25 years ago, I encountered Angry Grandpa (I'm 95% sure it was him) in the Prague metro. He claimed to be a plain-clothes inspector of the public transportation, showed me a silly charm trinket in the cup of his hand as if that was somehow legitimizing him, and he claimed that I had bought the wrong ticket and that I needed to pay a fine and buy a different ticket. Little did he know that I wasn't just the passing through backpacker, but I was on my 30th trip to Prague, so I told him in Czech to crawl back to the piča he came from, and that I knew very well which ticket I needed and that I wasn't going to show him my ticket, nor where I keep my money. He got very upset and abusive (I guess I lead him on, but I was right and he wasn't hahaha). When I got off, I informed the DPP office and they said I did the right thing sending him away.

Your videos really do justice to your city, with all the travel tips and hidden gems that you recommend! As for the scammers, it's such a pity that most major European counties don't do enough to fight this type of crime. It's the same story here in Athens, people will scam you/rob you, they will get arrested and then be released later the same day. This "guide" was really fun to watch and it shows how much effort you put for Prague's good. Take care and be carefully around all these people. Wish you all a happy new year!

Greetings the Honest Guides of Prague. Congrats on an awesome scammers montage video. As I’ve been watching it’s brighten the end of this year for me as well as sent a good cheer for the start of a new one. It’s actually a great fun to view all the footage you shot over some years compiled into one video about all the chases and hustle and bustle with them cheats and riff-raff money grifters who operate in the streets of Prague. The video made me chuckle more than once, I must admit. Kudos and salutations on a job well done. My favourite episode with scammers was the one in which you confronted the Polish Guy at the train station where he was swindling some tourists. When he was caught he got so wound up and all bent out of shape that he started to swear both in Polish and Czech with his spittle flying from his mouth in and between profanities he was firing at you so profusely. Now it turns out he is suing you for harassing him as he was waiting for a train. The audacity of him and talking about turning the tables on you - comedy gold continues. By the way, Happy New Year to Janek & Honza - have a good one.
