This is Gold! Your video needs better marketing and reach. This video not only safeguards the interest of foreigners travelling to India, but also is valuable for us Indians who may not be native to a city that we might be travelling to. Have a pleasant travel!
These are 4 Golden Travel Rule coming from me a traveller. 1. Don't state from where you're from. They will know what currency you have. 2. Don't tell where you're staying (Hotel). They'll know how luxurious you are. 3. Don't expose your profession or job. They'll easily guess how rich you are. 4. Don't expose your duration for the holiday.
@Carbo Rossa erm (1) will not work. Its not just being white, if you are light skinned with decent clothes, you have money. Its very easy to tell who is "rich" and poor in poor countries like India. When my bro went to Guatemala, he dressed like an absolute fuckin bum. And he had the time of his life lol
Even though I am not from russia. I always found it very effective (in some contries) to say "njieet!" (Нет) to approaching scammers. Then I pretend to not understand english. Usualy get rid of them very fast. Might have done this a coupe of hundred times, and I have not been exposéd not to be from russia so far.
TFS only 60% ppl speak hindi. Its also the official language and not the national. So its widely used but isn’t compulsory to use it. There are 21 other languages u can use for official purposes. Also along with hindi english is also the official language. Your welcome for the new info
Gaurang Shukla - why are you embarrassed for someone else’s wrong doing. You may be from the same country but you shouldn’t be apologising for someone else.
NZDuriahheap Scamming can happen in any country. Scammers do not come with a race or skin color. It is probably their financial situation that may have lead them to choose these methods. The fact that this can happen in India does not mean it would not happen in other parts of the world.
I just left Egypt and it was the exact same thing. "Maam, come with me. Cheap price, I show you." "No thanks." "Yes, yes, come with me." "No." "Just one moment. I show you. Very good, cheap price." (walking in silence) "Maybe later, yes?" (walking in silence) "I'm not hassling you. I just want to show you one thing." (walking in silence) "I won't hassle you. Just look." (walking in silence) "Maam, just one minute." "LEAVE ME ALONE!" (looks genuinely shocked) "Why yell at me?"
if they approach me and ask me where i'm from , i always say Moldova , They get really confused about it because they know nothing about Moldova, It works every time
Just ignore them thats wht i do... not only foreigners but indians r scammed too..... They have no limits of scamming..so if someone comes to u like this,just say "i m fine by myself ,i dont need any help."
I have a friend who visited India and he was getting approached by these guys all the time. Even when he said no they wouldn't stop. So he just snapped and got really angry at them. He told me that's the best way to deal with them, just get super angry at them out of nowhere
@@potatocatstar no the dog's fine it is just sleeping many strays sleep like that not just dogs, cats also sleep like they are dead as long as they are not surrounded by flies they're good
That dog is little chubby so definitely well fed, lots of people take care of stray dogs, every morning the feed them milk and biscuits, where I live there are a few dogs that rank high on *CHONK* scale
yeah basically I'm Indian and I have to say that he is correct. I went to India in 2015 with my family. it was amazing experience and I got to meet my family members from my parents, but it is very hard to shop, unless you know the right places. my grandparents knew where to go, and where not to go so we would not end up in trouble.
Are you sure it was sleeping I’m scared I don’t want one dog to have to live like that I’m trying to change the world but I’m younge so it’s hard sand I just wanna cry
It is amazing how unfriendly they are especially once you turn them down completely! Like in sales at work I get annoyed when I go through the trouble of presenting a item or explanation but I don’t go from nice to negative in a matter of seconds.
Not only foreigners facing this kind of behavior but we Indians too. Last week I was in Chennai, South Indian part and faced the same thing, from the local Auto-rickshaw drivers. If a North Indian is visiting South India or East India he/she will face the same thing because the local frauds can easily recognize you from your language, dress etc.
Yeah south Indians get scammed in north India too. India is just a country where it isn't safe for male or female regardless of race or religion. They bring this disgusting mentality to other countries as well. Its scary how one entire nation can be hated by so many many many countries.
That's true That's happens manier times in South india I was in mysore an auto wala was charging 500 rs for 120 rs ride since i communicate in hindi But i took bus which charge me only 30 rs
@Lusty Boi sure you can every Muslim would say that or any person who understands islam but not non islamic religions but can you based on facts explain how is it better than hinduism?
We do the same thing in the tourist markets in the US. All the big coastal cities with lots of tourists like San Francisco, Las Angeles, Seattle and New York all have sidewalk shops that grab people's attention who look like tourists and lie to them about the quality and value of their products. Often these tourists who get scammed are from the midwest US!
We have similar pieces of shit in Australia where tour guides will charge you a fee to take pictures of places. I forgot what the reason they came up with was but yeah, you don't have to pay to pictures of the beach or the Sydney Harbour Bridge etc.
Im from South Africa and i visited India last year. There are alot of scammers in the big cities, but i stayed streetwise and felt much more safe in Bombay than in my own country. In South Africa they can openly rob you at knife or gunpoint. I realized the Indians wont steal or rob me. I got 'scammed' a few times out of a few dollars.. so what? All part of the adventure. Amazing place and wonderful people! The funniest scam was at Goa.. a guy approached me and started cleaning my ears with some stick.. he kept getting more and more gunk out my ears and i was shocked... and then demanded 2000 rupees for cleaning them. I gave him 200 and told him to clear off.. i later realized that he was standing behind me while digging in my ears and kept putting more gunk on his stick where i couldnt see!
Thank you sir. The first time I was in Delhi I got hit by a scammer 10 mins out of the flight and I am an Indian from Mumbai so I can imagine what foreigners like you have to endure. Great education with this video. I got scammed in bangkok once and actually fell prey as I was a foreigner there and I was too polite to leave. Ended up buying ruby stones for $1000 which I knew was overpriced but I was trapped. Its something one has to accept.
I found they do this in Thailand as well. Usually they hang around the general area where they get commission from several different businesses, and once they wrangle information out of you, like where you're going, what you're doing, shopping, eating, travelling, and then bring you to "their" place. Sometimes they'll even have a tuk-tuk driver waiting nearby to take you to a specific tour operator or shop. Or they might even offer you a ride on their scooter. They have several scams on some of the less reputable long bus journeys too. They purposely swap you between several buses, and make everybody wait a few hours at a cafe out in the middle of nowhere to "swap buses". Almost forcing you to buy expensive sandwiches, water, coffee at their cafe out of sheer boredom. The cafe is literally a fridge, a few seats, out in the middle of the jungle! This can happen several times on one journey, sometimes the next bus is actually there already, but they still make everybody wait. Like as if they're waiting for the cafe at the next destination to open, or to be restocked. Then they tell you that you are getting dropped off out in the middle of nowhere at the end of the journey, instead of in the city center, and that you can get their minibus to your hotel. They try REALLY hard to get people to buy a ticket for the minibus before they get off the main bus. Everybody is generally tired, and restless after the 12 hour journey that they don't want to be stuck out in the middle of nowhere and so usually end up paying the extra €6 or so for the minibus. I was one of the only people who didn't take up their offer of the minibus, and they weren't happy about it. But I did finally cave when we got to the destination. We were dropped off out in the middle of nowhere. Pure scam. It's blatantly obvious that these guys are trying to squeeze as much money as possible out of everyone on the bus.
I'm proud Indiana 🇮🇳 But I would like to apologise to every foreigner scammed by these (not cheap but less educated & helpless) people 🙏।। I hope for safe and enjoying travel for everyone in India Coz "अतिथि देवो भव:" is our culture. Thanks karl for making it possible for foreigners 👍 Ram Ram Ji...
@@rajneeshaaron-trivandrum4154 This happens everywhere in the World bro. What do you think, what Carl is doing whith his book? Selling it for 10 USD eatch. If you do not want to be scamed, go there, where there no human is.
The best way to explore India and do shopping and all stuff you can do one best thing just make some Indian genuine friends they can help anyone with the best they can
It shows that most mainland people doing business in India are not honest and trust worthy people..! It's better to avoid places where everyone tries to take advantage of someone who look different. I've encountered almost the same at Bangaluru, shivaji Nagar. It's a shameful and disgusting behavior.
Good point! I have a friend in Chennai....it's so much more different when you travel with a local. I hated India when I was travelling by myself....but loved it when I had a local whom I could trust.
I guess only when you are an outsider in India or at least look like one, one can understand the pain that they go through. Glad that Karl understands Hindi - thats a big blessing so he wont be taken for a ride.
Hii I am from mumbai india... you done very good . our government have take strike action against people like disturbed or miss guide to tourist . watched this its really really sad... and being a indian i am giving you tip.. when you roaming in india don't ask to any tuk tuk driver or any shop keeper for any thing first try to google.. secondly ask directions regular people like families or some local person who is around you shopping ... AND one thing more that sardarji said ( 2:11) it to shop keeper in hindi that give him tea or coffee & breakfast first otherwise he will go... so be alert people like this also try to read there faces while talking you will judge they r right or wrong.... good job you ..... Regards SIDDHARTH KHANNA INDIA
If only this video was released a few month ago before, I would have known how to avoid it a bit (I didn't pay anything, just I lose 5 or 6 hours when I arrived in Delhi because scammers were trying to stop me to go into a cab or tuk-tuk, and bringing me again and again to different tourism office. For the full story, I landed at 6AM or something. I jumped into a cab that was supposed to bring me to my hotel. When we entered in Delhi, he simulated an engine failure and ask a tuk-tuk driver to bring me to my hotel After 2 or 3 minutes, we passed by a street where people (scammers I guess) stopped us and said that the neighbourhood was closed for tourist by the police because of some murders and I had to go to the tourism office to ask for help. So my Tuktuk driver brings me to one, that I thought was weird. Inside, I explained the situation and the guy proposed me to call my hotel but hide the phone when he was composing the number then give the phone where a guy told me "yeah the hotel is closed because of a situation". Then the man for the tourism office tells me that anyway, it was very hard to stay in Delhi for the next days because of a giant strike and that I just should leave for another city so he proposed me to buy some plane or train tickets and to book an accommodation. I told him that I wanted to think and to take a smoke, so I went outside with my big bag pack and just left because the situation felt weird to me. The TukTuk driver that brought me there began to follow me and to tell me to return to the shop, I said no and that I wanted to try to reach my hotel anyway to see what they will tell me but it didn't discourage him, he continues to follow me and when I was trying to ask another tuk-tuk driver he (I am supposing) was saying to them to not take me in their vehicle. After maybe 1 hour, he was still following me so I went into a Starbucks. I stayed one hour trying to figure out how to go to my hotel walking. When I left Starbucks, the guy was gone so I began to walk but with my bags almost immediately people knew that I was a tourist and around this place people wouldn't take me to my hotel but keep proposing to me to go to the tourism office. A guy (the first of maybe 5 or 6) offered his assistance and to show me the direction of my hotel, but after 10 minutes of walking, he told me that finally, he thought that it was better to go to the "real" tourism office to ask for help. (He brought me in the one that we can see in the video at 2:10). I was tired as fuck, so I thought maybe this one will try to help me and at least I will be able to rest for a while. I explained to the guy my situation and he called me hotel but this time, he told me that my hotel was open and that the other guy lied to me and that they can send someone to pick me up in 30 minutes. So I had some trust in him because of that (moderately but still). For the next 30 minutes, he began to show me hotels and trains and planes etc for prices that I thought were "suspicious", like €2000 for 2 weeks of train. As I didn't sleep for almost 24h, I just told him, yeah but not, I want to sleep on it and maybe later. After 30 minutes the "hotel" called again and told me that finally, they can be there in 1H, so he continued to sell me that stuff but I still declined politely each time. After another 30 minutes, the "hotel" called again to say one more hour. So I thought that "ok they are definitively trying to steal me" so I left. I went back the circular "place" where I saw earlier a lot of TukTuk. On my way I was approached by 5 or 6 men that wanted to "help" me, at this point, I was pretty mad, so my only reply was "fuck off". I looked for a ride, but no one wanted to pick me, so I finally decided to overpay a TukTuk to just bring me to my hotel and at two or three times the normal rate one did. I arrived at my hotel, everything was fine, I was able to check in etc. In other cities, I didn't have so much trouble, but New Delhi was a nightmare when they can see that you just arrived.
Lol. If you are coming from a developed country like UK, Germany, Canada where you are a polite, law abiding citizen because that is the norm then you're going to have serious problems visiting a country like India. You have to leave that mentality at the door. It will sound harsh, but you quite literally have to view and treat them as second class citizens, think of them as dogs. They only think of you as a fat cash cow and want to take advantage of your polite nature. Treat them like shit, if a tuk tuk says he won't take you, get in his face, talk fast aggressive English, wave your phone and make sure he hears the word "police". At this point he will quite literally carry you there on his back. This is the nature of people in developed countries, you either adapt or get taken advantage of.
Seems like a lot of these guys never heard the phrase "don't talk to strangers." Because even as a tourist, I don't see myself going to some place with a stranger off the street - especially some shifty-looking dude who was just standing on the corner.
it's india, that doesn't really apply there, for stuff like that at least... there's vendors pretty much everywhere trying to earn an honest living but that unfortunately means scammers too...
Quick tip : If you ever really want to go India, never go up north without someone to help you. It is better to go to south India and enjoy the hill stations and beautiful places. They are used to seeing foreigners and treat them pretty well. Even though some little "stores" may rip you off.

I'm not sure 'catfish' / 'catfishing' is the right word here. Perhaps it means different things in different parts of the world? I don't see any of them wanting to be in a relationship with you :P
Earthling1984 catfishing is often just a term for being something you aren't, in this case the video producer is pretending to be a new tourist to india, but in reality he knows ver much about the scams & how the scammers are, if that makes sense:-)
"Catfishing" means "pretending to be someone you're not" Often it's a scammer pretending to be an attractive woman or man over text messages, building rapport and a relationship, and then trying to get money out of you. In this case, Karl is pretending to be a naive tourist so he can showcase how these scams work, when in reality he knows exactly what they're doing.
Yes, I didn't need any explanation. I fully understand what was happening. Just saying, in the USA, 'catfishing' often implies an ugly person online trying to fool and be in a relationship with someone else. Sometimes money can be involved, but, usually the scam is just for the emotional enjoyment the catfish gets by lying.
I'm just saying that while that's a common connotation, I think it's fine to use the word here to describe pretending to be a sucker, just like online "catfishes" pretend to be someone they're not.
i am from india (Delhi) and very well understand true nature of these scoundrels, their true purpose is ripping people no matter how small they achieve from them. A word of advice- if you're new and finding difficulties instead of you're required destination go get a help from local authorities (police station, cop, traffic police, PCR's) they'll let you know the authentic and precise whereabouts.
I AM THAT yes, very true some are good some are bad but most of them help strangers, last resort would the government portals and helpline numbers mentioned just by googling.
@@alexanderbarnes460it's not like that, there are many stray animals in every street, so it is very difficult to take care of all of them. Plz understand this problem. It's not we do not care about animals even 1%. There are communities like PETA, many people(like who works in shops) offers food to these animals everyday.
I was victim of a chained scam in new delhi railway station. I wanted to buy a cheap train ticket to Agra. I went to the counter and before I could speak to the lady behind the glass, a men told me that the train I wanted to get is only for tomorrow, that it takes more than 6 hours and that I should go to the tourist information office to buy an express ticket. He said the tourist office was in another place and that zi should get a tuc-tuc. To gain my trust he told me that I should only accept a tuc-tuc that costs no more than 30 rupies. The tuc-tuc brought me to exactly the same agency I saw in this video. As the guy in the video I thought, this is a small street for such an important office no? It started ti smell bad. The guy in the agency had a first question: where are you from? In this way they know how much money you have and how easy is to cheat you. Then they kept asking questions without being really professional: where do you go? What are your plans? My advice wpuld be never answer precise answers. After the round of questions, he checked in the internet ( not any specific software) for the train connection and he said that cheap class was finished that I should buy first class for 1600 rupies. I said I was not interested, that I wanted to travel in the cheap class and when they felt I was not a profitable victim they let me go. When I left the agency, a tuc-tuc driver came and said to me that this was not an official agency, that he would bring me to the real one. Not knowing what to do, I accepted and again he brought me to an agency. In the second agency it was the same story. I left and a third tuc-tuc driver told me the same story. It is a chain of scams driven by a mafia which I believe is dangerous. So be careful! I scaped the situation because I of course did not accept the tuc-tuc driver to bring me to a third place, I told him I wanted to go to New Delhi railway. He tried to persued me going somewhere else so I jumped out the tuc-tuc, walked to a main road and asked some middle-class looking indian people for help. They arranged me in the street a tuc-tuc to go to New Delhi railway. Once there, when I was attemptimg to access the building, a men told me I couldn't do so without a ticket. He showed me some kind of fake card and showed me where shoulsmd I go. After being cheated twice I wasn't trusting on him anymore. Luckily I saw some tourist who where walking towards the station and they told me this was another scam, that no one should stop me from accessing the railway station. Once there, I had to fight quite a lot to get a cheap ticket. I believe they dont want the tourist to travel in the cheapest unreserved seats because they are normally very full, because they think you can afford a higher cost transportation or because they may think this is not the way to travel for tourists. It was altogether a nightmare.
Ya the situation is bad, but if you come prepared you can avoid these situations, I mean it happens to every foreign guy in every foreign country, there might be someone somewhere who is trying to take advantage. Just have to be careful in these situations. And yeah there is no country in the world as diverse, vibrant and colourful as India is and the best time to visit is in March during Holi festival or in October or November during Dasshera or Diwali.
India is not your go to destination if you’re looking for a clean, relaxing and enjoyable vacation. It’s scammer central. Provides insight into the Indian culture.
Dude. You're impressive. I must say even as an Indian, I've definitely fallen for some of these scams in my first time in Delhi but it's learning experience and I am glad you still are/enjoying your trip to India!
Don't be so quick to judge! I visited about 20 countries during an extensive tour and my favorite? India: it has it all! Ok so you might need to keep your wits about you from time to time (every country has its 'undesirables'), but it's extremely beautiful, very rich in culture and incredibly diverse, that it's well worth the effort. You'll have superb memories and very interesting photos!
I cant ignore your channel Carl, I must Subscribe. it's full of informational. Thanks for the showing these Scams, they do not fool only foreigner they do fool us as well. Thanks Again.
Kudos to the great work you are doing by exposing these scammers. We Indians too are scammed many times and a foreigner is like a jackpot to them. I hope your videos reach all the foreigners travelling to india. I appreciate your hard work and apologise for the inconvenience caused by these con-men.
This happens with the loacls too. This is India bro! But yeah, not everyone you met as shown in the video was a scammer! I can literally say the Punjabi guy you met at 0:28 was not a scammer.
We have been here so long and so many times, we get free auto rides sometimes by stopping in these shops and pretending to look around. Scamming the scammers. To be fair, some of these shops have handcrafted, one of a kind jewellery, which, if I had the money, I would have bought. It's still way cheaper than buying the same after it's been exported. Unfortunately, we have done every one of these shops in Connaught Place and Paharganj and no more free auto rides for us. People here need to understand that Paharganj and Connaught place are not the real India. They are well known for cheating everyone, even Indians. This does not reflect the majority of the people in India. Certain places are well known for blatantly cheating, especially white skinned people. So it's good to be aware of how not to get scammed. But it would be a shame for people to misjudge this extraordinary, generous, and diverse country. I've seen a jumper in Australia selling for $30 for sale in another shop for $90. Cheaters are everywhere.
I kinda wanna see a vid where they try to talk to you in english, but you pretend you don't know that language either, and you just hit em with some random foreign words.
If you are a tourist and have doubts on something, then try to find a person from working class in age range of 50 - 80. They are mostly reaponsible citizens and have a better sense of judgement. They will definitely help you.

TFS only 60% ppl speak hindi. Its also the official language and not the national. So its widely used but isn’t compulsory to use it. There are 21 other languages u can use for official purposes. Also along with hindi english is also the official language. Your welcome for the new info
I'm from South and I know very basic Hindi. There is nothing wrong in not knowing Hindi.
Man I am so embarrassed...So sorry man ......it's so frustrating
Asian culture has a saying: "If you can cheat, do."
Gaurang Shukla I agree man that's all we can say.
Gaurang Shukla - why are you embarrassed for someone else’s wrong doing. You may be from the same country but you shouldn’t be apologising for someone else.
NZDuriahheap - loads of countries have the issue in markets etc. If they can, they will
NZDuriahheap Scamming can happen in any country. Scammers do not come with a race or skin color. It is probably their financial situation that may have lead them to choose these methods. The fact that this can happen in India does not mean it would not happen in other parts of the world.

Not only foreigners facing this kind of behavior but we Indians too. Last week I was in Chennai, South Indian part and faced the same thing, from the local Auto-rickshaw drivers. If a North Indian is visiting South India or East India he/she will face the same thing because the local frauds can easily recognize you from your language, dress etc.
Yeah south Indians get scammed in north India too. India is just a country where it isn't safe for male or female regardless of race or religion. They bring this disgusting mentality to other countries as well. Its scary how one entire nation can be hated by so many many many countries.

Abhishek Mahalwal true that brother I'm from northeastern part of India and I have experienced many a times
We do the same thing in the tourist markets in the US. All the big coastal cities with lots of tourists like San Francisco, Las Angeles, Seattle and New York all have sidewalk shops that grab people's attention who look like tourists and lie to them about the quality and value of their products. Often these tourists who get scammed are from the midwest US!
We have similar pieces of shit in Australia where tour guides will charge you a fee to take pictures of places. I forgot what the reason they came up with was but yeah, you don't have to pay to pictures of the beach or the Sydney Harbour Bridge etc.
Exactly buddy ! !
These scammers exists in every part of the world mostly in big cities..
The best way to avoid scammers in India is to not go to India
Being an India, it's shameful for me.... I am feeling sorry for that
Unless you are a scammer, there's nothing to feel shameful about. Every country has its criminals.

It's even useful for Indians too traveling to other states or cities !!
Thank You Karl..... You really Rock!!
xDDDD thats why he's name is Karl Rock

Im from South Africa and i visited India last year. There are alot of scammers in the big cities, but i stayed streetwise and felt much more safe in Bombay than in my own country. In South Africa they can openly rob you at knife or gunpoint. I realized the Indians wont steal or rob me.
I got 'scammed' a few times out of a few dollars.. so what? All part of the adventure. Amazing place and wonderful people!
The funniest scam was at Goa.. a guy approached me and started cleaning my ears with some stick.. he kept getting more and more gunk out my ears and i was shocked... and then demanded 2000 rupees for cleaning them. I gave him 200 and told him to clear off.. i later realized that he was standing behind me while digging in my ears and kept putting more gunk on his stick where i couldnt see!
I know SA has problems but India is really kak. Read up on their crime a little bit, not just scams
I bet he'd be there all day picking wax out of your ears if they thought you would be dumb enough to pay 2000 rupees.

Thank you sir. The first time I was in Delhi I got hit by a scammer 10 mins out of the flight and I am an Indian from Mumbai so I can imagine what foreigners like you have to endure. Great education with this video. I got scammed in bangkok once and actually fell prey as I was a foreigner there and I was too polite to leave. Ended up buying ruby stones for $1000 which I knew was overpriced but I was trapped. Its something one has to accept.
I love how he puts the word “lie” in front of their mouths as if they were breathing out lies 😭😂
They where :D
I found they do this in Thailand as well. Usually they hang around the general area where they get commission from several different businesses, and once they wrangle information out of you, like where you're going, what you're doing, shopping, eating, travelling, and then bring you to "their" place. Sometimes they'll even have a tuk-tuk driver waiting nearby to take you to a specific tour operator or shop. Or they might even offer you a ride on their scooter.
They have several scams on some of the less reputable long bus journeys too. They purposely swap you between several buses, and make everybody wait a few hours at a cafe out in the middle of nowhere to "swap buses". Almost forcing you to buy expensive sandwiches, water, coffee at their cafe out of sheer boredom. The cafe is literally a fridge, a few seats, out in the middle of the jungle!
This can happen several times on one journey, sometimes the next bus is actually there already, but they still make everybody wait. Like as if they're waiting for the cafe at the next destination to open, or to be restocked.
Then they tell you that you are getting dropped off out in the middle of nowhere at the end of the journey, instead of in the city center, and that you can get their minibus to your hotel. They try REALLY hard to get people to buy a ticket for the minibus before they get off the main bus.
Everybody is generally tired, and restless after the 12 hour journey that they don't want to be stuck out in the middle of nowhere and so usually end up paying the extra €6 or so for the minibus.
I was one of the only people who didn't take up their offer of the minibus, and they weren't happy about it. But I did finally cave when we got to the destination. We were dropped off out in the middle of nowhere. Pure scam.
It's blatantly obvious that these guys are trying to squeeze as much money as possible out of everyone on the bus.
I'm proud Indiana 🇮🇳 But I would like to apologise to every foreigner scammed by these (not cheap but less educated & helpless) people 🙏।।

It shows that most mainland people doing business in India are not honest and trust worthy people..! It's better to avoid places where everyone tries to take advantage of someone who look different.

Hii I am from mumbai india... you done very good . our government have take strike action against people like disturbed or miss guide to tourist . watched this its really really sad... and being a indian i am giving you tip.. when you roaming in india don't ask to any tuk tuk driver or any shop keeper for any thing first try to google.. secondly ask directions regular people like families or some local person who is around you shopping ...
AND one thing more that sardarji said ( 2:11) it to shop keeper in hindi that give him tea or coffee & breakfast first otherwise he will go... so be alert people like this also try to read there faces while talking you will judge they r right or wrong.... good job you .....

If only this video was released a few month ago before, I would have known how to avoid it a bit (I didn't pay anything, just I lose 5 or 6 hours when I arrived in Delhi because scammers were trying to stop me to go into a cab or tuk-tuk, and bringing me again and again to different tourism office.
For the full story, I landed at 6AM or something. I jumped into a cab that was supposed to bring me to my hotel. When we entered in Delhi, he simulated an engine failure and ask a tuk-tuk driver to bring me to my hotel After 2 or 3 minutes, we passed by a street where people (scammers I guess) stopped us and said that the neighbourhood was closed for tourist by the police because of some murders and I had to go to the tourism office to ask for help. So my Tuktuk driver brings me to one, that I thought was weird. Inside, I explained the situation and the guy proposed me to call my hotel but hide the phone when he was composing the number then give the phone where a guy told me "yeah the hotel is closed because of a situation". Then the man for the tourism office tells me that anyway, it was very hard to stay in Delhi for the next days because of a giant strike and that I just should leave for another city so he proposed me to buy some plane or train tickets and to book an accommodation.
I told him that I wanted to think and to take a smoke, so I went outside with my big bag pack and just left because the situation felt weird to me.
The TukTuk driver that brought me there began to follow me and to tell me to return to the shop, I said no and that I wanted to try to reach my hotel anyway to see what they will tell me but it didn't discourage him, he continues to follow me and when I was trying to ask another tuk-tuk driver he (I am supposing) was saying to them to not take me in their vehicle.
After maybe 1 hour, he was still following me so I went into a Starbucks. I stayed one hour trying to figure out how to go to my hotel walking.
When I left Starbucks, the guy was gone so I began to walk but with my bags almost immediately people knew that I was a tourist and around this place people wouldn't take me to my hotel but keep proposing to me to go to the tourism office.
A guy (the first of maybe 5 or 6) offered his assistance and to show me the direction of my hotel, but after 10 minutes of walking, he told me that finally, he thought that it was better to go to the "real" tourism office to ask for help. (He brought me in the one that we can see in the video at 2:10). I was tired as fuck, so I thought maybe this one will try to help me and at least I will be able to rest for a while. I explained to the guy my situation and he called me hotel but this time, he told me that my hotel was open and that the other guy lied to me and that they can send someone to pick me up in 30 minutes. So I had some trust in him because of that (moderately but still).
For the next 30 minutes, he began to show me hotels and trains and planes etc for prices that I thought were "suspicious", like €2000 for 2 weeks of train. As I didn't sleep for almost 24h, I just told him, yeah but not, I want to sleep on it and maybe later. After 30 minutes the "hotel" called again and told me that finally, they can be there in 1H, so he continued to sell me that stuff but I still declined politely each time. After another 30 minutes, the "hotel" called again to say one more hour. So I thought that "ok they are definitively trying to steal me" so I left. I went back the circular "place" where I saw earlier a lot of TukTuk. On my way I was approached by 5 or 6 men that wanted to "help" me, at this point, I was pretty mad, so my only reply was "fuck off".
I looked for a ride, but no one wanted to pick me, so I finally decided to overpay a TukTuk to just bring me to my hotel and at two or three times the normal rate one did.
I arrived at my hotel, everything was fine, I was able to check in etc.
In other cities, I didn't have so much trouble, but New Delhi was a nightmare when they can see that you just arrived.
Wow this is absolutely horrible
Not horrible xd but it was a pain in the a..
Holy shit, just reading this story made me really anxious lmao I’d be telling everyone to stfu and let me go to my hotel
You should have called 100
Police is too responsive here in new delhi
Lol. If you are coming from a developed country like UK, Germany, Canada where you are a polite, law abiding citizen because that is the norm then you're going to have serious problems visiting a country like India. You have to leave that mentality at the door. It will sound harsh, but you quite literally have to view and treat them as second class citizens, think of them as dogs. They only think of you as a fat cash cow and want to take advantage of your polite nature. Treat them like shit, if a tuk tuk says he won't take you, get in his face, talk fast aggressive English, wave your phone and make sure he hears the word "police". At this point he will quite literally carry you there on his back. This is the nature of people in developed countries, you either adapt or get taken advantage of.

Seems like a lot of these guys never heard the phrase "don't talk to strangers."

Quick tip : If you ever really want to go India, never go up north without someone to help you. It is better to go to south India and enjoy the hill stations and beautiful places. They are used to seeing foreigners and treat them pretty well. Even though some little "stores" may rip you off.

I'm not sure 'catfish' / 'catfishing' is the right word here. Perhaps it means different things in different parts of the world? I don't see any of them wanting to be in a relationship with you :P
Earthling1984 catfishing is often just a term for being something you aren't, in this case the video producer is pretending to be a new tourist to india, but in reality he knows ver much about the scams & how the scammers are, if that makes sense:-)
"Catfishing" means "pretending to be someone you're not"
Often it's a scammer pretending to be an attractive woman or man over text messages, building rapport and a relationship, and then trying to get money out of you. In this case, Karl is pretending to be a naive tourist so he can showcase how these scams work, when in reality he knows exactly what they're doing.
Yes, I didn't need any explanation. I fully understand what was happening. Just saying, in the USA, 'catfishing' often implies an ugly person online trying to fool and be in a relationship with someone else. Sometimes money can be involved, but, usually the scam is just for the emotional enjoyment the catfish gets by lying.
I'm just saying that while that's a common connotation, I think it's fine to use the word here to describe pretending to be a sucker, just like online "catfishes" pretend to be someone they're not.

Thanks for this. I was considering a trip to India but now I’m totally cured. I absolutely detest pushy sales people and scammers.
I was victim of a chained scam in new delhi railway station. I wanted to buy a cheap train ticket to Agra. I went to the counter and before I could speak to the lady behind the glass, a men told me that the train I wanted to get is only for tomorrow, that it takes more than 6 hours and that I should go to the tourist information office to buy an express ticket. He said the tourist office was in another place and that zi should get a tuc-tuc. To gain my trust he told me that I should only accept a tuc-tuc that costs no more than 30 rupies. The tuc-tuc brought me to exactly the same agency I saw in this video. As the guy in the video I thought, this is a small street for such an important office no? It started ti smell bad. The guy in the agency had a first question: where are you from? In this way they know how much money you have and how easy is to cheat you. Then they kept asking questions without being really professional: where do you go? What are your plans? My advice wpuld be never answer precise answers. After the round of questions, he checked in the internet ( not any specific software) for the train connection and he said that cheap class was finished that I should buy first class for 1600 rupies. I said I was not interested, that I wanted to travel in the cheap class and when they felt I was not a profitable victim they let me go. When I left the agency, a tuc-tuc driver came and said to me that this was not an official agency, that he would bring me to the real one. Not knowing what to do, I accepted and again he brought me to an agency. In the second agency it was the same story. I left and a third tuc-tuc driver told me the same story. It is a chain of scams driven by a mafia which I believe is dangerous. So be careful! I scaped the situation because I of course did not accept the tuc-tuc driver to bring me to a third place, I told him I wanted to go to New Delhi railway. He tried to persued me going somewhere else so I jumped out the tuc-tuc, walked to a main road and asked some middle-class looking indian people for help. They arranged me in the street a tuc-tuc to go to New Delhi railway. Once there, when I was attemptimg to access the building, a men told me I couldn't do so without a ticket. He showed me some kind of fake card and showed me where shoulsmd I go. After being cheated twice I wasn't trusting on him anymore. Luckily I saw some tourist who where walking towards the station and they told me this was another scam, that no one should stop me from accessing the railway station. Once there, I had to fight quite a lot to get a cheap ticket. I believe they dont want the tourist to travel in the cheapest unreserved seats because they are normally very full, because they think you can afford a higher cost transportation or because they may think this is not the way to travel for tourists. It was altogether a nightmare.

r0ck yeah and this video just gave me enough reasons to not to visit india.
Don't be so quick to judge! I visited about 20 countries during an extensive tour and my favorite? India: it has it all! Ok so you might need to keep your wits about you from time to time (every country has its 'undesirables'), but it's extremely beautiful, very rich in culture and incredibly diverse, that it's well worth the effort. You'll have superb memories and very interesting photos!
DrummingSpain nah ill pass
Still a safe place to visit, nothing to afraid, just do some homework. They might insist you but no one force you.
I love how sad the scammer looks when he failed to get you
Me too. That's all part of their routine to try and guilt trip you.
I cant ignore your channel Carl, I must Subscribe. it's full of informational. Thanks for the showing these Scams, they do not fool only foreigner they do fool us as well. Thanks Again.

Thanks Dave

I just order over the phone when they call me. It's safe right?
Karl Rock I don’t know if your playing or not but no it’s not safe
Thank you, Pewdiepie for teaching us how to avoid scammers
Best way to avoid it: don't go to India
I was saying the same thing
@Thando Dlamini :( dont take that people (most of them are forced to do it) and u can come to south were less scammers are in and there's lot to see
@Thando Dlamini South India is safe especially Kerala.
Yea... Dont wanna go there! 😂
@@nockonocko4392 no.1 place for isis recruiting in india.
He said to you this market is cheap you should have said no I am looking for expensive one 😂
Kudos to the great work you are doing by exposing these scammers. We Indians too are scammed many times and a foreigner is like a jackpot to them. I hope your videos reach all the foreigners travelling to india. I appreciate your hard work and apologise for the inconvenience caused by these con-men.
5:35 how the fuck does he know what shops charge overseas? 🤣🤣🤣

@@chloefrancis877 something to the effect of, "fuck off, fool."
@@chloefrancis877 Now you go, pussy would be the direct translation
You look nothing like sultan😂😂 no offence
Haha, yeah! The scammers will tell you anything.
that is probably a complement to him
And you are sure fucking a scammer right now
Cool that he doesn't look like him. Pathetic personality Salman is
Patel arfat look and personality are two different things..you seem to be too confused
5:23 LOLLL hugo boss suits are not $3000-4000 wtf. They're like around $1300 and less.
Not really a relaxing holiday, when constantly being hassled
You don't go to India for a "relaxing holiday"... that's what tropical countries and resorts are for.

Karl Rock being himself.
*pewdiepie has left the chatroom*
Karl Rock is better
@@zampieritto acha jee
This happens with the loacls too. This is India bro!
But yeah, not everyone you met as shown in the video was a scammer! I can literally say the Punjabi guy you met at 0:28 was not a scammer.
He was a scammer dude
We have been here so long and so many times, we get free auto rides sometimes by stopping in these shops and pretending to look around. Scamming the scammers. To be fair, some of these shops have handcrafted, one of a kind jewellery, which, if I had the money, I would have bought. It's still way cheaper than buying the same after it's been exported.
Unfortunately, we have done every one of these shops in Connaught Place and Paharganj and no more free auto rides for us.
People here need to understand that Paharganj and Connaught place are not the real India. They are well known for cheating everyone, even Indians. This does not reflect the majority of the people in India. Certain places are well known for blatantly cheating, especially white skinned people. So it's good to be aware of how not to get scammed. But it would be a shame for people to misjudge this extraordinary, generous, and diverse country.
I've seen a jumper in Australia selling for $30 for sale in another shop for $90. Cheaters are everywhere.
Finally ,a good sensible answer👏👏
Most countries have their own version of a tourist trap. Deliberately going to such a locale then crying foul is just plain silly.
@@aug2890 far better than you mullas
I kinda wanna see a vid where they try to talk to you in english, but you pretend you don't know that language either, and you just hit em with some random foreign words.
Hóla, Cómo estás?
Lol
"RESTAURANT NOT OPEN THIS TIME"
*Shows the time *
"ITS LUCH TIME, THIS TIME NO RESTAURANT OPEN"
If you are a tourist and have doubts on something, then try to find a person from working class in age range of 50 - 80. They are mostly reaponsible citizens and have a better sense of judgement. They will definitely help you.
"this time there are no restaurant"
but it's the middle of the day hahaha
India : Scamming foreigners
Pakistan: Giving foreigners things for free
No hard feelings India 😂
Any proof 🤣🤣🤣
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
