It's EU law. Those scammers are all Romanians and are therefore legally in France. We've got the same issue here in Austria but to a lesser extent. They mostly cadge or worse aggressively beg for gas money. They behave like they stranded with their car, but of course if you give em gas money they won't leave. After they finished with begging a mini-bus picks them up and brings them to the next city where they perform the same faked drama.

He lost the first one and he went on for the second. She was trying to change his mind and he loses again. There on the spot, in raw 2 minutes he lost 50 euros and they stormed out with her decorating him with all sorts of nice adjectives. Edit: When I said the exact same thing, I was refering to the girlfriend - boyfriend situation and quarell.

The first second I got the the Eiffel Tower I was simultaneously swarmed by a “deaf woman” raising money for a dear school, a nun raising money for an orphanage, and someone raising money for a blind school. All three came rushing us. Followed by an even bolder scammer who would hold up a sign. If you read the sign, she would demand money because she “blessed you”. We got good at pissing these people off and making them piss off. Had a guy tie a bracelet onto me. Just grabbed my wrist, and tied it on. He then demanded money because either I kept it, or cut it off. And either way he “lost out”, so I had to pay. I blatantly and bodily refused. A shop owner came over and cut it off me then scolded the man and threw it in the trash. The locals do NOT LIKE THESE PEOPLE.

Scammers are losers in life. They decided to rip off people for a living instead of having a proper job. And usually these scammers (who also might be beggers on the street, faking some financial emergency or call you from a shady callcenter) still don't get rich by it, the money more likely gets sent to some criminal clan boss in Romania or wherever. This is how they spend their lives. I love how you mocked the scammers by imitating their acts 😁😁 Great work! 👏
