for example, paying for public transport)

Rest only and exclusively in decent hotels, I think there will be no problems. We did not have.

Once a watch was stolen on the beach :((( Not fancy, just Japanese. The hotel security honestly tried to find it, they called to their boss several times, they showed them similar in description, but, alas, they didn’t find mine. It’s unlikely that the Turks stole, rather, our teenagers. There was also a case when a lady at a conference forgot her laptop in a restaurant, the whole group searched and didn’t find it, put all the guards on their ears. I don’t know what they did, but the laptop was found in the evening in her room at the door. When she left to the beach, he was not there))) Miracles!
