Catfishing Scammers in Sri Lanka

- Опубликовано: 4 июн 2024
- I find out just how easy it is to bump into tourist scammers in Colombo, Sri Lanka. I met one within minutes of walking down a street in the Fort area. Rickshaw drivers and street hustlers stroll the streets all day looking for foreigners to rip off. Do not go anywhere with strangers on the street!

With Rs. 4,800 you can almost go halfway across the country from the West to East, it’s really quite disappointing to see that these “Friendly strangers” take advantage of tourists so easily.
Nice to see people defending Karl for a change.
Got to be careful with those thieves. So sad that people go so low for quick cash.
So how much should it really cost
@@youtubeuser206 for the 3 wheeler trip? Like Karl said, around the 450-550 mark at max. With the highest price on meters maybe 600 if at all.
Every Tamil I’ve met like to the matayaaaar they love to scam people never do business with a tamu nadu
Whenever someone says "I give you special price", know that it's a scam.
when they open their mouths they're scamming. Sorry Indians you did it all by yourselves.
Know it’s special in a bad way
Hey Carl , your story here was on main media News in Sri Lanka. These scammers are absolutely demolishing our image as a nation bro. We are truly sorry for what you had gone through.
Same happened to me bro...i was charged 2,000 for a 30 mins ride. I gave the guy 100 😂
@@belugay5413 lol
i would love you visit Sri Lanka one day. Do you know any companies that would give a tour without scamming?
@@brian8843 There's a lot. I personally recommend planning the trip yourself, that way you have more choice over the places you want to visit.
@@belugay5413 yes
As a Sri Lankan I can tell you that no local in Sri Lanka would actually bother to show a foreigner around the city in a guy's rickshaw during his lunch break like that guy did. Most people wouldn't even bother to come up to a foreigner and say Hi.
if you encounter someone who comes up to you telling about the places you can visit in the city without you even asking is absolutely a guy who wants to milk you out of your money.
On the other hand if you ask someone who's walking down the street for directions or advice most people would happily help.
Stay safe.
Even as Sri Lankans we also get scammed like this. Thanks for bringing these into lights, and letting people know that they can always use UBER and prevent these situations.
exact same concept happens in Bangkok!
I wish all the drivers would do the right right and people didn't have to use UBER which is a multi billion dollar corporation which makes billions out of the public using their app service , in 2019 Ubers income was 14.1 billion dollars
@@philipmullins6235 Uber deserves that income, since they have made life much easier and fair for People. People are less likely to get scammed if they are using Uber to travel or order food!
@@captain6876 Uber is only there to feather their own nest .
Having drivers work for well under the basic wage is not good for workers and their families and many taxi drivers have lost their business because of them .
Order food ! yes the food price becomes inflate when people order food deliveries .
Are people that lazy that they can't go to the shop and pick up their own food ? or better still , cook their own food and save a lot of money .
The trouble with modern business is that we are giving too much power to almost monopoly businesses which means more money in less hands
Very true bro ..
1:08 That subscriber spotting you in the beginning was so chill. One of these days, Karl will become so famous that he just won't be able to make scam videos for us, cause everywhere he goes somebody's gonna know him.
It's happened a few times while filming scam videos 😅
@@KarlRock It's nice to see someone who just wants to talk to you and not ask for selfies.
@@RAMKUMAR-zr7nm Yeah. He was cool. But I really don’t mind selfies at all, it’s part of being a RUclipsr. I like to take selfies with others too 😀
Ikr. He seemed like a really nice person.
@@manofhardcore9468 He went to Pakistan on his own, Do you think he's that worried? lol. I do worry for him though.
I myself is a Srilankan and am grateful that you made this. People like this destroy my countries reputation and there’s nothing for us to do. Thanks to people like this, foreigners look even at good locals suspiciously! Once again thanks for this video mate!
You have a reputation. You are a nation of .......... 😁😁😂😂😂😁😁
india/pakistan/srilanka not persecuting and imprisoning people for fraud like the rest of the world is exactly the problem
Your country never had a good reputation anyways😂😂😂
Some random guy off the street wants to show you around the city and bring you shopping for gems but he's not a tour guide 😂
It's just his day off bro, nothing suspicious going on here lol.
I really love when you do this content, it’s very eye opening for travelers, you’re really helping thousands and thousands of people, thanks Karl!
4500 Indian Rupees is $60 US Dollars just for a short ride around the block!
@@CommandoMaster what an absolute scam, shame on them. The people of SriLanka are wonderful, it’s a shame they have these scum making the country look bad to tourists.
Why go to Tix next time go take a bus 🚌 please
@@JuPac420 exact same concept happens in Bangkok!
@@ravimahli2627 don't eat meat
Don't pay for the tuk tuk unless they have a meter. It is mandatory by law in Colombo. For one killo meter it is around 50 rupees ( edited : actually its 60-70 after petrol price hike) . Great job by educating others and waking up the sleeping officials.
Its now 60 or 70 rupees bro ...
@@shakilasanjeewa1665 Ok. Thanks for the update
@@Honokaa65 lol
And now it's 100 rupees
I would just ask the price in advance if they don't have a meter.
This is the absolute truth in recent times , i have personally been victim of these many scams
Thank you Karl for making this video and spreading the awareness for the people visiting to these places .
Bro the fact that you endanger your life in a sense for sharing info and helping others to know what you were exposing is very very brave and good job. stay safe always !!👌
අපේ හරකෙක් ගම කාලා නේද සගෝ 🤣🤣🤣
හොඳ වැඩේ මූනත් එක්කම පේන්න දාලා ගොටුකොල හරක් දෙන්නගෙ 🤣🤣
Most of the tourists doesn’t reveal these kind of scams that they have to faced in a different country.
You’re very brave man 👍
As a sri lankan, I never knew such things happen in colombo 🙆🏻♂️
Normally tuk tuk drivers charge foreigners double sometimes more than that.
always ask them to turn on the meter or use Uber or Pick Me ( Pick Me is Sri Lankan version of Uber )
Reveal more scammers in Sri Lanka. Always show their faces as well.
I’m happy to see someone like you stand against Scams around the world

I love how he's like I'll show you around and then takes you to a shop where they sell gems 😂 and then spends time showing you around and gets nothing 😂
It's so obvious that a random stranger approaching you, then trying to take you to an expensive rip off gem store is not trying to "help" you. I can't believe people fall for this.
Hey, least him and the driver get to split that 600 rupees lmao. I’m sure they fought over that after he left 😂😂😂
Because he is really a SCAM himself and he does not know it. This guy should go back to where he came from and show how his country is scamming the tourists there, this guys is banned from entering India.
@@security8576 lol found the driver
Glad the scammer got nothing.
I was born in the UK, my dad is British and my mum is Sri Lankan. I look just like a regular caucasian rando, but I can speak fluent sinhala, as well as being pretty good at reading and writing sinhala (I've always considered myself more Sri Lankan than I am British, even if my appearance contradicts it). I've started doing this too every time I go back to visit family, it's hilarious to see their reaction!
I just imagine a white guy berating scammers in their own language with a native accent 🤣🤣fucking brutal. Also big fan of your stuff, I saw you at Tank nightclub in Sheffield, you're an absolute deck god! I'm going to see you at Creamfields 2024, hyped asf!
@VDLVL-px3jn I am a Sri Lankan and think no sri Lankan begger will stand being yelled at. Sinhala egos are very big, they will probably fight him if he berated him .
@@199bookmaker Cryptic in real life has a sleeper build, which means he's really fit but it doesn't look like he has muscles when he covers his body well. No one would dare fight with him LOL
@@199bookmaker Like VDLVL said, I don't look very big at first glance, but I do have a fair bit of muscle. I don't think I'd actually start a fight, not unless they throw the first punch :)
Hi Karl, I'm a big fan of yours, and I watch your videos. This one just blew my head off. I'm a Sri Lankan living in Canada for about 39 years. I haven't been back home since. But seeing this scam, it's mind boggling. We are planning on going to Sri Lanka next year, (God willing), and thank you for exposing this.
Very well done. Hats off. Eye opener for all the tourists visiting sri lanka.
Say No for Scammers.
Wow that guy even went out of the way to share half the rickshaw fair only to sit back in it and take back the money..i can only imagine how many innocent tourist get ripped off.Karl great awareness video mate 👍..
Yeah, that was a very smart move by him I thought. But too bad I could tell they're working together.
@@KarlRock exact same concept happens in Bangkok!
Thank you very much for exposing these scammers who are ruining the reputation of this beautiful country for few bucks. Best way is to use a taxi with a meter on it so you don't have to negotiate pricing.
You played along just to show us the game, really appreciate your patience.
Thank you so much for exposing these scammers Karl. We, locals are also tired of them. Be careful from scammers trying to get sympathy by telling sob stories. Requesting money is always coming after a sob story.
Just finish melting , now feet up and time for a few beers and watch my favourite scam covering channel😁👊🏻🇦🇺🇳🇿🍻🍻🍻🍻
cheers Karl
Just watched a few of your videos. Very satisfying to see what comes out at the end!

Hi Karl, I have been with your channel from a very long time and if I ever knew you are in Sri Lanka, I my self personally would have visited you. I am a big fan of yours from a very long time. I accidentally came across this video yesterday on facebook, and most of the people never have heard about you there, I told to everyone there how much brave you are and how much of work you do in order to put the scammers behind bars and single handedly you could have taken this man's teeth out because you are a guy with that much of guts to do one man show to expose big time crooks. Nice to see you once again and hope you have enjoyed the stay and as a sri lankan and globe trotter my self, I am really sad to see this happened to you!!! Have a great time!!!
For people that claim to be religious, they seem to have no moral character.
I had one who wouldn't leave me alone. He was quite a nice guy though. Waited outside my hotel for 2 hours and took me where I wanted to go and took pics. He followed us for hours then and I resorted to buying him beers and stuff. Had to tell him he can go now
Really annoying. I like my space. I have cero tolerance for clingy people.
@@Areli_Precious I don't either especially when I was with my wife. I didn't want to be rude but he outstayed his welcome after 3 hours and myself and wife wanted dinner alone so paid him to go haha
As an introvert I would’ve told them to F off lol. Dis my vacation. What if they kidnap u? I don’t even trust the people out in the streets in my peaceful city lol
@@hulme187
At first I thought you were saying that when you were with your wife she was clingy, lol.
But dang, he sounded horrible! If you didn’t pay him that much, I wonder if it was truly worth 3 hours of his life working to get that money.
@@strawberrysherbet9679 dude exactly
It's so nice to see a video pop up like this, Sri Lanka is filled with scammers in every touruist attractions sites, As Citizens we do get scammed by these people, not only colombo every part of Srilanka is special for different types of scammers, your video help so much for new visitors to our country, keep rocking Karl❤️.
I just subscribed crazy how you put yourself in danger to expose this scumbags
I am actually from Sri Lanka and never knew this happened in my country. Really sorry you had to go through this. I was also suprised you added subtitles.
Karl, Bro thanks for showing about this scammers in Sri Lanka. They destroying our Goodwill in our country. Thanks
Hi Karl! this is extremely outrageous. These kinds of scams and extortions seem common around tourists in Colombo. Being a citizen, I'm truly ashamed of such malicious acts taken place in my hometown. Since you have witnessed these occurrences, you could be mindful next time on your flight to Sri Lanka. I wish you the best and a safe journey ahead.
I'm ashamed to watch this as a Sri Lankan... Great work Karl for exposing these scammers & their tricks!
Awesome content Karl 👏 👌, have been binge watch on way to work for a couple of days.
Oh...this shitty people spoil the country's good name and image.
As a local, I apologize on behalf of all Sri Lankan's for the trouble you faced. You did bravo. Don't afraid, don't get panic. Any tourist coming t SL, if you face such an incident and make your voice out, there will be hundreds of Sri Lankan people on your side to protect you against those scammers. Don't afraid. Ask for a help.
Karl, If you can please send the footage to foreign ministry or Police head quarters (not to a local station) to take actions against those people and similar rising scammers.
Enjoy your visit!
Hi Rasun, you don't need to apologise. The video will help all tourists avoid these people and enjoy their time in Sri Lanka. I should've mentioned to ask a nearby local for help actually. Just like we saw my subscriber at the beginning of the video, everyone on the street will help guests.
As a Sri Lankan, Its good that you are bringing light to these scammers. They like to take the advantage of tourists not being in Sri Lanka long enough to know the prices which is just awful.
He is the guy from your other taxi video 4 years ago! (The man in the blue on the thumbnail) Keep up catching these scammers and help others! Thank you x
Amazing! You’re scamming the scammers🤣🤣🤣🤣 Love it bro!
It’s so sad that people spend money flying to countries like this, spend money on hotels, spend money of food, spend money on souvenirs, but they still have to worry about getting scammed and taking advantage of.. I’m sure these videos help thousands of people!! God bless Karl 🙏
It's sad that alot of third world countries are like this. My relative went to Honduras and even the cops were asking for $ for them to "guide" you and just direct you.
Thank you Karl for spreading joy literally around the world. Much love.
Excellent detective work! Nicely exposed. Great guidance for the tourist Carl!
This happens in places around the world where there is a lot of tourism and stark contrast in social classes. Absolutely classic one this scam. Stay vigilant!
First, don't allow a random stranger to take you around town (they always want something from you, usually money). Secondly, the gem stores if they could make double overseas, they would be selling directly to those stores/customers. Businesses don't stay in business if they are operating at a -50% loss constantly. They are obviously making a profit even after giving you a "discount" or they're selling fakes. If you seriously about buying gems, always get a trusted third party source to verify the authenticity and value of the gem before buying. Good info vid.
I am glad they are caught on Camara ! Hope this stops these scammers, & give good prospective of sri lankan tourism !🇱🇰🤘
I hope he took footage to the authorities.
This video is going viral in Sri Lanka. Hope Tourism Authorities will take an action. So sorry not everyone is doing this. really happy you avoid this shi*ty scammer. Love from Sri Lanka, Stay safe
he’s very tired but willing to help a foreigner who’s out taking pictures hahaha
There are many good people in Sri Lanka among scammers like this .. Beware of these people. And thank you Karl for share this and make more vlogs like this. Its much help for other tourist people. Love from Sri Lanka 🇱🇰
Thank you Karl. We got so many scammers like this in Sri Lanka. We really appreciate you for showing the reality.
Good work bro, love from 🇱🇰😍 and this is helpful for Locals also.
NO ONE CAN TELL ME THIS GUY ISN'T PEWDIEPIE'S BROTHER
We got scammed in exactly the same way. My wife is by birth Sri Lankan with a little bit of Punjabi roots. She went hard on the driver and threatened to call the police. Driver got scared and we payed a descent price, but we learned our lessons.
Thank you Karl for this video. As someone who is part Sri Lankan and went 3 times. I am glad you were able to make this video for everyone that follows you so they would be aware when they go to Sri Lanka
You taught a good lesson and I am glad you did that.
Hey Karl, As a Sri Lankan, I feel shame about these people and very sorry about this. Also sometimes srilankans also getting scammed by these people. Also i have to thank you for exposing these type of people, your video was on news too. Best way to avoid these type of scammers, Uber of pickme.
Karl please make more content like this. This is why I subscribed to your Channel. You playing stupid and then confronting them is so satisfying to watch
The streets of Colombo look really nice. Shame about these guys...
Truuuue bruhhhh! Kia Ora Karl Rock 🤙🏽 keep up the goods mahi bruthaaa! 💯
6:40 the way his voice breaks at the end when u start enquiring about so-called "certification" xD
I’m srilankan Jaffna. But living in Switzerland 🇨🇭. Yeah so many scams in Colombo i know well. So bad people are doing scamming. Your doing good job bro. 👍
Sri lanka is a beautiful country with lovely locals and walking scammers. Its great of you to create this video as a help to other tourists. We cannot stop these scams man best is to know what is present and avoid them. I think u have done a great job in this case
Great video bro coz it help those innocent people who are exploring newly and one thing that I'll like to tell you is that becare full wherever you are.....🥰
Man I am so sorry u had the experience this. But u did really well and awesome job. I am a sir Lankan and I am so ashamed of these people. As you mentioned, real Sri Lankan would never do this and they will drop you off for free.
Wow 4,800. Thanks for letting people know the real deal. We need more of these videos
Big Fan Bro Karl . . You're just teaching us a survival techniques and spreading awareness to survive from scammers and their rat trap
Carl very sad to see things like this happening in Sri Lanka,luckily you did a correct way of handling these types of scammers.
Thank you for showing us the scam. What a hassle for visitors 🤮
Thanks for spreading awareness!
nice video! luckyly nothing similar happened to me in my time there :)!
most drivers had fair prices. especially in Kandy :)!
looking forward to more vlogs :)!
Hehe Domi. Im watching your Srilankan series ... Thank you for making videos about Sri Lanka and support tourism of SL
Yo! how are you enjoying Nepal!
You’re offering a great public service, Karl
You are such a kind hearted person yet you have a backbone that I used to Not have and now I do. I love how you just don't give a fu.k where you are at and you refuse to be taken advantage of. Just please my friend be careful. It would really suck to hear you got hurt by one of these types of people.
I think the best mindset to have when traveling in most countries is
1. Trust no one
2. Do your research and know your prices.
3. Use street smarts.
I have been to srilanka last year on December ..We've been scammed from Airpot to government hospital for five minutes drive to PCR TEST..The tuk tuk driver charged us Rs 35..0000/= I was shocked and we paid because of the flight will delay..So beware these scammers...
Sounds like i will probably never go to sri lanka
And if i do ill have a guide
one of the best channels exposing scams.... thank you sir.
Love the work you do
Sir, I am a Sri Lankan. I'm deeply ashamed that you had to go through this. There are actual friendly locals. Everyone is not like this. I would like to apologize behalf of my island nation and I hope you visit Sri Lanka again.
Pro tip: in case if you can’t catch an Uber, only get in to three wheelers who have meters installed. Meters are typically installed overhead on the top left side of the windscreen (on the inside). Meters will give you fares on fair and transparent basis.
Hahaha disappointment in the end for scammers. Loved the video 🔥🔥
My sapphires were worthless when I tried to resell in UK. A gem dealer said they were full of flaws.
My dad is a tuk tuk driver and i can proudly say he have never did this to ANYONE!!😊
Thanks so much for the awareness of those scammers bro!!
You're absolutely right when you say these people on the streets of Colombo aren't to be trusted. I visited last month, and wow, they're out to get you. I got to Colombo after exploring other parts of the country, and boy was I in for a surprise...left a bad taste in my mouth, those experiences with tuktuk drivers. And every single one of them wanted to take us to a gem store, even telling us they'd get free kerosene even if we don't purchase anything. Out of politeness we went in the first time, but after seeing every single driver doing that, we knew better. One took us to a random joint for breakfast after a tourism person told him to take us to an attraction not far from Fort, but thankfully there were locals at that spot and the food was fine. And I'll never know why those meter tuktuks have 60 or 70 (I'm not sure) as their zero point. I started booking just Pick Me rides (between these two, a massive difference in prices) after these experiences, even if those would take longer to arrive.
India main tho 500 Do bol the hai ,but Karl be like 250 le lo 😎, ya Ghar jao
Because its is the minimum price for a tuk tuk ride in Sri Lanka ! (50-60-70)
It is worse in another country that I visited recently where the tuktuk driver drove near to an isolate place with his friends in another tuktuk following me and they robbed me and I had to jump off a bridge to escape them and they even tried to rip off my pants I was wearing to steal them .

was looking for people who have been to Arugam Bay. I’ve been scammed 5 times in one day. Once for a SIM card. Once with a mechanic, twice with a hotel same as above ‘misunderstanding with booking’ and had to pay the police because I didn’t use my turn signal, on a straight road going straight. The prices here are absolutely ridiculous compared to the rest of SL, 3000 for curry and rice (normally 700 everywhere else) I’ve just seen a breakfast menu for a ‘Turkish breakfast’ at 5000. If you walk down the street without a helmet in your hand you get harassed by tuktuks. It’s absolutely abysmal and full of s****y people. Find a better friendlier place to go on your holidays guys. Srilanka is not it. I’ve traveled indo and Thailand extensively and never had experiences like this.
you deal with 'em so smoothly and with a bold attitude.....some tips please ...
Hi Karl, awesome vlog as normal. Just to say. my wife and i have travelled extensively all over the world and even lived in Lagos nigeria but we were caught by one of the street scammers in Sri Lanka, very clever and almost exactly the same way you were scammed in this vlog. Such a shame as the majority of Sri Lankans we met were amazing. Take note everyone and follow Karls advice.
2:30 Oh look at the time i am very tired 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
😂
thank you very much for making that video, it is very useful. God bless you.
I love the guide's demeanor change after the gem store. Before it's all "so happy to meet you, I don't mind taking some of my time off to show you around.
After Karl doesn't buy anything from the scam store: "ok"
Same situation with the tuktuk drivers in Bangkok ,
If you let them know in advance you know the scam , taking you to a gem shop or a tailor , you can get the ride for free. You need to spend at least 10 minutes or so in the chosen shop and the tuktuk driver will get a 300 baht fuel coupon from the shop owner . ( just for bringing you there )
Used to go all over BKK for free playing along with the tuktuk drivers,
If you buy something they can get as much as 40% of what you spent in that store.
That’s the reason why they’re so keen to drive you around.
You need to say before you get in ,” I want to go there or there , 1 stop only so the ride is for free !! “ , they’ll agree without hesitation.
Hi Karl, always loved what you do, bringing light to so many things ..please stay for a lil longer exposing all these 2bit scammers...Uber and Pickme travelling apps helps a lot, if no choice, always go by a metered taxi..non metered ones are always scammers
Thanks - For the Good advice - Many tourists will appreciate your video on these scammers tricks !

Thank you Karl for exposing these con men. You being a tall ,strong man helps in not being bullied by these pests. I hope the Sri Lankan Police are onto this, and not just turning a blind eye for a bribe. Love your videos....Keep exploring
Really sorry for what happened to you brother. Few stupid people are destroying the image of the whole community.
