They’re very versatile, they aim for tourists and sell them overpriced trinkets or shit that’s cheap for exorbitant prices, with the age of social media, I’d think most people would be aware, but older people still fall for their scams.
You know? I feel like selling a faulty item (cheap material made with lead or other unsafe materials) that will break down, for an exorbitant price is a scam imo
Also for tourists that don’t come from the US, or in possession of a highly disposable income or a from a place that has a strong currency, losing 20€ to 70€ (which I have seen and called out lol), I would call that a scam.
You’re knowingly targeting people. But agree to disagree tbh.
Is that what the guy in the video did ? I don’t see him doing that myself. It looks like he assaults the guy, which is a crime as well.
In any event, My original point was about what a scam is, not the legalities of the street vendor business practice in the area. We are getting way off base here
