Why does this scammer get mad? The fake petition scam exposed. A warning for tourists.TL;DR - In certain places especially in Europe there are people who try to scam tourists out of their money by pretending to seek signatures for a petition and donations, don't fall for it!
Having been targeted for this scam over the years and having witnessed it being repeatedly perpetrated on others (sometimes successfully)-: I decided to record it happening to then be able to explain it and use the explanation as a warning against it. I managed to capture the main elements of the scam to make this brief entertaining if somewhat educational warning video.
This is a caution video for folks planning on visiting primarily European cities but also other big cities worldwide in general. This applies particularly for folks visiting heavily touristed areas. Don't fall for this street scam!

Having been targeted for this scam over the years and having witnessed it being repeatedly perpetrated on others (sometimes successfully)-: I decided to try and record it happening. I managed to do so with this entertaining if somewhat educational warning video.
This is a warning to folks planning on visiting Paris. Don't fall for this street scam!
Here is the full text from the video:
And so ended a scammer's
ploy to fleece money out of me
as a 'dumb tourist'.
In the spirit of the BBC 'The Real Hustle' TV
series this video's purpose is to help folks
not fall for this scam. The full explanation
about it requires a brief minute or two
of patience but the funny lesson learned
from this captured example is worth it.
This wоmаn was attempting
to scam me out of money by
pretending to find a well polished man's
gold wedding band near me.
For many years now each summer
in Paris, France scammers from certain
Rоmа communities come to prey upon
unsuspecting tourists, particularly those
walking along the banks of the river Seine.
There are a number of minor scams
they use but one of the more
frequently perpetrated is the
found men's gold wedding band scam.
This is how it typically works:
Tourists will be walking along
the Seine or in another heavily
touristed spot and suddenly someone
nearby (typically of a Rоmа persuasion)
will bend down to feign finding a man's
shiny gold wedding band on the ground.
Typically a scammer will play as though
they're a bit slow but with a ready bogus
excuse about why they can't keep the
ring. Either their religion prohibits
it or some other fairly ridiculous excuse
(e.g.: My husband would be jealous!).
They'll offer and then give the ring to a
'lucky' tourist and pretend as though
they're going to walk away but then turn
around and ask for something in return
hoping that either greed or compassion
on the tourist's part will take hold and
they'll give the scammer some money
in exchange for the valuable 'gold' ring
they've just received. In reality it is just a
worthless fake ring the scammer pulls out
of their pocket and places on the ground.
These scammers have pockets
full of such rings. They're made
out of cheap metal with shiny brass
plating. They'll spend their entire day
'finding' ring after ring.
I know this because over the years on days
I've been out to take photos several have
tried it on me, one after another, as I've sat
for hours on the river banks recording time
lapse images. From a distance I've also seen
scammers trying it on others over and over.
One day as a challenge I decided to see
if I could record the scam being perpetrated.
Having had several scammers come to
me I noted a certain consistency in
their appearance, #1 being each was
seemingly walking alone.
I then kept a look out for individuals
matching this appearance who'd be
walking towards my position. When I'd
spot someone I would quickly begin to
use a touristy point-and-shoot camera
in video mode and pretend to be a
tourist recording the beautiful Parisian
scenery. When I'd be approached I'd just
act natural and turn around to 'innocently'
interact with the scammer while continuing
to record so they'd not question my
making a recording of our interactions.
What follows is the best
exchange I've caught so far.

Paris pigeons & a scam artist
While Matthew and Julia were on a quest to eradicate Paris of pigeons - calling themselves The Pigeon Busters (listen for Matthew at the end), a friendly neighborhood scam artist tried to convince Kim she had dropped a 14-karat gold ring. Watch as he enters the frame, pretending to pick it up from the ground. He would promptly try the same scam on a group behind us as well. Still not sure what the end game was though.
