You're doing god's work man. I live in Paris and I've tried to confront these guys before but they gang up on you so quick and it's honestly really intimidating. I saw a Peruvian man traveling for the first time in his life bet $100 and lost, he was destroyed emotionally afterwards, they tried to get him to go to an ATM to "win back" his money so I told him in Spanish it's a scam and 4 of them came around me and pushed me away. Luckily he got the message and walked away but they were furious and followed me almost all the way home.

[@pooca_]

I'm French, I'm living in Paris and I can tell you that these people aren't just family, they're more than family. Imagine a mafia that manages several access points in Paris and the suburbs and will do anything to get as much money as possible. They're all divided into small groups, each with their own role to play: some scam, others steal, assault, panhandle, pass themselves off as Jews, Muslims, Christians, etc.... and ask for donations. Others have a job and allow their “family” to take advantage of things like not paying for transport, etc... A scam that works well on Parisians: they panhandle and put a transparent cup far in front of them. When you're walking and you're on your phone, you pay attention to the person doing the begging, so you dodge them, but not the cup, so you tap it. They'll scream like crazy and force you to give them money. How can you not give your money to him? Scream even louder and call the police (or at least pretend to) and walk away. If you go to Paris, don't play the games they offer you, buy your souvenirs in stores: it may be more expensive, but at least there's less chance of being robbed. And please, don't go to tourist restaurants, which are extremely expensive and disgusting. No Parisian will go there, even for water. Go to less touristy districts where you can find better and cheaper restaurants.The same goes for night-time transport: even us Parisians are scared to death of it at night. Just take an uber or taxi, it's safer. Does it take a lot of money? Yes, to live and enjoy Paris, you need a lot of money to be safe.

as much as i hate such cavemen, you have to understand that less than 1% of entire world's population are related to governments and even less have direct power, such as police officers. you can't expect some police dispatch to leave the desk and try and sort out a situation without any gear or field training. what i'm getting at, is that they simply don't have enough manpower to deal with this. if police has to choose between dealing with some nasty cavemen who just intimate and "steal" from willing participants or some shooting or stabbing case, they will choose to deal with whichever is the worst case. if all of you who talk here, would want to change something ... go there and live stream. be a tag team, make a community, come together and organize it. host a forum specifically focused on this, have people there live streaming 24/7. hence the term "tag team". even with 100 people you'd be able to have at least 2-3 people there all the time, live streaming. make youtube channel, make a stream key and share it with others, so everyone can stream to same channel with multiple cameras. leaving comments and expecting police to deal with it, is useless. if you want to see action, then you need to make it happen yourselves. how you fight darkness? you shine light on them! light being live streaming, i'd like to see those roaches attack someone while they know they are being live streamed.

As a retired Romanian police officer I can tell you this: 1. In Romania at the last census (2021) there are around 3.4% rroma. Maybe a little more. They represent more than 20% of the inmates in Romanian Prisons. This is really bothering! 2. When that gipsy said: "go to your country!" it is very possible he wasn't wrong. Rroma are nomadic. Some are born in Turkey, some in Bulgaria, some in Romania, some in Serbia or Hungary. It is possible he was born in France and he is French citizen. 3. Rroma don't have what we call "national roots". They do not consider themselves as Bulgarian or Romanian other than if this can bring them some advantages. 4. I know a gipsy family where the father was born in Romania, he married in Hungary with a local woman and their children are 2 German, 1 French and 2 UK citizens. The migration path the family. What are they? Romanians? Maybe British because those two are the majority in the family.😁 5. It is possible in the group to be no-rroma persons. That's why they are using Romanian language and not the Rroma language. 😁 In Romania they tend to use rroma language or Hungarian language because, of course, many Romanians know Romanian language. 😁 6. Many scammers left Romania because they follow the money. To be fair there are years when I saw last time this scamming game in Romania. It was popular in the '90s but I think now nobody can be scammed with this trick in Romania. 7. Having them out from that spot it is not easy, it is just a matter of law enforcement. They will just move to another place for a while. I doubt that there are no "zones of action" already split between the gangs. Being in that spot means they are powerful and well organised.

We told her: we can send a few thousand to the UK and please show us the "smart" way to deal with them! 😂 Look what happened in Leeds (UK) in July this year!!!! Back to the question! It depends how dangerous you consider this activity and how much money you want to spend to have them out of that place! And also consider this: they will not go to work! How will they provide for their families? I really don't know! Gipsies came in Europe from Northern India one thousand years ago. No country was able to integrate them successfully in these 1.000 years. Do you think we will solve the problem today?

It's not about hating tourists since as you can see there is no anti tourism movement in France contrary to other touristic euro countries.

Not sure how you know they are Gypsies, but Gypsy is not a citizenship. The great Django Reinhardt, for instance, was French. If they speak Romanian, there is a pretty good chance they are Romanian, gypsies or not.

[@inkognito2895]

No difference

Assholes exist in every country, no need to apologize for them because any decent person will know they can't judge whole country or nation of people just based on few jerks. Romanians are amazing people and I've met plenty of them on festivals!

[@HepCatJack]

Paris isn't unique, pick pockets operate with impunity in Madrid and Valladolid. There are also various scammers in Prague. It's best to research any city you plan to visit, any video you see may provide warning for the scams used and/or even the individuals in question. In Frankfurt, near the train station in the late 1990's it wasn't unusual to see people injecting drugs into their necks on the street.

my friend visited paris and said it was the worst experience of his life, the waiters were constantly mocking him and his wife for not speaking french but when they tried to speak french they would be ridiculed for not being proficient in it. Scammers and picpockets everywhere. Oh and when they really needed to use the bathroom, most places have you pay to use them. Sounds like a fantastic time.

[@gribouilleboutin3251]

Thank you very much for exposing this with your large audience !!! I'm Parisian and it's been like this forever, I'm digusted of the local politics who let this happen even aware of this. I saw them each time I would go around the tower and faced uncomfortable situations that included families with children . As I do, I invite you all people witnessing this to call 3975 (Paris police services for non urgent situations). Authorities are much to blame rather than police because they are not sent to patrol around. And a simple local decree would prohibit each of these people being around the area once identified.

[@HoldMySoda]

I visited Paris two years ago with my Family. We made a roundtrip through France. We met so many kind and helpful people all over France. But I am sorry to say I found the situation near Eifel Tower and Trocadero discussing because of these scammers. You hardly see any Police out there. I can't understand that in times like theses that you hardly see any police at these crowded touristy hotspots. The pure presence of police would scare them away. I also can't understand why there are so many illegal vendors who sell water bottles out of their bags or buckets.From my point of view Paris and the people of Paris deserve better. Au revoir!

nope, juste French justice no longer care about criminals, and Paris is just a garbage. he was lucky of not getting stabbed, it's quite normal in Paris for people get stabbed or raped.
