    I worked at Bath and Body Works when I was younger and we would literally have these people leaving their kiosks and coming into our store following our customers around trying to sell them other lotions and such and put down our body care items calling it garbage and how they should be buying their products, to the point we had to chase them out or call security to have them be told they cannot do that and to stay in their own kiosks, they are so flipping rude and ballsy its almost unbelievable the lengths they will go🤦‍♀️

    Police need to clamp down on this hard, and if the laws are not tough enough on it, then the laws need to be amended. Here is my problem- these people screw citizens out of thousands of dollars and nothing happens to them, but if you steal a $20. item from WalMart, you are subject to up to a year in prison.

    I just looked it up: $20,000 in USD is $91,329.71 in Romania Leu! That’s quite a hike for a funeral..for a 4 year old child! I really do NOT care for these scammers!! I truly HATE those scamming to “help” someone with cancer!
    I get A LOT of email scams, and I mess with them until I get how they want me to send them money, and I report it. I do my best to shut them down!

    I'm Romanian and I'm smart enough to know the difference. Apparently there's a ton of morons in here who think we're stupid enough to believe that Bob said "all Romanians" which never happened. We fully understand who specifically he is referring to even if at times the correct terminology was used. Some of you are so hung up on this shit that you're missing the point altogether. Great video Bob, continue to tell it like it is. Dont let these fools dictate how you do things on your own channel. If they don't like it they can move on, no ones forcing them to be here.

    • @RobertMoseley
      @RobertMoseley  6 หลายเดือนก่อน +5

      Glad you get it.
      If I generalize "Romanian", these people most often come from Romania and speak that language, but they speak many languages and come from all the surrounding countries, often Moldova, Italy, Spain, etc.
      This is why I think "Gypsy" is the correct term, this is not a "race or nationality" but a type of people doing certain things.

    They are everywhere in the North Bay, CA. Seen them in my small town. Last week hiding behind a bush "playing" a violin with music playing in the background on their blutooth speaker. AGAIN, just a few days later outside of the Target in Petaluma CA. Same thing but this guy had a saxophone. AND yes, we have a lady with all bright smiles holding fake flowers. This is a huge SCAM and glad someone is pointing this out! Really been a problem for the last year or so in my area. EDIT: The couple I saw scamming were driving a 06-08 Toyota Sienna Gold Van. They are easy to trace.

    I can't believe they didn't arrest her, really, for assaulting you! I don't think their begging/scamming is legal, either, in terms of blocking the street, etc. They're so pathetic! Good job exposing this! Who the hell stands on the side of a road asking for $ for a kid's funeral, anyway, w a photo of the kid who died? Weird. I can't *believe* how quickly they went from 'poor beggar' to aggressive and violent.
    Btw, we have those Buddhist monk scammers in NYC, too, to this day. They can't really be monks, bc Buddhist monks would never do that.

    Here’s a life hack, and it’s super cheap and effective: if you want to clean your diamond rings, earrings, wedding bands or anything chrome, you can use Colgate or Crest Toothpastes! They do the same thing as professional cleaning.
    Take a soft bristle toothbrush, put a pea sized toothpaste on it, and softly brush the diamond, wedding band and anything chrome. Rinse with warm water, and dry with a paper towel, soft cloth, or allow it to air dry.
    I’ve got a lot more life hacks, if you want them. Don’t worry, I NEVER ask for money. 🤣🤣🤣🤣
    Most of these life hacks, my mom told me, and she found out about them from her mom, or by her own self. She knew how to save as much money as possible.

Ever since Romania entered the European Union, they have been free to roam Europe and now Canada and USA due to loose border policies. DO NOT CONFUSE "ROMA GYPSIES" WITH ROMANIANS.

That has more honor than what they're doing! Comes off as just ppl who don't want to work, and instead stand there preying on your emotions to get handed cash. Awful! I think they're probably doing quite well. They look clean and well cared for. I don't think they're in a desperate situation. It's a life choice for them, it seems.
