Scammer Caught And Admitted To Steal 700€ On Our Camera (SCAM GUIDE)

[@HONESTGUIDE]

The newest episode of the #SCAMGUIDE series is out! The scammer attacked me in a tram and tried to bit me. Yes, it's crazy and completely caught on camera: kzbin.info/www/bejne/a4S4mmSfe5ygkKM Thank you for your support, new video every month!

[@lcfflc3887]

you should interview the police and ask them why they don't do anything about it?👈✔️ if they refuse then take it further and investigate them.

[@lcfflc3887]

Netflix HBO or vice or Hulu should hire you to do a whole series of country by country exposing all the street scammers victimizing tourists, NEXT country Egypt and India 👈😅LOL. your hands will be full there.

[@geesterl4343]

Janek please look into the Ramada hotel in central Prague. They charge tourists on leaving for 'damage' at their hotel. The hotel is incredibly run down with multiple problems. Top tip for those who decide to risk staying - document all damage immediately on arrival so reception know you have made them aware ;-)

[@leventeszecsy6262]

Im wondering what would it be like if you guys were working for the police and not just be simple citizens. Would make arresting them much easier. Although this format is more entertaining 😊

Since tourism is a huge part of Prague’s economy, wouldn’t you think the government would want to protect the tourists from these criminals?

that doesn’t make sense, because the city doesn’t get anything from it. (from the scamming)

[@danielb.2385]

@@Cmoky3rd I think you might have misunderstand. It is obviously in the city's best interest for the tourists' experience to be as pleasant as possible. This thing can be easily mitigated with warning posters at crucial locations and patrolling city cops.

Last September I spent two weeks in the Czech Republic. One morning at 9:00 AM, I checked for exchange office near Palladium mall in Prague and one of these guys approached me and suggested to give me good rate. I followed him to one exchange office which was closed and told me that the owner of this office is his boss (he was lying!) and the office will open after one hour and suggested to complete the deal with him instead of waiting. I was about to give him my money then I suddenly realized is is scam thanks to your videos which I watched ton of them before my trip.

How hard can it be for the police? Go undercover as a tourist , catch them and put them in jail? Its not rocket science but it feels like it.

[@chorlesteajones6794]

From the looks of it, the police don't care or are getting kick backs for letting them do it. If they really cared they would post signs around the major tourist locals stating that anyone caught exchanging currency would be arrested. It's just like places in the US don't allow soliciting in certain areas or businesses.

[@Wellcosh]

There is no effective law that the police could use to get rid of them. If they steal less than 5000 korunas (200 eur), it's not a crime.

On Part of the problem is that they still use crowns even though prices are pretty much the same

[@MarekBobosik]

The fact that the same gang with the same gang members is allowed to operate in Prague for years must tell you something about the government or the police. It's either corruption or incompetence. However, I choose the former over the latter.

@@Kejsinak Prague was honestly one of the best and nicest trips we’ve ever taken. The city itself is beautiful with lots to do and see, the people are really friendly and couldn’t do enough. We never went to Prague with the intentions of meeting Janek or Honza, it would of been nice but they’re clearly very busy making great videos for more people to go and enjoy it. I’d definitely recommended buying the book as it gave us lots of places to go for Czech food and drinks, as a tourist it’s hard to find those places without being ripped off.

Why Prague’s police doesn’t stop them? I was robbed there. Pretty City but I do not want to return to a city where I had a bad experience. I was warned in the train by a German man to be very careful.

[@Hybinette]

I tried, and from my experience the police in Prague is very well aware of the problem, but their hands are tied by lax legislation. I wanted to report one of them Vietnamese-run scam tobacco shops selling cigarettes for twice the price, and the policemen just sighed and said that all they can do is go there and give them a fine, which they will easily pay and then that's it. They cannot do more than the law allows them to.

[@martinmartin468]

More than 90 % percent of reported case gets successfully resolved, the proble is that lot of tourists rather bite the bullet and enjoy the vacation then go to the police. By the way did you go to police?
