      In France, filming without consent is a crime. It isnt a civil issue, it is criminal. What you did when you told him your camera was turned off and post this video online for all to see, is a full on crime in France.
      Then, handing over fake money even if it is to a scammer, is a fraudulent crime in France 0 exceptions made.
      Then, the way you acted comes under a crime known as obstruction of business. However, since they are scammers and likely not paying tax on it, that cant be sued except you folmed yourself doing it and posted it for the world to see.
      Now, other can prosecute you on their behalf.

      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.

He lost the first one and he went on for the second. She was trying to change his mind and he loses again. There on the spot, in raw 2 minutes he lost 50 euros and they stormed out with her decorating him with all sorts of nice adjectives.
      Edit: When I said the exact same thing, I was refering to the girlfriend - boyfriend situation and quarell. There's no need for people to point out that the casino is not a scamming place, it was pretty obvious and it goes without saying. I can't believe how stupid people are to get confused over such a plain thing.

    And this is why you never give money to these street vendors, ever. I don't care if they were literally on fire and asking for money to buy a flask of water to put the fire out.
    Too much of this scamming in the world. Even people begging on the street are often part of organized crime and aren't really in need of money. They just exploit the compassion of others.
    It's honestly sickening and they should be imprisoned for 5 years and/or deported from the country if they are not legal citizens. I have no sympathy for these criminal scumbags.

    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.

    Scammers are losers in life. They decided to rip off people for a living instead of having a proper job.
    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.
    This is how they spend their lives.
    I love how you mocked the scammers by imitating their acts 😁😁
    Great work! 👏

      Before my comment gets someone hurt, DO NOT attempt it if you're by yourself!! You never know how the scammers will react, and how many of their "hidden" partners there are pretending to be players or waiting on the side. There was quite a few of us buddies in a group so it felt safe to do it, but if I were alone, I wouldn't dare!!

      I think there's an element of money laundering with fake money too.
      I remember watching a group get some tourists who would actually win. But they'd put notes they received from tourists on top of their pile and pay out with notes from the bottom.
      Then someone would switch out the handful of cash.
      After a good 20-30mins of watching them scam people, they gave us Eiffel Tower key chains and a thumbs up. We took that as a sign to leave.
