- This happened near Kensington Palace opposite the University. They impersonated police officers. We are from Singapore.
For those asking what is the scam , refer to this www.google.co....
Thanks to L Hayes for the link.
The British police officers are very good in impersonating and speaking dialects of southern Europeans or eastern Europeans......
hongsien kwee 😂😂
They sound like shit
Innit
Yep. But is it a bad thing?
@@heartdut5834 Those two 'police officers' that appear at the end are not real ones, they belong to the scam group incl the first guy in black suit, and they speaking in non- Britsh dialect gives their give away that they are no police
It’s a simple rule of travel that anyone who takes too much interest in you is probably gonna try something. The honest people are too busy working and getting on with their lives. Doesn’t mean you have to avoid everyone, but instantly, instantly, you should raise your level of suspicion.
Nah depends where you go, some countries people are just interested in you because they get fuck all tourists
@@okok72277 I have been to countries where the tourists are rare and the locals are curious. That’s fine. What I am talking about is the need to raise your level of suspicion. You don’t need to accuse anyone or avoid anyone. There might be a bunch of people helping or watching or pointing you in the right direction. But when someone emerges from the crowd, speaks your language (and probably half a dozen languages, not that there’s anything wrong with that!) and wants to slide smoothly into your daily activities, just be aware. This person has targeted you. Your first reaction is to be friendly and trustworthy. Be that way, but not blindly.
Wise advise .
YES
When you see someone with a real paper map with the technology we have now and doesn't look like Dora, it's a scammer.
If those two are british police officers, I am Mr. Bean
Rowan? Is this you?
@@leewilliams9904 tldr
the crazy thing is that there are now men and women with thick foreign accents working in the UK Police.. and cops were corrupt thugs before that anyway..
If those two are British Police officers I Am "James Bond"
@@MoBench25 Too right Jimmy! 😎
I love these police officers. They talked to you in a different accent so you feel like at home. Very kind
LMFAO 😂
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
U clown
Hahahahahhaha epic
Maybe they were same all a team
If the person isn’t 100 years holding a foldable map it should be a red flag!
My friend held a foldable map in the centre of Bogotá colombia. Thank god someone helped him
@@cmmndrblu thank god he didint get murdered, ive been there and let me tell ya, it aint pretty
I use foldable maps at state parks
I work at a hotel and you would not believe me how many people still ask for foldable maps.
@theflyingjew not all of them
When you see someone with a real paper map with the technology we have now and doesn't look like Dora, it's a scammer.
another good point
Horrible take. Most tourists actually do use paper maps considering that international data costs are astronomical and you don’t want to be dependent on accessing wifi in order to do something as simple as access a bus map.
@Mars🚀 If you think that is untrue you have clearly never visited a popular tourist location; specifically one that is popular among those of a foreign nation.
@Mars🚀 it is true lmao. I was using a paper map when i went to italy because the internet was so slow lol
anyone who is a complete stranger desperately wanting to talk to you that bad for more than 30 seconds on the street is a scammer. Like i know there's plenty of idiots out there who probably would fall for this, but are they just completely unaware of how suspicious they look? I mean jesus christ.
Fake police : can I see your ID and Passport?
Tourist: Can I see your ID?
Fake police: you don't have to be worree
Looool can't stop laughing 😂😂

Wow!! the police british accent was superb!!
😂🤣
You don't have to be worreee
He never once mentioned the bladdy wevva!
because british police officers can't be foreign-born?
"I'm from Italy,"!! and I have same accent as Borat. And my fake police buddies!!
Funny thing, I'm from itally but my english accent sounds like borat because i'm also romanian :)))
Are they act like police and try to gain trust is that italian guy and this police together?
... I like ...
Yeah man he does not sound Italian
The only Italian was the one with the glasses
Well done to the guy for being alert and asking to check their ID. I often work close to this area and have heard of this scam several times from tourist. Usually it’s hard to build a picture of what actually happened. This gives me great insight.....and what to look out for.
Lovely crap warrant cards haha
The so called police just so happened to have identical accents and look related to the guy asking for "help" 😂. The way they hurriedly flashed their I.Ds has me 😂.
Officer:
“You don’t have to be worry”
At that moment I would have obeyed everything he said.
😭😂😂😂😂😂😂
Thats also a great pickup line
He is not from Italy, clearly.
They are so ridiculous that the situation is funny!!
He is Romanian 100% I know that Couse of his accent

Now we only need a "He's not from Italy. Said by a romanian".
In my head I read that with and Italian accent.
He’s not from Italy.
Said by a Roman (not “-ian”, just Roman).
Close enough?
@@jetaddicted It's ok only if your name is Ian
as soon as they switch from asking for directions to "where are you from" and "how far is it from singaporE" you know what they're up to. People who don't know their way concentrate on hearing the directions.
"You don't have to be worry" 😆
Tourists should be played these videos on the plane before they land in England.
Yep! Or at least a quick reminder...
hahahah oh come on , should they be reminded to wipe their arses too ? common sense should be applied here.
cesspool of everything
A tourist wearing a business suit that’s def the giveaway right there. I’ve traveled all over the world and I’ve only worn a suit for two weddings one in London and one in Cebu other than that I wore my everyday clothes when sight seeing. So this man in the suit is defiantly up to something fishy, never trust a stranger taking too much interest in you and asking too many questions like where you’re from, how’d you get here, where you’re staying, where you’re planning to go next etc. I’ve had multiple scammers try to corner me while abroad but to no luck on their side I’d just keep walking and show little to no attention to them.
Can you clarify the exact nature of the scam that was about to go down in this video? It wasn't clear to me and I saw at least one other comment from someone who also couldn't figure it out.
@@moneyguy2008 As you can see, the fake police sent away the "tourist" very quickly after the "control". Then they want to check your wallet, because the "tourist" may have changed counterfeit money sold you drugs, whatever. Then the steal (ahem: confiscate) the "counterfeit money" as "evidence" probably.
@@kleinerfeigling8277 Oh, ok. Thank you!
So true, it's annoying if you have to wear a suit to work every day who the heck goes on holiday and wants to wear a suit? Maybe about 3 people in the world lol
@@adamharris-batt6333 I saw a similar thing on TV. A "Marine" showed up in his uniform to stand guard at a school to protect children from active shooters.. He got a LOT of positive press, but I knw instantly the guy was a fraud. because when my brother came home on leave, he would instantly shed his uniform until the very last moment he needed to climb back into it...
They target vulnerable people, they won't target anyone who would get pissed and rock their jaw.
The “Italian” guy is just like the rest of us. Do you not just fancy popping your suit on and going to Madame Tussauds, on your own? Give him a break, jeez. 🙄
not Italian these are romanians
He is Italian as Gandhi
@@kayumkhalifa2752 Yeah, that's why I put the Inverted commas on I "Italian" lol.
he looks middle easter or from North Africa
Not italian , you can tell from look and accent. We italians easily recognize other italians when abroad. Can't get wrong !
In London and some sleazy guys with non English accent says
''Ve er da police''
I think I would say ''yes and I am Micky mouse''
Nice to meet you.
What cop wears a watch like that to work?
The watch on the "police officer" priceless 😅
our police don't ask those questions first..( can I see your passport or ID) our police don't have that terrible accent either...regardless of where they are from.. I've lived in London all my life and NEVER heard of this or it ever been reported in our news.
@Pull out The lapel You seem to very quickly think of abusing and killing women and touching kids, are you sure it's not you that enjoys it?
Different accent doesn't mean it's terrible...You cant expect people to sound English when they're not even born there
@@habesha6883 some people think their accent the sound of heaven and believe that the whole world should master their accent lol
@@habesha6883 You expect the police to have better English than that shit. Nobody in the British police force in the whole country speaks as foreign sounding as that.
But when you stop to think about it, "You don't have to be worry" are true words of wisdom.
It looks like Bucharest accent. It was a try with a double scam: "the map" used to hide the long hands and "the policeman" used to steal your "fake" money.
Golden rule in London, if you are in a Tourist spot & someone asks for help just say 'i know nothing about anything' and walk on.
@@StephanBijzitter depends on where and who it is
Manuel - I 'i know nothing
I don't even reply, look, listen. Just keep walking.
In your best British accent sat ' I don't speak English ' confuses the fuck out people. I done this in Paris and matey who was trying to sell me something, didn't know what to say.
@@LC76182 Exactly. The moment you say anything is the moment you've engaged and entered into a social transaction. Just ignore completely. You don't owe anyone the time of day.
“You don’t have to be Worry, ok”
No one approaches anyone without an agenda in mind. Always have an extremely high suspicion level with strangers no matter the nationality, if you're abroad, even if you think theyre the least bit trust worthy. I actually thought this was going to be a pick pocket scenario but instead it was a poor identity theft scheme. If you are abroad you absolutely need to be aware of your surroundings because many bad things can happen.
Yes!
I've seen Taken. I understand 🙂
@@jessicaandtrains7768 You'd be surprised at how many people blindly trust and follow, if they didn't no one would be running scams🤷 France in particular was full of pickpockets on all occasions that I went where they do a "magic trick" and someone pickpockets you from behind. Police showed up and pulled (and I counted) 6 Samsungs and 11 wallets from ONE of them. Stranger danger is highly underrated.
So sorry this happened to you and glad you were wise to ask for their Id's. I hope the rest of your trip was safe and pleasant
Great that you were alert! Thanks for uploading the video so others will know about the scam!
I would have followed him from behind and called the police
"Normally we are here to protect you". The way he phrased that made it seem like only 90 percent of the time the police is supposed to protect you, the other 10 percent good luck on your own. It'd be funny if the real police said that :D
Also he mentioned lastly that he would have trouble with the 'big police' if he didn't comply...
5 years ago my brother took a trip to Las Vegas and this guy convinced him (how I don’t know) to invest $25K in this supposed new hotel. Well, one day not too long after the trip my brother tried to contact the guy….phone messages and emails were never returned. My brother was too embarrassed to report it. I still can’t believe he fell for that scam
Im not trying to insult your brother but if he was that stupid to give 25k to a stranger then he deserves what he got. Scammers exist because of people like your brother
poor guy.they saw him coming
Lmao😂
He’s not from Italy, he’s from romania. There are many Romanians that also live in Italy as gyspies and scammers so I’m assuming he’s lived there for a couple years.
Also we were looking for building work at our home and we found a Romanian guy that was posing as an Italian guy. We found out he was Romania from his WhatsApp status LOL and that idiot wanted us to pay 40% up front and said he will leave his tools at our home. He was potentially looking at a £1400 upfront payment and thought leaving a few paintbrushes and half empty paint cans would suffice. LOL
Romanian 100%
Romas... never seen a successful roman in my country lol
Like u
of course...
@@Manuel-me1yi bruh, really bragging about your PC? Lmao, what has humanity come to.
They always say there Italian as well
It would be more realistic if the police had said "hello, hello, hello! "
Hello, hello, hello, what's all this then?
I speak 6-7 languages conversationally. I know very basic greetings and phrases in several other languages as well. So when I met a pair of guys who told me they were Southern Italian (clearly looked Romanian or Bulgarian…), I instantly greeted them with “Ciao amico, piacere, come stai?” They could not look more helpless. They uttered a pitiful ciao in response and I knew from that moment these guys were amateurs.
On the other hand, I’ve met scammers who are extremely talented linguistically and can speak several languages almost fluently. Which makes them so dangerous, and as a polyglot myself, be skeptical when someone can speak that many languages. Haha
Should we be skeptical with you too? Hahaha
@@Uquelele3000 you can be!
Hey - I was scammed in London too - a guy told all the locals wear the Fuzzy Union Jack top hats - I bought one to blend in and never saw anyone else wearing one
I'm trying to figure out the scam here. To me it looked like the Ministry of Silly Walks was out for a stroll.
If you are a tourist, this is my advice:
1. Tell the police in civilian clothes, that you are a tourist and do not know about police procedures or how IDs look like.
2. Tell them, you call 911 to check their names on the ID if they are real.
3. Then call 911 and check it (at least 911 can tell you if there are any unmarked police units in the area and send uniformed support in case).
Normal police would understand your worries. Criminals would run or harass you.
Of course, this only works in stable countries. In Mexico, you put a 20 or 50 $ bill in your passport and do not care if it is the real police or some armed gang member.
@@kleinerfeigling8277 911 won't net you anything in London, it's 999 in the UK and 112 internationally
As a tourist , never let any one block your walking in the street ! They are scammers!
They didn't even have to open their mouths. I saw that huge Rolex knockoff and alarm bells started going off
Often times, people who hold large maps out in front of you, looking and pointing around to distract you, are usually pickpockets. In this day and age with mobile phones and Google maps, nobody needs directions. I had PR in Singapore for 5 years, wonderful wonderful place... and I’m sorry that you guys experienced these scammers.
Almost the same thing happened to me earlier at Gosfield Street - 5min away from Oxford Street.
Guy asking for directions, then a "police officer" came - I shoved the "police officer" out of my way and walked away
This was done to me in Prague. One "officer" was doing the chat and another flashing a strobe light wanting to examine our paper money for drug trace...which of course would have been positive and confiscated ! They were given the heave ho !
this comment should be higher
This is why people are so wary of anyone else and dont show good manners initially.
same way most women mistrust men
That happens everywhere. A while ago i saw near the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam 2 guys posing as undercover cops. They stopped a group of 5 Chinese tourists, flashed some fake ID and demanded to see their passports and wallets. They said they were looking for counterfeit money. When they saw i was watching them they got pissed and told me to fuck off. When i replied in Dutch they had no clue what i was saying. They sounded East European. I called the police who had a team of undercover cops in the neighbourhood. (A pickpocket team) They were there in 5 minutes and caught the scumbags.
Dit gebeurt zelfs in Nederland? Wtf nooit gedacht
These mofos need a good pasting and broken bits and returned to the shithole they came from.
A Romanian thief who impersonated a police officer to prey on tourists has been jailed for 10 months.
Chirica Dragnea, 52, was sentenced on Friday at the Old Bailey for this part in an organised gang that engineered an elaborate scheme for conning visitors to the City of London, the Square Mile's police force said. City of London Police said Dragnea, along with an accomplice, would pose as a tourist and a police officer to lull their victims into a false sense of security.
The ruse involved the fake tourist asking an unsuspecting member of the public for directions on a map, providing an opportunity for the impersonated police officer to intervene, the force said.
The fake officer would then take advantage of the real tourist's unfamiliarity with British police procedures to begin searching them for counterfeit money. During the search, the crooks took items including cash, identity cards and bank cards, and sometimes even demanded the victim's bank card pin. Police said Dragnea was arrested last year by genuine officers after being found in possession of an "official-looking" ID card in a black flip wallet.
He was dressed smartly, and with an accomplice dressed like a tourist with a fake camera around his neck.
I would definitely fall for this. So convincing 😄
are you kidding me mate. Random 2 people claiming to be police, thick foreign accent, no officer uniforms, hardly wants to show ID, big golden watch, no gear whatsoever... Are you the most gulliable person on the planet?
@@llVIU I see you're not great with sarcasm.
The old scammer(the policeman) got 10 months for stealing an id card and other things during the scam. Stealing an idcard should be at least 5 years imo. That's more personal than cash.
what the hell are you talking about, don't just make shit up
The Italian Borat and his mates rehearsing a comedy show before attending Britain's Got Talent 😂 so people please u don't have to be worri.
Here's how it should be... caught scamming people in England when you're from another Country, you're sent home on the next flight and banned from the Country permanently. Simple as that. Nobody should be allowed to come to England, walk the streets and prey on the public and other tourists. Not saying its okay for English to do it..but visiting another Country is a privilege not a right, and should be a privilege you don't get to enjoy anymore when you abuse it.
The same "policeman" and same "tourist" approached me and my husband last year at Bayswater(night time) asking for direction to Oxford when we on our way back to our accommodation. The policeman said that the "tourist" maybe selling drugs and want to check our bag. Please be alert and be extra careful. We are very lucky they did not harm us or stole anything from us. If they ever stop you anywhere near Bayswater please walk away.
This means they got out of jail doing the same thing again lol :(
They look like eastern euro car wash part time police lol! Yeah really ffs!
I've not seen a cop in public for years and I live here
No I think the guy who has the map is actually in on it. He pretends to believe them, so the couple would incline and fall for the fake police officers approach.
I hope this is a sarcastic comment. Of course he's on on it

First guy's english accent is definately not italian - it was typical romanian.
My sisters just got scammed similar like this at Moscow Road just last saturday 7dec.
A man pretending to be a tourist asked the my sis to take pic for him, and shortly afterwards 3 men pretending to be police came by and asked for their ID and wallet as if to verify. They even body search my 2 sisters, bro in low and his wife. When they reached hotel, they found out some of their money were missing from their wallets and pockets. More that few thousand Sg dollars, few hundred pounds gone.
People..pls be careful as this is real and happening in broad daylight.
Police report made and also reported to Singapore High Commision.
They are now just back in Sg this afternoon after all the trauma.

The chap in the suit be like ‘No no no! I’m a tourist’ whilst he has a Barclays card in his wallet..
They’re lucky one of his buddies wasn’t picking their pockets while they stood there looking at the map.
I wonder 80% Europe is classified as a developed country. But, the people here really have to be careful and especially in Paris I swear.
Bizarre Middle Eastern Man: "Can I see your ID?!?" San Antonio Tourist: ' No! But Can I see YOUR ID?!?"
Wooow I love the British accent of the police!
And the way they were sneaking around whilst ahead of them was already very weird.
Best part - The way they pulled out their so called police IDs and waived it.
Firstly who uses maps any more when we have smart phones that can take you right there.
me...i dont have a smart phone, or a gps, or anything technological.
Well good for you, but you are an exception unless you’re over a certain age.
tekmology...whats it all about? is it goo or is it whack?
I do. A map won't go offline.
Stephen Reeds It’s good as a back up, but most use their phones these days or at least we used to.
So the scam is maybe the wait for the target to pull out their wallet for them to snatch? How does this scam work?
Impersonating police with intimidation tactics, asking for wallet, pulling money out asking if they are fake, they palm the money and put back one bill with fast movements and stuff like that.
@@damiresq thanks
@@shaks2085 just red few more comments and found out they also just take all the money as "evidence" and invite you to meet at the police station :)) I cant believe they get away with that

I just met this fake police officer about 2 hours ago. Similar encounter. 99% sure it was the same people and accents. The people with me didn’t know what to do and I couldn’t convince them that is was all fake and to come with me. These dudes got incredibly close to seeing the dentist.
"we are here to protect you"
of course sir.. of course
You know you're screwed when the British police tells you "You don't to bee worree" with a nice Slavic accent.
Hope this video has been passed onto the actual British police.
All 3 guys working together.. see how after the fake tourist guy sets up and after his job is done.. they tell him to go.. getting him out of the picture.
More than a decade ago, Me and my friend was caught up in a fraud similar scenario to this.
These fraudsters are serious criminals and definitely should be behind bars for a very very long time. .. maybe never out. The impact these fraudsters have on innocent lives is very devastating and if able to recover it could take years.
Fun fact: They were real police!
After hundreds of thousands of views they are probably still free on the streets scamming
I can confirm that the two guys that appear in this video are indeed *Lying Squad Officers*
This is a extremely dangerous scam.
Why
As soon as you hear a foreign voice walk away
London is a busy city so anyone that has time to talk to strangers for "directions to madame tussauds" is someone you need to keep your eye on.
some guys flashed a badge at me in Mayfair, I was showing my visiting bro and his wife around London, unfortunately for the fake cops I've lived in London 30 years and have seen it all, I actually tried to get one of them in a headlock, he totally shit his pants when I lunged at him, we scuffled a bit and he ran off, my only regret is I din't immediately get him with a sucker punch but maybe next time.
what is their end game? I don't understand exactly how the scam works or how they profit from it
@@kpjlflsknflksnflknsa They take the pasports, will then sell them on to others for ID theft
Lucky you didn't get a knife in the back; they gang up on one or two victims, (especially a old couple), and sometimes do attack them if you resist their con/scam.
Good for you mate, that's what they'd get off me if they try anything.
I would of done the same man if they tried to steal from me good job.
"You don't have to be worry"
They're scammers, too. They're in this together.
The three of them are working together.
Anyone who wants to come with you after just meeting you...beware..if they want to show you their favorite place downstairs....leave immediately, do NOT go with them. Be aware, don't be a gullible tourist. "No, really, it's a great blues club downstairs...you'll love it."
Sorry can someone explain me how exactly this scam works? 🧐
I was actually trying to figure it out too...
They were already asking for the tourists ID.
So they would probably end up checking their bags trying to find goods, or blame them for something and ask for a fine.
These turkeys are about as believable as boris johnson.
This scam is comical.
"How long from here to Singapore?"
"By Tube about 100 years".
You can see them walking slowly in from of them
Forget asking the 'Police' for their ID's... just ask them to spell 'worry/worried!' lol
Ask them what shape the Circle Line is.
What's the scam though?? I know about the "money changing" scam... but the guy asking for directions never asked for any money, or even mentioned money, and the "fake cops" never asked to see or touch any money either, they just said they thought he was trying to scam them...
Watch you dont get smammed out there
*If you can't see the scam then you're on of the idiots who'll get scammed*
Felix Culpa the tourist knew it was a scam so started to ask the fake cops for ID that's when the scam failed and they knew it was time to move on. The cops and the Italian guy are together
@@JohnBrown-sn3kh maybe I'm dense but I still don't get it....is this the scam when they search you and steal your money?

Is not Italy
Ok the last part was hilarious when those two buffoons showed up claiming they are cops
I still laughing at the “cops” watch!
Can someone please explain the scam? I'm confused why the two men stopped the other guy, and what they were saying to the camera?
they claimed to be cops who knew that the first guy was a scam artist and passing counterfeit bills
they insist to see your passport and wallet to make sure that he hasnt passed you any bad money...claiming to be protecting you from getting into trouble for spending that money
they will then go though your wallet and steal your money
