Niece died in France so it absolutely makes sense to come to Florida USA to panhandle for funeral expenses.

[@michaelkupfer3723]

It's a Scam. Roma and Sinti do this all other the world

[@michaelkupfer3723]

These Roma/Sinti (Gypsy is a dirty word apparently these days) do this all over the planet. It's all a huge scam. There are hordes of Roma/Sinti all over Europe panhandling with posters identical to this one, selling fake watches and stolen goods. They fake disabilities, they beg with small children or dogs (which they treat horribly) and in the evening they get picked up by busses or Mercedes cars. KZbin is full of videos with them and yet, if you mention they are all Gypsis, they call you racist.

I once had a girl come up to me in the Trader Joes parking lot and give me a sob sorry about how she was pregnant, she was kicked out of her apartment at 2am that morning, etc., etc. I said No. A month later she came up to me again in a different parking lot sobbing that she was pregnant and kicked out of her apartment at 2am that morning. I said, "Funny, you had the same story last month." Without a word she turned and walked quickly away. This is why I don't give out money.

[@hopefletcher7420]

There's a grifter who "works" the store parking lots along the main boulevard in our town. Dressed nicely, maybe 50, and his story is always that he's an OBGYN and has just delivered children at our local hospital (which is at least three miles from where he is). He tells a sob story about car trouble, no phone, no wallet. I've never given him money but sooo many others have. The last time I saw him he was handed $20 by a couple. When I told them Peter was a grifter they just said it was only $20. OK for him, but one woman found out after her son gave Peter his birthday money. It's sad we have to be so cynical.

There was a guy around my school’s city last year who was similar. My bf and I gave him food the first time we met him but from then on every time he asked we would say no. Then one time he asked me for money and I said no and he asked if it’s because he’s black… I said no, it’s because I’ve seen you before and you’ve asked me many times and I am a college student who has no money. He tried to backpedal and be like “Nah I recognized you, I was just tryna say thank you” and all that. What a character.

I like the how the second woman keeps repeating "I don't work here!" like you need to work at a store to unddrstand how self-checkout works. I've used self-checkout plenty and not only have I never accidentally not scanned something (a plausible accident), I've definitely never magically scanned cheaper items than the more expensive alternatives that were already in my cart.

[@marin4767]

Romanian scammers are all over my city it’s super annoying, they slow traffic lights and people still fall for it.

[@jenniferdaulby5519]

How do they even get into the USA? Do the Police check their Visas? They are like vermin. I had one slap me when I told her to get off the road & said no to giving her money, but by the time I'd pulled over they disappeared into an Audi!

[@IshFlorish]

I gifted this man a jacket due to cold weather and later that same day he sold my jacket outside of target 😭 I gave up on trying to help and just say I speak spanish

[@jen-a-purr]

“Pleaseeeee help me somebody!!!!!!” Who TF is gonna walk up to the cops and go hey knock it off and they just release her 😂I know someone who got caught switching tags in a Walmart and got hauled off to jail. They don’t play. Stupidest place to want to steal from. They always have eyes on everyone.

[@jackiemarini3203]

😂😂

[@codyeble6764]

And the best cameras

[@tonyakrebs4137]

I pictured all of that in my head and it was hilarious 😂

[@TheActiveLifeLived]

Unless you're in California

[@lemuryellowtail4819]

Fr I was walking through apparel and saw a guy run through the front doors and run out with a $68 jacket. He was on skateboard heading in the direction of the door police station. Saw him getting in the back of a car on my way home

[@ColdFuse96]

That walmart lady was using every excuse she could think of 😂 I have a kid, I have a dead husband, I dont have a job, I have a bad back, I'm gonna throw up, I'm having an anxiety attack, I'm disabled, I need my medication, I want my mom, I was in an accident, I'm claustrophobic. She may as well have said "I stubbed my toe" or "I lost my shoe" 💀

[@Beautifultruthofficial]

The good old ....i can't breathe!

[@leese.23]

"Just cuz you talk a lot doesn't mean you're telling the truth" is my new favorite! 😅 Her saying "you're being mean" is the 🍒 on top. "I'm begging you..." Me: yes and it's VERY unbecoming! She definitely pulled all the stops, didn't she? How Scan & Go works: You scan every single item and you get one QR code for everything. You then have to use that one code to pay for all the items at the checkout. Period. (I still think it's a stupid idea, too easy to scam. Especially since every Walmart I've ever gone to wants to see your receipt...)

[@nikita123371]

My walmart is just asking for people to steal because they never check receipts and hell if the alarm goes off no one is there to check to make sure you aren’t stealing.

[@genericamerican7574]

There has actually been problems with the self checkouts. Some people have been falsely accused only to later be exonerated by cameras.

[@MEKCreations]

@@genericamerican7574 That happened to me. The self check thing accused me of shoplifting a can of chili because I had it in my hand while I was trying to pull open a bag. The cashier rolled her eyes and came to clear the screen then said "I hope they take that off soon, it goes off ALL the time, stupid camera has no idea what its looking at" in a tone that told me she is really, really DONE with that.

[@jacker6766]

it works in some other countries, just dont think it works as well in the US. But yeah very easy to scam, I havent heard of any self checkout scammers here but there still might be some that i havent heard of.

[@adotintheshark4848]

she went through every common spiel in her act. This wasn't her first rodeo with cops.

[@gemre4]

She's screaming a whole lot for someone who can't breathe

[@helgafrahmann4201]

But shame, she can breeeed!!😅

[@saraprva4172]

" Just because you talk a lot does not make you right" = Legend ! However, instead of using self checkouts, why not try something radical like having staff on registers ?

[@TerlinguaBBNP]

The second thief… “if there’s a god please help me”, jejejejejeje!

[@guymontag349]

Walmart can take great pride in the knowledge that their stores only attract the most discriminating customers of the highest caliber and spotless integrity.

[@triciabutler3625]

Yeah I got taken by a Romanian woman last year. Bought $200 worth of clothes and food and stuff for her. She turned around and returned everything to the store for the money. When I handed everything over to her she had a bunch of other stuff in bags that people had bought for her. 3 months later she approaches me in the same store and hands me a card saying she speaks no English and she needed money to buy things for her sick mother. I told her I recognized her and knew what she was up to and to leave me alone. I then told store security about her and she snuck off through the store trying to leave without being seen. Police got her outside and I haven't seen her since.

[@unlimitedbug]

Don't give handouts to strangers, then. Buy them a can of food and a blanket or something if you really think they need legitimate help. Homeless shelters are everywhere and it isn't your job to look after impoverished people.

[@issaKween1987]

The “vroom” caption at 5:05 sent me immediately💀💀

[@kosmipologe]

The scammer lady most presumably lived in Germany before. She accidentally used the word "ich" when she meant "I" several times. And later when she pronounced the word "autobus" she did it in the German way to pronounce. So I am glad she is not leaving in Germany anymore.

[@mayaspanic221]

A 45 year old woman throwing tantrums.... 😳 how embarrassing🤦‍♀️

[@stevenanthonycomedy]

When has begging not to be arrested ever worked?

[@TaintedMidnite]

NGL...I did exactly what the lady at 12:00 did recently but it was for a bag of dog food and some milk, bread and a few other groceries 😕 I scanned a few face mask packets in front of the bar codes and it only came up as maybe $6 but the lady was so kind and understanding. I was absolutely MORTIFIED and I reacted the exact same way as this lady, having a massive panic attack and bawling my eyes out, not because I got caught but because I was so embarrassed that I had to do that to feed my dogs and kids. She was very understanding and told me she wasn't going to call the police because she knew how hard things have been for families financially the last few years and I was only trying to steal basic necessities, not makeup or random items. But I can honestly say I will not be doing that again. No matter how bad I am struggling. Its hard being a single mother of 3 children and 2 rescue dogs but it does not give anyone the right to steal. I wasn't thinking clearly because I was under a lot of stress but that still does NOT excuse my actions and I am damn lucky I got a nice manager. Any other person would have called the police and had me charged. She even felt so bad for me that she gave me a hug on the way out of the store. I wish I could go back and thank her for treating me like a human being and not just seeing a thief, but unfortunately I am not allowed back there for at least half a year 😮‍💨 -I know that was REALLY long sorry lol. Just thought I would share for anyone thinking of doing this. Its really not worth it no matter how much you think you need to.

[@nightshadehelis9821]

It's so crazy to me that stealing $600 worth of goods is considered a petty crime.

[@TheDragonSeer]

Same here. In other states, over $500 of stolen goods bumps up the charge. Weird how it's considered petty there.

[@NotMorganFreeman.]

No kidding. If someone stole $600 out of my wallet I sure wouldn't consider it petty.

[@annejohnson9028]

I never believe anyone collecting for a funeral!

[@WWanxingo]

i cant imagine how it would feel to get caught exactly in the act lmao

[@Jaden_Downs]

Lady number 2 “call me a lawyer!” Okay, you’re a lawyer, now stop resisting..

[@clickbaitpolice]

The last girl is special, she is everything a cop hopes for in an arrest and I so appreciate her sensibility taking over her intoxication....shows she is a true kind heart for sure.

[@JimAbooGames]

IM EARLY YAY!!! I love your videos 💕 I have high functioning adhd and these make fantastic background noise for when I need to focus on important tasks! And they are entertaining!!!

[@SweetHeartRose]

It makes me so happy when scammers get into serious trouble with the cops. They had it coming. As someone who was once a victim and played into the hands of scammers like these people, it brings me so much joy knowing justice was served for their awful crimes!

[@jz3712]

When I was a struggling 19yr old I’m my first solo apartment, a crummy one bedroom I worked part time at the mall and there was lots of people begging out there, I never give money after seeing my upstairs neighbor dressed homeless begging them getting into his nicer newer car and going home to his nicer larger (2 bed) apartment. All he did was dress dirty and beg, not work. Made me wonder how many of these people actually need help vs to lazy to get a job. But no I never give money anymore

[@AustriaColorised]

that cop in the last video has that "ok lets get this over with" voice. bro has had a long day

[@eyesturnedeverinward]

"I can't help a liar" 💯

[@Martin-kv3th]

as a european. the first clip? hilarious lmfao.

[@trumphater1789]

You can see how evil that first woman is, the look on her face...

[@briangonzalez8514]

Hey Mr.Broken I feel like we should put more awareness into the first video. I live here in Las Vegas and we had similar people doing these scams claiming they lost a family member who were children and were from the same place which is Romania. I have a feeling it’s all over the US and we should be tracking down these folks because they take advantage of those who genuinely think there doing something good.

[@fireworkstarter]

Yea clasic eastern european scammerz

[@jacklow9611]

I lived and worked in Las Vegas for about 5 years, and saw *all sorts of scams* happening there, most of them to get gambling money, or money to buy liquor. (or both), many even involved whole (supposed) families who, at the end of the day would climb into high-priced cars and drive home to their fancy homes.

[@arielcotter2656]

Shame on that first woman. Disgusting.

[@youdonegoofed]

Just your typical Romanian lol

Paula: "I cant breathe!" Cop: "Just breathe. Take a few deep breaths." 💀💀💀

[@ravenheaven2425]

We the people here in Palm Coast appreciate the Flagler County Sheriff's Office for arresting the funeral scammer. She can take her scams elsewhere, we don't want it here in Palm Coast. Scammers NOT WELCOMED HERE.

[@nightshadehelis9821]

Seeing her get arrested made me smile so hard. These scumbags are human garbage. Never, even at my lowest point in life, had I ever considered lying to scam people who wanted to help me. These people are soulless monsters.

[@EmberAwoken]

So my brother would hold signs at intersections claiming our mother was dying of cancer and all kinds of other lies. For that reason, and clearly from the first woman, I never ever trust panhandlers in intersections begging.

[@nightshadehelis9821]

It makes me angry when people donate to these scammers. By me there's a scammer who pretends to play the violin in a store parking lot. I call these scumbags out every single time and they always resort to not speaking English, even though their sign is written in it.

[@RoughJustice2k18]

I see scruffy looking guys standing beside the road asking for money from people who are stopped at traffic lights - I recently told one who claimed he'd lost his wallet a couple of days ago and needed bus fare to get somewhere to piss off and go get a job as it was lunchtime on a weekday. He smelled strongly of alcohol as well.

[@Martin-kv3th]

“where were you born” “what do you mean where. a hospital” ok yeah i believe the disabled claim

[@comradeurod9805]

Seems to have some merit 😂

Oh, the charming people of Walmart never disappoint in the drama department 😂

[@tanside979]

18:15 Why don't those cops understand and listen to Paula? She literally spend $250, and that means she wasn't stealing!... 🙄🤣

[@rockerjay970]

Funnily enough, if they didn’t have her dead to rights, it was a believable story. The whole time, im thinking, “I’d believe her if i didn’t watch the video”

[@orianamarano6198]

not the cape coral Walmart LMAOOOOO

[@spokelord]

The last girl just seems like a typical college kid that made a mistake and just rolled with the punches which is probably your best option

[@L3v3LLIP]

Why do people carry multiple fake IDs at the same time. This makes almost 100% no sense and is just asking for trouble.

[@tapp1184]

The kind of people who think they're untouchable and won't be stopped by the police in the first place, their first of many mistakes

[@LadyKattrina84]

They may have been to get into nightclubs and bars, but you can never be 100% sure.

[@BunnyQueen97]

A lot of college kids in the US get fake IDs and never throw them away, they’re funny and reminder of fun times, like a grade school photo ID. It’s definitely stupid, but not uncommon. I’m sure fake ID charges get tacked on in situations like this all the time.

I love that criminals just think you can send up the Bat Signal and a lawyer will appear.
