What tourist scams have you come across? Next, see scams I found across Europe https://youtu.be/sYqA-rKsSbA
I'll stick to Florida thank you !!!
Times Square in NY is just as bad ,, black scammers all over
This is Hollywood. This is Venice Beach (California). Much the same.
I'm so sick of illegal immigration and it's all over the world. These people are criminals. Do it the legal way and there's no problem.
I’m from Bangladesh. In Bangladesh, job opportunities are very poor, and many young graduates cannot find employment. Most families belong to the middle class, which is why going abroad is considered a better option for them. It allows them to support their families and make them happier.
My friend had her gold chain and cross ripped off her neck. It was really scary for her.
Get them to understand .. Piss Off..
I don't understand why if they are illegals they need to arrest them and send them back. Every country needs to clean out illegal individuals.
Lot of Bangladeshi hawkers
Post this message on all pick pocket videos please. A simple solution… Get all the local hero's who spend their time exposing these thieves, to take their photos and post their faces on flyers in local shop windows. If they are posted on walls etc.. they can tear them down, if local shops post them in their windows, the thieves cannot get rid of them. The shops should be willing to help, as increased theft in the area decreases tourism, so decreases their customers.
Just scream at them FXCK OFF!
"Donate to a charity" ! lol, charities are more corrupt than these street scum you are exposing. Charities are organised crime. Most of the money goes to "administration". You need to wake up more Karl.
wait.. so they are charging people to take photos of them with the peoples phone? ffs lol. If anyone pays this, they deserve to get scammed lol. Brainless sheep.
And i thought i was the cynical human 😂 btw how on earth did you land marisa tomei?
Why isn't the italian
Govt crack down on those cheats.
europa – schützt euch vor dem dreck der welt, sonst seid ihr bald genauso am ARSCH!!!
I’m currently in Rhodes Greece at Kresten palace hotel, a African came up to me and put a Jamaican bracelet on my wrist already a big red flag, then asked my name and where I’m from, so I told her then she started chanting and tied the bracelet on my wrist, I thought nothing of it and then the exact words “now give me something” then I said I have nothing to give my uncle came walking up they tried the same he said “get off me and my nephew now” she untied the bracelet and we walked off, that was my first time something like that happening to me, definitely remember to not trust anyone abroad
I can't stand Rome for this very reason. Everywhere you go you get harassed by these people, its ok to begin with but after a couple of days it gets too much. Such a shame that the Italian government won't do anything about it.
only time i see white people in italy is in night
I'm glad they are cracking down on illegal aliens in the USA. Looks like Italy needs to do better.
This country is The Next INDIA in the making. Will become like India in future.
All foreigns…not Italians
Terrible scamming everyone within there countrys,
and making these countrys full of rubbish make respectable citys into toilets its discusting,
need to deport them clean up your countries europe goverments and there police sort it out do your job govern and protect your countries
The Italiaan police does nothing! The have to do their jobs ! Arrest the illegal Ones and send them back! The police have the power to do so.
When I was in Italy, the Bangladeshis were the friendlies people I've ever met and helped me with directions. Always help the Roma people if you can; they are treated terribly throughout Europe and there is so much propaganda against them. They are pushed into a corner, not given a chance at dignity; so what if they beg. Either you give or you don't. If your wife was her original complexion and not been with you, they would have taken her for Roma and bet your last dollar, she would have been discriminated against.
Why cant the police catch and deport them. Such helpless country.
Never seen helpless police anywhere in world
THose Graffiti scum should be put in JAIL ..its just VANDALISM
Venice was full of these 3rd world scumbags 20 yrs ago ..I can imagine how bad it is now
I was just in Italy and I found this terribly annoying.
Just a word of advice, when entering the Venice Santa Lucia Train Station, dont let anyone touch your bags when walking over the bridge! They just grab your bag and run in the guise of "helping" you over. They will want 50 euro at the end.
As a follower of Christ I'm supposed to forgive but I really want to put them on a meat grinder
Scams all over Italy SMH
Why do italians put up with this…had more respect for them..
Great show but i never knew pewdie pie got a small lisp never heard it b4
I was not surprised to see the nationality of these scammers. Surely there could be notices put up to warn the tourists not to buy anything from these people. If approached then say 'no thank you', do not continue any conversation and walk away, that way there should be no aggression from the scammers (hopefully).
Jesus crist I no that the poor deserve self respect but ware Muslims move to the more sex crimes follow when you import the third world you become the third world.
I love Firenze😍
But ive seen scammers fake painting on a print. Like really? They think we're stew ped.
If the government doesn't want tourism $$ this a perfect way to stop it.
