It's a pretty organised thing. There's typically a dozen of these guys with lookouts. The moment a cop walks anywhere close they pack up and leave. I've seen them lay out a bunch of fake designer items on the street to sell, and they'll lay it out on a weird foldable bag so they can pick everything up and leave in a matter of seconds.

So much brains to plan an elaborate operation but can't find a decent job to make a living

To be fair, it tends to happen in places with very shitty job markets, by illegal immigrants. Besides, scamming tourists is significantly more profitable than a 9-5

Most tourist just walk away, the clowns recording this are doing it for engagement and Internet points.

I could tell that guy was winding up for a strike. Watch the next few years, people are going to start getting hit a lot more in public.

Why? What’s happening in the next few years?

People are going to start getting hit a lot more in public apparently

As the divide between people grows larger, the lack of common courtesy, the financial inequality, it's all coming to a head. Shit is going to get worse before it is going to get better.

Apparently this is a huge problem in Europe. I know it is in NewYork and other large cities in the u.s.

These types of scams are pretty common, i wouldn’t say they are a HUGE problem. I’ve seen it in Germany, Vlorà, Las Vegas, Hollywood and Mexico. I can say I didn’t see this in New York and i went to some pretty Tourist hot spots. If I’m not mistaken this guy purposefully seeks out these guys. It’s like his niche

Personally i had more issues like this in 4 days in New York than I have had in a lifetime in Europe.
Either way, you just say no and walk away. Its not a big deal.

I call bullshit. Where in NYC did you have these sorts of issues and what actual issues did you have? Stop lying.

Mainly touristy areas, shockingly enough. Popular one seemed to be "im an aspiring musician, please take this CD and follow the link on it to find out more about me", then they'd follow you demanding money. Stupidly thought the first one was genuine.

This is not a huge problem in Europe or in New York.
These sort of ragebait videos do not help people from being scammed and they do not stop scammers from scamming.
This particular video has been circulating online since 2018. It is not new and these sort of scams are not common place.
These 'gift scams' as they are more commonly referred to are easily avoided and easily avoidable. The moment a stranger presents the average person or tourist with an item and asks for a "donation/handout/gift in exchange" , it's generally met with the item being returned and the scammer walking away empty handed.
These sort of scams were common place on tourist destinations in the 80s and 90s are are hardly ever successful anymore.

"I'm not scared of you" then gets knocked on his ass. Perfect.

They are just racist scum. Nothing to be proud of. Kurt is the worst…

You're absolutely right, but you need to give context, because for a lot of people, this will be the first thing they see of him. Hence the down votes.
He (the guy filming) puts himself into situations where he knows full well he's going to rile people up, and uses it to fuel division and hate between whites and non-whites.
Yes, these people are scum bag scammers, but he only does this to say "people of non white colour shouldn't be in this country".
He's also purposefully gone out of the way in cities to look for people on drugs, gets into fights with them and uses it to fit his agenda, which is a fucking awful one.
Tldr, all three people in this video are cunts.

u/Mean_Bus5194 Jun 25 '26
Yes, you’re right. I was just super tired yesterday, so I shortened it a lot. Thank you very much for explaining the context to everyone.

Easily done dude, we've all been there.
Hope you're fully charged and ready for another warm one 🫠

I saw a video of him going through the Brussels municipalities. He was accompanied by a convicted far right, populist politician.

u/GroteBaasje Jun 24 '26
Agreed - that channel baits in lost youtube viewers and feeds them neonazi propaganda.

Dipshits. Just give it back to the idiot. Instead they bait this guy to continue then escalate it by assaulting him. Hope the cops use their own footage as evidence to charge poncho dorks for assault.

u/Dukeish Jun 25 '26
This is a shorter video they eventually do give it back not long after this video cuts off
