      It's EU law. Those scammers are all Romanians and are therefore legally in France. We've got the same issue here in Austria but to a lesser extent. They mostly cadge or worse aggressively beg for gas money. They behave like they stranded with their car, but of course if you give em gas money they won't leave. After they finished with begging a mini-bus picks them up and brings them to the next city where they perform the same faked drama.

    I'm Parisian and it's been like this forever, I'm digusted of the local politics who let this happen even aware of this.
    I saw them each time I would go around the tower and faced uncomfortable situations that included families with children . As I do, I invite you all people witnessing this to call 3975 (Paris police services for non urgent situations). Authorities are much to blame rather than police because they are not sent to patrol around. And a simple local decree would prohibit each of these people being around the area once identified.

    And usually these scammers (who also might be beggers on the street, faking some financial emergency or call you from a shady callcenter) still don't get rich by it, the money more likely gets sent to some criminal clan boss in Romania or wherever.

    When I went to Paris as a student ambassador we had to take a whole class on how to avoid scammers in Greece, Italy, but mostly Paris. The Paris ones are awful. The first second I got the the Eiffel Tower I was simultaneously swarmed by a “deaf woman” raising money for a dear school, a nun raising money for an orphanage, and someone raising money for a blind school. All three came rushing us. Followed by an even bolder scammer who would hold up a sign. If you read the sign, she would demand money because she “blessed you”. We got good at pissing these people off and making them piss off. Had a guy tie a bracelet onto me. Just grabbed my wrist, and tied it on. He then demanded money because either I kept it, or cut it off. And either way he “lost out”, so I had to pay. I blatantly and bodily refused. A shop owner came over and cut it off me then scolded the man and threw it in the trash. The locals do NOT LIKE THESE PEOPLE.

    I think the best response to this sort of scam is when they ask you where the ball or whatever is, you say "I know where it's * NOT *" and then pick up 2 of the cups. They either have to declare you a winner or admit it's a scam when there's nothing under the last one.
    Only problem with it is that a lot of these scammers are not above harassing you/getting violent.

Men will approach you out of nowhere and tie a wristband around your arm, joking and acting like they gave it to you for free, and when you accept they will demand money. the wristband is so tightly knot you can't get it off, so they will accuse you of stealing if you try to walk away. it's especially malicious because it's done when you raise your arms to take a picture of something and concentrate on your phone for a moment, they will rush over to you and tie the band so fast you won't know what happened.
