Surviving an Attack from a Fake Busker

Fake BUSKER and his wife attack me in PUBLIX PARKING LOT. Nothing graphic. If you know these scammers, send them this video ;)
I pressed my bluetooth headphone to call cops and the fakers fled.

THE ROMANI RACE

[@formattmusic1359]

Just called out a fake violinist in front of a grocery store. They can never play without the accompany, they can never play a single note when asked. They don't know the open notes of their own instrument. When the guy tried to hand me the violin to prove I could play, I took it from him and I tried to play, plucking the GDAE string to test if its in tune. It wasn't even in tune, but that's not even the best part. When I tried to play the violin with the bow, it wouldn't play, because this awesome violinist apparently doesn't know what Rosin is and that a bow needs it to resonate on the strings. So this guy was proven a fake right then and there and then was promptly arrested, because he was technically trespassing after being asked to leave. These loser can never play a single note without their backing track. They NEVER have adequate vibrato to produce the notes they are "playing." I'm not even a violinist, I'm a guitarist. I dont even play violin and know most of the time if they're faking. Even if their finger placement is right or close to right, 9 times out of 10, their vibrato will never be in sync with the song.

I know the term "gypsy" is a derogatory term these days, but many of these scammers come from the same region and share the same scams and signage.

Seems to be what others are saying too, that they're Romanian. I'm wondering if possibly Albanian.

[@drsuses73fenderstratocaster]

Good job my friend!!!.....and thank you! Their scam is sickening!!!!

[@c-LAW]

I captured a recent busk scam they did this past Christmas/newyear holiday, but the unfortunately the video got accidentally deleted. The Violin the he used would start playing when he put his hands on on the neck -- very slick headfake. It made him look like he was playing flawless from a distance, because the violin would stop when he removed his hand.

Maybe they can’t find a job that will take ppl without papers? Either way they are annoying most of the time 😂 especially when they use their kids.

He had FL plates, but this was in Murfreesboro, Tennessee. I saw the dude them several months later, with an elderly lady, and a younger lady supposing to be very pregnant also with a little child, they were standing on a corner with a cardboard sign that said please help.
