Hello my name is Janik and I'm the honest guide based here in Prague Czech Republic and we just
0:16
filmed this scam that is not specific for Prague only but happens globally mainly in the capital
0:22
cities of Europe this is how it goes so you're walking on the street of a big city and somebody
0:27
approaches you with this piece of paper that says National Association for Children with
0:31
Disabilities and Deaf. He will himself pretend he's deaf and mute and will ask you for your
0:37
signature and for a donation. Well, guess what? This whole thing is a scam. If you give these
0:43
people some money, they will not go to handicapped children or people with disabilities. They will go
0:48
straight into their pocket. And also, it's fair to say that they're not deaf or mute. Once we pull
1:24
Can we look at the desk? No, I understand
1:34
I think we can... Okay, Central. Central. It's that way. I will take you there it okay but you pretend to be deaf No deaf You pretend that says right there Look it says right there Look Look it says right there you are crazy i not crazy i have the same thing look look at that see your friends just gave it
1:55

2:00

2:05
you're the mother i'm not a mother can you give us the paper we don't want you to
3:05
There is nothing in the paper. Yeah, you have it there. Nothing
3:09
You put it in your pocket. Nothing. You put it in your pocket. It's right there
3:13
It's right there. It's right there. Just give me the paper and I will leave
3:17
Just give me that paper. You have it in your pocket. You have it in your pocket
3:21
That's right there. Look, look, perfect, perfect. Oh, there you... What do you want for me
3:57
To tame? What do you want? Chill, chill. Just, just, just say
4:01
Go, go, go. Just say on the camera what you do. Just explain us what you do. No problem. Can you explain what you do
4:06
No, explain. Why not? No, no, not me. So you're violent. This is yours
4:11
What do you want? Okay, can we just sit and relax? What do you want
4:14
I want to understand what you want. Understand what you want. I'm just telling you what I want
4:20
I'm not. No, I'm not. You're a journalist? Yes. Journalist? Chill, chill, chill
4:24
Don't touch me. I'm not touching you. Chill, chill. Relax, relax, relax, relax
4:30
Relax. Relax. Relax. Do you want to report this to the police
4:35
Do you want to report it to the police? What do you want? What do you want
4:40
I want you to explain to me. I said to you, what do you want? And I'm explaining to you. If you let me finish, I can explain to you what I wanted
4:46
We have filmed the exact same scam like two years ago with a woman that was really strange
4:58
And now we found these three guys and then another guy. They were running away from us
5:07
All we asked for was to give us the papers, which they eventually did
5:11
They were quite violent and they just had no idea why we filming them I like why are you filming me scamming Let me do my job and I just scam a bunch of people here Well guess what Our job is to film you and make you famous
5:24
And of course, needless to say, this is not only a scam, but it is illegal and the cops are after them
5:31
Because according to this paper, this guy made like 7,000 crowns, almost 300 euros within a couple hours
5:38
The most disgusting part of this is that they're claiming to collect the money for children, for people with disabilities
5:45
but they're only putting it in their pocket. I don't want to say do not give to charities. No, we should give to charities
5:50
but we should do at least a minute research before we do so
5:54
Look up charities you want to donate to. There's plenty of them online. We'll put some links below under the video if you do want to contribute
6:02
But this is not a charity. This is a scam. It's illegal. And instead of reading this, you should just read big letters
6:09
Scam. And now that I think about it, you can actually write scam in there, little piece of paper
6:13
So once they hand it to you, end the pen, just write, this is a scam. I know you're scamming. No money to you
6:20
I mean, it's an easy and a nice way how to fight against them. And also, if you guys are watching, you scammers, as long as you want to scam someone in Prague
6:28
there'll be the two of us filming you while doing that. So maybe consider not doing it
6:33
We are locals from Prague, so we know every single scam here. So if you want to see the fake monks, if you want to see bad exchange places, crooked taxi drivers, head out to our channel Honest Guide
6:43

6:48

6:55
And we'll teach you a Czech word at the end. Podvodnik is a scammer. Podvodnik
