I was shopping yesterday in the Dontonbori area yesterday when a younger male (20-25?) approached me and asked to use my phone as he had lost his. He seemed polite and nice enough, but out of caution I said no and that my eSim doesn’t work for calls or anything (which is true anyway). He was fine about it and walked away, but I watched him go straight back to his group of friends all sitting around.
I didn’t stick around to watch them anymore, but it was more than obvious to me he didn’t lose his phone and was indeed attempting to steal mine as I assumed.
Just wondering if anyone else has had any similar experiences and if this is common?
For reference, 25m & Australian
