Continue exploring the 'Common scams' page to identify at least three distinct types of scams mentioned on the page (excluding 'Helpful locals' and 'Attraction closed') and provide the general advice given to avoid them. Additionally, identify any specific mentions of these scams being prevalent in Southeast Asia.
Navigate to 'https://en.wikivoyage.org/wiki/Common_scams'. Scroll down the page to find sections detailing specific scams beyond 'Helpful locals' and 'Attraction closed'. Identify and extract information for 'Authority scams', including how to avoid them. Identify and extract information for 'Taxi scams', including how to avoid them. Identify and extract information for 'Gem scams' (often found under 'Overcharging' or 'Helpful locals' if not a distinct section), including how to avoid them. Synthesize the identified scams and their avoidance tips into a concise answer, noting any specific relevance to Southeast Asia if mentioned.
