Beware of people hanging around the square outside Duomo. They will walk up to you and forcefully put corn on your hands to feed the pigeons on the pretense that they are free. This will then attract the pigeons in the surrounding area to fly towards you. These people will then pursue you for money.
Else they will ask if you want to take photos with the pigeons and if you agree, you will be given some corn to attract the pigeons.
Friendship Bracelet Sellers
Other scams that they will try is giving you "free friendship bracelets." After you take the bracelet which is just a colored piece of string, they will demand for money and ensure they get as much as they can. They will be forceful, physically tying the bracelet to your wrist, or laying it on your shoulder as you try and walk away. This is especially true in touristy areas around the Duomo and Castello Sforzesco.
Thusto all travellers, please ignore them and you will be fine.
p/s: The typical peddlers selling fake goods are everywhere around the streets too so please don't believe those are genuine branded goods!
