Exposing India's Begging Scams (Beware!)

Have you come across these begging scams? Not all beggars are genuine; I expose 3 fake beggars in this video so you know what to avoid when you travel to India. The most common begging scams I've come across are the Ranipur calamity fake charity scam, fake medical bills scam, and fake donation collectors.
These scams can happen anywhere in India. Begging scammers commonly target tourist areas, busy intersections, expensive parts of cities, and railway stations. If you meet any of them, just say "no" and keep walking. Don't fall for their lies. These are professional beggars who are trying to trick you into donating money to a fake cause.
If you want to give to beggars, you need to verify their story. If approached by a beggar who claims to be in a dire situation, exercise caution. Ask questions and evaluate their responses. Genuine individuals in need might provide coherent and consistent explanations.
Trust your instincts too. If something feels suspicious or doesn't seem right, trust your gut instinct. It's better to err on the side of caution and refrain from engaging with potential scammers.
Spread awareness: Share information about begging scams with friends, family, and your community. Increasing awareness about these scams can help protect others from falling prey to fraudulent schemes.

Here’s the 💩-on-the-shoe scam kzbin.info/www/bejne/n3ytoICFZdt9a8U. 🔞 A lot of sleazy dance bars have popped up in this area too, watch my undercover investigation kzbin.info/www/bejne/o6LIqIJ-atKrhK8. 03:21 I'll report back if Manisha and I have twin boys.

[@sharilnarayan1641]

Hey Karl, I am a Fiji Indian living in NZ for 20 years. Some of the scams you are highlighting here are now starting to be reported in NZ now. Because I look Indian, I have been approached for money especially at Indian shops and Temple. On asking questions these scammers start becoming defensive and sometimes abusive which because of my Fijian blood makes me so angry, that I start yelling at them. They eventually leave but my experience with these Indians keeps me from visiting India as I feel my temper will get the better of me there after seeing your videos. Thanks for all the great videos and stay safe.

I fell for the hotel tariff scam while working in Bengaluru. A man came up to me with a story of having to be in the City but he cannot afford the hotel bill (if I recall). I paid something, but less than he wanted. A month later (when I was more of a veteran to life in India), the same guy came to me with the same exact story when I was downtown around MG and Brigade. I lost it on him, and made a scene, as I was frustrated and to let others around know not to fall for the scam.

Yeah, it sucks because most people do want to help genuine people. But these people just destroy that trust.

[@Gaze73]

What happens if you say a number?

[@deepanshhh]

If I say a number which they are expecting, they show you that they have correctly predicted the number as they wrote it on the paper. They might ask you one more question, like, name a milk giving animal or a garden flower. This is a simple psychological trick where most people, Indian at least, will choose cow or rose for those questions. Then they show you that they predicted correctly, and on that paper itself, will be an amount written. Like 1100 or 3100 and they will ask you to pay them that much amount. If you give an answer which is different from what they've written, they will just shamelessly ask you to guess again and again and again 😂

Saying "no" is easier said than done. As a woman we fear saying no because of physical and social repercussions. I love to travel and right now I'm in Northern Europe, and while there may not be many beggars here, there are men who stop you just to talk to you / waste your time. In life there are people who can take more than money from you when they see you're a foreigner. So ladies (and gentlemen) if a stranger stops you anywhere, even if it's just to flirt, say no thank you (unless you're also interested) but don't carry on conversations with emotional vampires who are bored, want attention, or feel lonely. It's not youre job to entertain strangers especially when your in a foreign country and have plans and just want to relax.

Let's say you're walking down the street in some affluent neighborhood, a family - a husband, a wife plus at least 3 to 4 kids, will approach you with a pickup line - "hindi maaloom (can you speak Hindi?)", and tell you a sob story of how they lost everything on a train while they were traveling somewhere (they typically use some religious destination), and ask you for "help" to get back to their hometown in north. I fell for it for the first time many years ago, and I saw the exact same family years later in a different neighborhood running the exact same scam.

Yes sir I also got tricked by their acting. It's really nice to see you know better than us about this scam that happens in India.

[@messy3314]

@@cestlavieeee in this internet generation even the smallest bad can paint your country as a bad one. We people work our ass off minding our business and trying to maintain a positive image whenever we visit some other countries but these people are just ruining everything. If you are active in social media, The racism to Indians is just crazy nowadays and the main cause of it are these scammers.

After going through every video of yours I have made the decision to make a trip to Delhi at the age of 72. Im going to take the chance and see a differant world. One good thing seems my pension will go a long way and at the moment it would be cheaper to have a week in india saveing on gas electric and food than in the UK.

Thanks for showing other side of India , really like your critical views😊😊

Very true.... if you really want to donate just go to orphanage, old age house or blind schools... don't give money to them

[@ghostcat8244]

I think saying No is allot harder for people especially myself who wanna help but ended up get you at the end. But thankfully over time saying No to people really does work and by the end of the day you feel better especially the next day. It’s okay to really say no when you feel uncomfortable.

[@TrashwareArt]

I think this will end up being one of your most popular videos! Thanks!

[@andrewmosley2588]

I’ve wanted to visit India for so long, backpack through it actually. And one of the only Indian people I know told me not to go because I would get taken advantage of because I’m an English person. He said it would cause me to resent the country and it’s people.

[@elis7175]

Karl! Love the videos. That booble head action at 1:27. Is that some kind of cultural thing? Seen it in other videos from India.

[@raylow9878]

I would never in a million years understand why one would visit a country as india, i wouldn't even want to get paid for the rest of my life to go there. Ever.

[@pravin4784]

I agree please don't come here

[@rahilmalhotra001]

Relax, most of these videos are from tourist hotspots. And India is a big place, one part of India might be terrible but the other part would be great. Its quite a big country to be judged as a whole

I once had a kid hugging around me asking for money. I just told him to move away and refused initially. But he kept on hugging around my legs in tears, I was about to give in. That's when my father shouted at him and chased him away. After few mins, i could see him doing the same thing to the next person. They really make us uncomfortable and guilt trip. Thanks Karl on your message of saying NO firmly and standing by it

[@tommyt8998]

All this could be avoided if you simply ignore strangers on the street in foreign countries. Usually, the 1st thing you hear is "Where are you from"?

Yeah, always had the best experience with sikh temples in india! The bigger temples usually have a room where you can leave your shoes, often there is someone there who will show you around, you can sit and listen to music, you can eat at the langar if you ask, very nice and relaxing, and they don't even ask for money! Without fail,everytime I visited a Sikh temple, they didn't ask me to pay and I had to ask them where the donation Box is! And they didn't seem to expect me to donate. Like, I don't mind giving a few hundred rupees, especially if i sat in the temple for half an hour and got to eat something in the langar, but it's nice that donations can be given freely and they don't pressure you. Granted, if you visit small hindu temples, they are often also genuinely welcoming, but especially some larger ones seemed quite capitalistic and lots of different altars where priests except donations.

[@gchsbus]

I LOVE HOW the first minute of the video and he is just vlogging and explaining the introduction, people are following him to bother him. I have been to India before and as a white American, i almost have PTSD from how much i was hassled. It was ridiculous. Then even followed me into my hotel and tried to see what room i was in. Had to get the front desk to tell them to leave or they would call the police. These people are ruthless and relentless and have no care in the world how much they annoy you.

Honestly doesn't only happen to foreigners...happens near most liberal goverment institutions too because there's too many genuine people around to prey on. Used to be hassled almost everyday around my University because it was a safe haven for them. Giving ₹20-50 doesn't hurt me but it hurts the people who are in real need of money. But thank you for sharing this on youtube Karl. ❤️
