Then your credit is screwed up for a few years and you got payments on something you don't use. I was warned about them and know people that live close by. My mom isn't too far from Vegas. Once I told em I had out of State i.d. they were trying so hard to give something free but I showed him my license I was living like 1.5 hours away 😂😂 I was like yeah I know all about this but they will stop you pull you aside and whoever your with.

I think some "scammers" may actually be desperate victims caught in a difficult situation with no hope of getting out.

It's interesting how they keep saying "This is how I feed my family" as if that some how means it's legitimate. Just because it's what you do to feed your family doesn't mean that some how establishes a foundation of trust. In fact, when you really think about it, that makes you sound like your scamming me, because that phrase is meant to make me feel guilty for not doing what you want me to do. Legitimate businesses don't typically utilize guilt as a method to sell something.

Thanks for this video; I've always walked by and ignored the hustlers on the strip, so it's interesting to see how the interactions go down. Those fake monks don't even deserve the title of monk. As someone who follows Buddhism, it makes me so angry to see people use the religion to make money. To be an actual Buddhist monk, you have to practice for years and embody the principles (they live simply); they remain in their temples meditating, praying, teaching classes, and doing their chores.The temples would never send them out to get donations. They're shilling cheap fake jewelry that has Buddhist deities on them. If you want an item for good fortune, go to a real temple. You'll "buy" it at the price, but it's a donation that goes to support the temple and monks. At least the jewelry/item has been sitting in the temple where the monks are praying, and you can take your item and pray with it in the temple too.

Let me give you a little information on the show, girls, or any of those girls that are dressed up with barely any clothes. They don’t work for themselves. They usually work for a guy that has a so-called business. He makes them drive to his office. They all load up in a small van. He makes them buy the uniforms right off the bat themselves. And when they get back to the office in the evening after he picks them up, they have to give him about 80% of their earnings. He’s always watching he’s always within the vicinity of those girls as well so next time you see those showgirls look around and see if you see a guy that’s kind of standing there watching them. Not the typical guy staring at them because they have no clothes but somebody that looks like they’re guarding them. He also does that because he knows how much money they need. That’s why they are kind of loud and kind of aggressive because they have somebody supervising.

When I was there in July, one of those Buddhist monks approached me in front of Caesar's palace. when I realized what he was trying to do i just kept saying oh no no it's ok, thank you and i walked 🚶 away
