New York Scam: See Why The Metrocard Scammers Want To Call The Cops On Me
New York scams are everywhere. I see the same woman from my 2019 nyc scam video. The Metrocard scammers try to convince tourists to give up their Metrocard on the way to the JFK Airtrain from the Sutphin Blvd subway station. These scammers then try to re-sell scammed Metrocards for full price.
Watch their reaction when they see I'm filming them. The woman remembers and says I'm the reason no one is giving up their Metrocards. Then she threatens call the cops on me and break my camera. Never give up your Metrocard. You will need it to pay for the JFK Airtrain. Keep this nyc tip in mind the next time you ride the subway.

Exposing India's Begging Scams (Beware!)
Have you come across these begging scams? Not all beggars are genuine; I expose 3 fake beggars in this video so you know what to avoid when you travel to India. The most common begging scams I've come across are the Ranipur calamity fake charity scam, fake medical bills scam, and fake donation collectors.
These scams can happen anywhere in India. Begging scammers commonly target tourist areas, busy intersections, expensive parts of cities, and railway stations. If you meet any of them, just say no and keep walking. Don't fall for their lies. These are professional beggars who are trying to trick you into donating money to a fake cause.
If you want to give to beggars, you need to verify their story. If approached by a beggar who claims to be in a dire situation, exercise caution. Ask questions and evaluate their responses. Genuine individuals in need might provide coherent and consistent explanations.
Trust your instincts too. If something feels suspicious or doesn't seem right, trust your gut instinct. It's better to err on the side of caution and refrain from engaging with potential scammers.
Spread awareness: Share information about begging scams with friends, family, and your community. Increasing awareness about these scams can help protect others from falling prey to fraudulent schemes.

SAVED FROM A SCAMMER in India (Beggar Scam Exposed)
Beggars in India will approach you all day long with a scam where they ask you to buy them expensive food items from a nearby supermarket. Find out exactly what they do with these items you give them and how you can really help people who really need charity in India.
Shot in Mumbai, this auntie and her entire family work the streets every day running this scam. During the scam, an Indian Nun came up to me to help me and stop me being scammed! She was terrific and demonstrates the lengths Indians will go to to help foreign guests in their country. This Nun actually knew the family and told me this women's daughters are being educated by her at a Christian missionary charity called Prem Dan.

Scam Shops in Pakistan & India - Don't Be Fooled!
While travelling in India & Pakistan you'll find shops that have straight-up copied a famous shop's name, and then, opened their store next-door to the original!
In this video, you'll see the original Grato Jalebi sweet store in Rawalpindi and there's a big queue because locals know it's legit. But just a few metres down the road are 3 copies with the same name.
Karim's in Delhi also has the same problem. There are many counterfeit Karim's restaurants.
These fake shops make enough money to stay open by simply fooling travellers.
So don't be fooled, check online reviews to verify locations. Has this ever happened to you?
The original Grato Jalebi, Rawalpindi

SCAMS OF NEW YORK CITY EXPOSED! Mobileshack, 566 Fashion Ave, New York, NY 10018, États-Unis
Les autorités connaissent bien les agissements de ses fraudeurs professionnels de cette entreprise Mobileshack de Times Square, mais les compagnes de cartes de crédit comme (VISA INTERNATIONAL) ne font rien, il en profite pour extorquer des fonds sur des produits ne valant pas les coûts de la vente et des services de surcharge en prime de tôt de change exorbitant et leur offre même des réductions de coût de % à ses gens mal honnêtes , que faut-il faire pour arrêter ses fraudeurs qui volent les pauvres touristes. Je suis sous le choc de voir que la justice américaine se moquer des touristes et de plus qui ne font rien pour mettre un terme a leur activité de voleur.
Authorities are well aware of the actions of its professional fraudsters of this company Mobileshack of Times Square, but credit card companions as (VISA INTERNATIONAL) does nothing, takes advantage of it to extort funds from products not worth the costs of selling and overloading services into exorbitant early exchange premium and even offers them % cost reductions to its dishonest people what must be done to stop its fraudsters who steal from poor tourists. I am shocked to see that the American justice mocks tourists and more who do nothing to put an end to their thief activity.
Le autorità conoscono bene le azioni dei suoi truffatori professionisti di questa società Mobileshack di Times Square, ma le compagne di carte di credito come (VISA INTERNATIONAL) non fanno nulla, ne approfitta per estorcere fondi su prodotti che non valevano le conseguenze della vendita e dei servizi di sovrapprezzo in anticipo di cambio esorbitanti e persino per offrire loro riduzioni di costo di % ai suoi mal-onesti, che cosa bisogna fare per arrestare i suoi truffatori che rubano ai poveri turisti. Sono scioccato che la giustizia americana prenda in giro i turisti e non faccia nulla per porre fine alla loro attività di ladri.
Las autoridades conocen bien las actuaciones de sus defraudadores profesionales de esta empresa Mobileshack de Times Square, pero las compañeras de tarjetas de crédito como (VISA INTERNATIONAL) no hacen nada, se aprovechan de ello para extorsionar fondos sobre productos que no valen la pena los golpes de la venta y servicios de sobrecarga en prima temprana de cambio exorbitante y les ofrecen incluso reducciones de coste de un % a su gente malvada honesta, qué hacer para detener a los estafadores que roban a los turistas pobres. Me sorprende que la justicia estadounidense se burle de los turistas y no haga nada para detener su actividad de ladrón.
当局很清楚这家公司的专业欺诈者的行为，但信用卡伙伴（国际签证）什么也不做， 它利用它从不值得出售的产品中提取资金、并以过高的早期交换奖金为服务提供超载、甚至为其员工提供 % 的成本降低。 必须采取哪些措施来制止偷盗穷游的欺诈者。 我震惊地看到，美国司法机构对游客和其他不采取任何行动制止偷盗活动的人进行了嘲弄。
Die Behörden sind sich der Machenschaften ihrer professionellen Betrüger der Firma Mobileshack de Times Square wohl bewusst, aber die Kreditkartenfreunde wie (VISA INTERNATIONAL) nichts unternehmen, sondern Geld für Produkte erpressen, die nicht den Verkaufsschlag wert sind, und exorbitante Überziehungsdienste für den Wechselkurs und sogar Kostensenkungen für seine unredlichen Leute, Was muß getan werden, um die Betrüger zu stoppen, die die armen Touristen bestehlen. Ich bin schockiert, dass die US-Justiz Touristen zum Narren hält und nichts unternimmt, um ihre Räuberei zu beenden.
