Thanks to you, this place(and the whole company with almost 60 places) has gotten it's license for exchange of money terminated by ČNB(the Czech National Bank). Big win for the people, the government is now making further steps to shut down any more scammy exchange places. A legislation was passed which makes everyone who was scammed eligible for a refund within 3 hours of the initial exchange. Thank you for the work you do, I applaud you.

this is true - Every establishment be it exchange place, bar or nightclub a tour guide takes you is because they are receiving money for it. That's not neccessarily a bad thing but a simple fact of how these things work. And competition for tours is so fierce that there have been fights in the old town square between rival bar crawl companies.

According to EU laws you should be able to press charges, since claiming a zero percent rate is a fraud on purpose, means: A criminal act. Blessings from Germany, keep on doing your great work.

[@Gulga123]

But they give you 0% comission. The thing is they give you a very bad exchange rate and charge you than 0%. Imagen you go to REWE and buy a bottle of water for 19 Cents next to REWE is a small kiosk that have the same water but have a nice "Keine Mehrwertsteuer" but will charge you for the same bottle 2 Euros. THey still will have to pay later the 19% tax but they made alot of money.

[@Andythrax]

Yes. It's when you go to a place with all you can eat food and they say it is free all you can eat. Entry costs €400.

[@dingo7055]

Yeah, no, in most civilised countries that is considered "Misleading and deceptive conduct" under trade laws, and I almost guarantee that the EU has similar laws. They can CLAIM that they're charging 0% commission but that their rate is just really bad, but the key is they're using the 0% commission claim as "bait advertising" to get people through the door to buy a product that they normally wouldn't based on any reasonable metrics. Seriously these guys should be in jail or out of business at the least. The fact that it is so widespread in Prague indicates to me that they're probably very well connected and someone high up is taking a cut to let it happen - typical East European/Asian/Shitpot corrupt kleptocracy country.

[@TheSnahsnah]

unfortunately, every bank does the same thing: 0% commission, but their rate is + -2% the actual market rate. These people are just turning the normal bank scam to 11. So I doubt it's fraud.

[@InvestingAlex]

It is similar to trading forex. Experienced traders dont ask about what the commission is, instead ask what the bid ask spread is.

[@matthewdownes6051]

Haha! I went to this place to see for myself, and they yelled at me to get out when I stopped several people from exchanging there by showing how bad the exchange was.

[@1121494]

If I changed 5 euro there, demanding a receipt and then filed a police report against them for fraud and false advertising, will there be no action taken? How is the 0% Comission Advertisement not Fraud?

[@zdenekanyz9870]

There is no any fraud just too bad exchange rate and misleading sign with rates. So basically it's a customer fail not to ask cashier in advance how much you get for your money and decide.

[@bremCZ]

G+1121494 Because commission is an additional service charge. They are not applying an additional service charge so it is correctly and legally 0% commission. All they are doing is giving a poor exchange rate. Every exchange place does this. These guys just take it to the extreme. If you look at global exchange rates then look at rates of buying and selling they are never the same.

A few months into the contract, cheaper, better phones came on the market, and cheaper pay-as-you-go plans became available as well. He then said the government should do something about it because some people (like himself) "get sucked in." He was a lefty, of course. I told him exactly what I've told OP, that it's not the government's job to babysit him throughout his entire life and protect him from bad decisions. When he finished his 18-month contract, he got into an identical contract with the same mobile phone network for the latest top-of-the-line phone. Lefties are just children that never grow up and want big-daddy government to replace their biological mummy and daddy.

These guys need better stickers that do NOT come off easy

[@LocoMe4u]

Spray paint the whole place everytime if they repaint with "scammers" "43% comission"

[@simonkhang8625]

Why don't they super glue it on?

[@bomba7197]

Because they don't want to damage any property. Damaging people's property is also illegal

[@ipKonfig]

@@bomba7197 making it stickier isn't "damaging" property. I can come by your home and show you what "damaging" is, just let me know, I'll gladly show you the difference

[@bomba7197]

ipKonfig.com No dude '-' sometimes sticker with hard glue could left some mark which is considered damaging other people's (scammers) property. Don't be ignorant dude, that's why he is taking off the stickers afterward. He just wanted to warn people online while entertaining them .

How am I not surprised that the guy working in Chequepoint was not Czech?

Not like that last exchange had been there for 30 years to begin with. I have seen an old postcard from the square from 1998 (if the dating on it is correct at least) where there is no exchange on that corner. But yeh, they are closed now regardless, so good job.

[@LukasTheQuietKid]

Honestly someone needs to illegally stick those stickers overnight and make the glue extra strong and over time, they will become the robin hood of Prague.

Use Gorilla glue and they will need to change the windows

Thanks to the channel and host you present it very nicely great I am love with Prague will surely visit this year or next.thanks again for advice I have seen each and every video of the guide lovely and well presented. I have one question tho which month has the least tourist in Prague?.thanks u Namaste

[@TheAdamAdy]

raviraj sardiwal probably at fall, good time to visit would be around september, it gets colder but the scenery and less tourists are worth it

[@didadida5504]

January and February have the least tourists. Spring, summerand December are crazy busy and autumn is also popular for city trips.

[@kenlee1416]

I thought early to mid-March would be a great time. Was I wrong, Prague centre was teeming with student groups.. That said, if you do sightseeing early, as in before 7:30am, you should have the streets all to yourself even in peak season.

"This is the face of Prague" - I've been there in 2013 and honestly they try everything, it maybe begins with the currency, but you have to deal with it also at the restaurant and especially in a taxis.

[@MegaMightypower]

Why did he have to take the stickers down, and its been like this for 30 years?? why dosnt police get involved? Is it not illigal?

[@pencilme1n]

You can open a shop and charge $1000 for a newspaper. It's perfectly legal. If people are willing to pay, it's their choice. And they really are charging 0% commission! Whilst offering their customers a very poor exchange rate.

[@sinclairhania5914]

Records have shown how they have they have swindled millions of dollars from several people across Europe and America through strategic manipulation of their charts and user’s acco.unts. This is to warn potential customers to be wary of dealing with them because they are not registered or regulated by any financial regulatory agency, not even FCA in the UK or ASIC in Australia nor Cysec in Cyprus. Presently, efforts are ongoing to track the individuals behind this company and significant progress has been made. I am only putting this up here for others not to fall victim to this company. And for those who are concerned about retrieving their lost funds and best brokers invest on, you can consult this expert via her email address [e-mail] She should be able to help with the recovery and best broker to invest on, provided you have evidences of the transactions you made with them. I'm happy she could helped me.

Did you even bother watching to the end? They made the stickers easy to take down so no damage was done.

[@istaze_137]

@@gavinschall8879 so is that not graffiti? Because, and PLEASE correct me if I'm wrong, But to my knowledge no matter what you're doing or how easy it is to remove, defacing someone else's property without their knowledge and/or consent is still graffiti. Now take your old head ass out of here and get a sense of humour you old fart.
