Exposing India's Begging Scams (Beware!)

Have you come across these begging scams? Not all beggars are genuine; I expose 3 fake beggars in this video so you know what to avoid when you travel to India. The most common begging scams I've come across are the Ranipur calamity fake charity scam, fake medical bills scam, and fake donation collectors.

These scams can happen anywhere in India. Begging scammers commonly target tourist areas, busy intersections, expensive parts of cities, and railway stations. If you meet any of them, just say "no" and keep walking. Don't fall for their lies. These are professional beggars who are trying to trick you into donating money to a fake cause.

If you want to give to beggars, you need to verify their story. If approached by a beggar who claims to be in a dire situation, exercise caution. Ask questions and evaluate their responses. Genuine individuals in need might provide coherent and consistent explanations.

Trust your instincts too. If something feels suspicious or doesn't seem right, trust your gut instinct. It's better to err on the side of caution and refrain from engaging with potential scammers.

Spread awareness: Share information about begging scams with friends, family, and your community. Increasing awareness about these scams can help protect others from falling prey to fraudulent schemes.

Here’s the 💩-on-the-shoe scam https://youtu.be/iKJoMO0vJ5c. 🔞 A lot of sleazy dance bars have popped up in this area too, watch my undercover investigation https://youtu.be/mqewOH5mxNM. 03:21 I'll report back if Manisha and I have twin boys. He couldn't tell me my mother or ex-girlfriend’s names either. Just remember, nothing is free on the streets. Beware of fake friendly stranger

Moral of the story: Never give money to someone who follows you or forces you to donate.

5:08 “You got to learn to say NO!” - The best advice! I used to be very soft-hearted and people were taking advantage of me because of that including the so called “friends” back then. It took years for me to learn to say no. If someone is around you because of benefits only, you’ll realize the truth the first time you say no.

I'm from India and i applaud you for bringing this to light and educating foreigners on these types of scams. I myself have been scammed plenty of times and it makes it harder to identify between genuine cases and fake ones. My advice is to Just don't trust those people and ignore them they will leave you alone.

I'm glad you're putting these videos out, the scary thing is that even Indians find these to be content they're not aware about. I've actually learned a lot about these scams. Cheers mate! 🍻

I fell for the hotel tariff scam while working in Bengaluru. A man came up to me with a story of having to be in the City but he cannot afford the hotel bill (if I recall). I paid something, but less than he wanted. A month later (when I was more of a veteran to life in India), the same guy came to me with the same exact story when I was downtown around MG and Brigade. I lost it on him, and made a scene, as I was frustrated and to let others around know not to fall for the scam.

These scams are very common in Delhi, I lived in Delhi for a good numbers of years and I have seen so many of these scammers, first time I met them I thought it was genuine but turned out it was scam. Karl I am sure your boldness of exposing these scams are saving lot of tourists. Keep up the good work.

Such a good video I really like watching them! Being an Aussie and wanting to travel to India one day soon I can now understand fully what I need to look out for! Both Karl and his Wife are so good at doing what they do 👍🏼👌🏼

Not just for foreigners visiting India, this is so helpful for locals as well. The first scam shown in the video, the exact same thing happened to me a month ago. Wish Karl had uploaded this video a month ago 😢

Best choice is to say NO and completely ignore them and walk away.

Hey Karl, I am a Fiji Indian living in NZ for 20 years. Some of the scams you are highlighting here are now starting to be reported in NZ now. Because I look Indian, I have been approached for money especially at Indian shops and Temple. On asking questions these scammers start becoming defensive and sometimes abusive which because of my Fijian blood makes me so angry, that I start yelling at them. They eventually leave but my experience with these Indians keeps me from visiting India as I feel my temper will get the better of me there after seeing your videos. Thanks for all the great videos and stay safe.
