Very informative video, but there is an undercurrent that is not out rightly stated.

This happened to me while I was traveling from CA to FL a few years ago. Guy in a nice 2-3 year old SUV with wife and son (7-8 years old). His son didn’t appear worried or interested and his wife wasn’t that concerned either.

I wanted to help, but it didn’t feel right, so I didn’t bite.

All i ever get are people in white vans trying to sell me home theater systems or speakers..

Have run into the US version of this scam. I was in the parking lot of our local Target store and a black guy in a newish SUV asked for help buying gas. I can't remember the excuse that he gave, but I gave him $20 to get him home.

Kind of sad, if that's the only way he has to make money - but it wasn't like I couldn't afford to give it to him.

There was a man that regularly worked the area around my neighborhood. His script was he needed 80 cents for a bus ticket so tons of folks gave him a dollar. Merchants knew who he was and a cashier pointed him out to me, he was even known to get aggressive with women. He approached me with his spiel so I pulled up my shirt, pulled my spare mag and popped a round out, told him it was worth a dollar and he could have it but if I saw him around again the next one would be coming a lot faster. He’s in jail now because he hassled a female detective.

I'm holding out for a "Golden Earring".

We had a guy that worked a corner here for awhile. He had a sign that said “I am no going to lie, I need a couple beers”. Folks were handing him cash and beer like crazy. For being honest I guess...

Great vid! Watched some of it but I have to go because I just found out I have a relative who is a Nigerian prince and is leaving me a very large inheritance if I can send 5K dollars!!!

(I didn’t know there were White Princes in Nigeria!?!)

First shocker...I watched the video you posted at the OP.

Second shocker...All the scammers on the youtube (in the Czech Republic) were muslims - who would have thought it.
