Quelle horrible voix !

The biggest scam is bars selling you water for 9 euros -and it is not even a liter!!!

In Vegas they fish empty water bottles out of the trash, fill them with tap water, and sell them to unsuspecting tourists.

Someone tried the Clipboard scam on me in Paris in Monmatre - She seemed confused when I drew an ejaculating cock and demanded money from her for my Art! They can also understand english , but pretend they can't. The look on her face when I turned to my husband and said "that is the most unconvincing trans woman I have ever seen"

😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍

Perhaps the best advice is "Don't go to Paris" I have spent over 20 years traveling in Asia - never a hint of a scam

France sounds like a total shit hole. Wonder if its anything to do with the most recent allowance of all unsavoury immigrants

Just slow down with your speech. It is hard to understand what you are saying if you are not a native speaker.

Scams happen in every big city. In Paris, you could and should walk everywhere. Carry just a bit of money to pay for a sandwich and drinks. And don't stop for all these little tricks and you will be fine. If you feel threatened, you will never go anywhere. Just use common sense.

Overall I think the name of the city is irrelevant. It’s the same in any city or tourist trap in the world where thousands of visitors cluster together in tight groups. Pickpocketing is just another of the oldest industries in the world. The country itself makes no difference to that…

I only use anti-pickpocket bags with straps and sides that can’t be cut, and pockets that zip close, with zipper tabs that clip for use in crowds. I buy Travelon brand but there are others. The pink bag in this video looks much less secure. Also, instead of dangling my phone in plain sight like that, I keep mine in a special closed pouch attached to my purse strap, and use my wrist strap when I need it as I walk around. Finally, I recommend getting a smart watch that mirrors your phone for following directions or taking calls etc. so you pull out your phone the least possible. It’s all about making yourself less of a target and using your street sense. (I’m a 74-year-old woman and travel alone, including to Paris, and haven’t been robbed yet, knock on wood!)

I will just invite Sophie to vacation with me 🏄

Watch the "Roma" people in Paris.. They're usually up to no good..

When such a caught scammer is brought into a police station in Russia, a poor guy has approximately 50-50 chances to complete his "innocent adventure" alive. What's new as of June 2024, Putin's so called "law-enforcenent-officials" make this relatively low-level criminal to sign an army contract, and ... upon signing, this "fresh-recruited" is immediately sent into the Ukrainian battlefield. The alternative of NOT signing a military-recruit-contract is a 100% "guilty" verdict and (automatically) around 10 years in Putin's GULAG prison-camp, where chances to survive are very far from 100%.

So common knowledge and the same as it is in all big City’s 😊 just teasing great job keep it up🤘😎

I like how europeans adapted that street crime is a part of everyday life.... Wtf

Nice job touching on the many scams of Paris. I would just add, always be polite But FIRM when you say no thanks. As for pickpockets, and how to avoid being a victim, yours are all great ideas that everyone should follow. Cheers!

Smart girl ❤

I can't believe you demonstrated the cup and ball scam with cups that don't match!

Why do you need to carry a bag at all? A bag tells thieves exactly where your valuable are. Pockets don't.

I’ve been coming to Paris regularly for over 50 years without any problems, although I’m sure some do experience them. Use some common sense though and you will be ok. Take a look at the videos for scams in New York, it isn’t just European capitals that have problems, they are everywhere. I ’ve run into more in Washington DC, New York and Chicago than Paris. Even London has been worse. Also, remember that RUclipsrs are generating content. That doesn’t mean it’s false, but sometimes it can be, shall we say, a bit over the top.

OMG she speaks like those annoying Americans. STOP using the word "Basically"

Wow these are exhausting to listen to. Sounds like a sh1th0le place

What she didn't say is 99% of the crime is from illegal immigrants... Just like big cities in the USA. If you stay away from them, you'll be fine.

I would love to see scammers try to fool Penn Jillette with cups and balls :-)

Save yourself some money Paris is not that interesting went in 2000 and it wasn’t safe then doubt it’s got better since Strasbourg is better or Marseille and not as expensive but good advice

Well, I will never go to France, England, Italy, Spain! I rather spend my own money here in the USA.

Just do not go there and you avoid trouble. Place is shit.

and when westerners go to Asia and get scammed, they blurt out on SocMed as if there was no scamming in their own country

Why don't the French Police do their job ?

If you bound her arms would she still be able to talk

Not going to Paris

Not just tourists, my wife's french relatives were victims of a pick pocket.

Paris as safe as other cities, then enumerate other cities with big crime rates like London and Rome 😂

no need to go to paris

Why is there so much crime in the UK?

Hi!! When are you coming to India?

thanks!

My city looks so nice!!!❤

Best solution is don't go to Paris!

Being tied with a string is not petty crime. Oh es París is safe with all the extremist running round yes right.

This is what unrestricted immigration gets you.

Ahh...

Get on a tour bus. See everything. Go home quick.

You have totally convinced me. I now have no desire to go to Paris, or other major cities in Europe, where such things frequently happen. MORE THAN JUST SAYING...

I have been going to Paris since I was young as I live in Germany - plus I'm half french and speak French since birth. Never had any issue anywhere. But then again, the Paris that is spoken about in film and books doesn't exist anymore. Paris has become little Bahrain. The best way to not be targeted is to not look like a tourist, don't look up and around everywhere, don't look at street signs all the time, and don't fall for art scams and other rubbish souvenirs. Ever since the bohemian life left Paris, it has been nothing but a tourist trap and has lost so much of its sophistication and class. But to each their own..

Annoying voice 😂

Well Sophie is attractive which probably attracts a lot of people to her, including seedy men. I've had my pockets picked in Manila and Athens, because I wasn't paying attention. To the credit of the Athens pickpockets, they left my wallet with ID at my feet, and just took the money. The Manila subway crew did not, but luckily that day I didn't have my important ID in my wallet. I hear in Barcelona pickpocketing is rife since the laws are more or less not enforced.

I didn't see any crime in London or Lisbon and I just came back from there

Thank you the video. The bigger hidden message of this video is that Europe is not doing well both politically and economically. Being vassal states to USA; European countries picked up the stone and dropped on their own feet due to the Ukraine War! When the state cannot look after its citizens, the citizens must look after themselves by whatever means.
