Seen it nearly 30 years ago in Tenerife or Majorca, seen how my brother who was a gambler losing the equivalent of a hunner quid in the space of about 5 minutes,then when he started getting angry some clown with long pure curly jet black hair and a yellow vest started aw the threatening crap,fold the box and move on a bit further along, and it's not fair ground money they're making, they're making a fortune, but you would think with internet, social media etc that folk would know about this scam, you can even Google it and see how it's done, but hopefully you're video warns a few folk.
Members of this gang are wanted for Homicide in Germany
Romainian. They have their little bags. Same in Paris, Rome, Copenhagen, London, Stockholm...
I went Benidorm when my kids were 3 and 4 they’re now 53/52 . My god how it’s changed . It looks like everything I’d like to avoid .
I’m 58 and even when I was 18 and just into “travelling”, Benidorm was high on my list of places that I most certainly did NOT want to go, probably on a par with Torremolinos!😂
Totally agree with you, why anybody would pay good money to be amongst all of that is beyond me! 😏
Does remind me of Torquay back in the 80's, but with older english folk! 😆
Me too....😅
Was nice 40 years ago 😁
THE CROWD reason I’ve never fancied Benidorm for holiday
I got my own scam attempt (I think) two weeks ago in Tenerife. Arrived, that evening walking the front at the Parque Santiago III and this young woman, heavily preggers comes up to me (I am with my wife and two teenage sons) and states that the baby is mine and that I should be ashamed and pay her 200 euros for what I did and that my woman will punish me for this. My wife laughed in her face and told her where to go...I was last on Tenerife two years ago and I have been 'seedless' for two decades!
Definitely a grudge baby as somebody had it in for you 😅😅😅😅
If you been 'seedless' for two decades..youd wanna check about ur teenage sons 😅
@@aileenbyrne8941😂
Seedless 😂
Omg never 😅
I’ve been going to benidorm for years and these fraudsters have been there forever I can’t understand how people still fall for this plus you can spot these people a mile off
The stupidity of people has no limits .The 3 card trick was going on in the streets of London when i first visited back in 1970 .
Fair play for standing your ground there mate, you saved some people getting ripped off
Fair play to you Kevin. Nice to see you warning people about scams
Watch out for the scratch cards scammers.
Everyone is a ‘winner’ , but every ‘winner’ ends up a LOSER
Well done Kevin for exposing them. They didn't hang around for long once they knew you were filming. Good job 👍
Thanks 👍
Hi Kevin yes u stopped them makes me annoyed scaming n pick pocket s, I'm weary for September but wits about us . Thank u it shame police don't stop them .
It amazes me how folk are still conned by this
Yip amazing
Because there are multiple suckers born every day since the beginning of time.
A bit off topic but, I remember visiting my dad in Tenerife for the first time when I was only 16, there would always be some random guy on a street corner trying to sell me "something". In fact one evening in the street, a guy tried asking me for "papers" and had this strange brown solid substance in his hand, possibly cannabis. Within seconds the police turned up just like that, they asked to see our IDs. I wasn't in trouble because my dad was nearby, I was waiting for him to return to the car after an evening in the pubs. The other guy, they bagged him. 😧
Good one Kevin, stay safe there are a few in the gang. Seen a women lose €100 in minutes whose husband wasn't best pleased with her. Pea men are not breaking Spanish law, it's the ones waging the money. The scam should be made illegal. Nice blog mate 👍
That happened to me in Berlin. The people who carried it out were so normal and looked respectable! I completely fell for it and lost 100 euros! Ps Benidorm looked great and now I am thinking of holidaying there.
I've been to Benidorm 3 times and it doesn't do anything for me it's like going to Blackpool on a sunny day but that goes for some of Europe countries as well. Give an Asian country any day of the week with its heritage culture and traditions like Thailand they are the most friendliest honest people in the world.
Hope to visit one day
I agree the places looks like a nightmare ,not a relaxing holiday .I also much prefer Thailand and have lived there ,but now just return on holidays .
To be fair it can be a lovely holiday. If you won't the Blackpool life it's their if you won't the old town it's lovely it comes down to personal choice. We have stayed in a first class hotel and really enjoyed it.
There's more scam's in thailand than anywhere elase.
I enjoyed Glasgow more and that's a dump.
Great for raising awareness, as there's always people who don't know it's a scam. Also if you think you'll just watch the pickpockets will be taking advantage while you are distracted.
Imagine going on holiday to sit around and watch tv.
i dont lol but imagine caring about what other people do ? Thanks for watching.
Thank you for showing and sharing this evil dangerous scammers.👍👍
Brilliant Kev 🤩 you little trooper for not backing off, when he clearly wanted you too 🥰 x
Thank you Scotty for bringin this to our attention. Its the after shock when you go to buy or pay for summat and realise your wallets short of a few bob.😊
I know that feeling, quite a few years back in Tenerife when I was only about 19 I was stood around watching one of these take place, I wasn't even playing and when we went to the next bar I went to get some money and a £100 was gone from my pocket.
It wasn't until the next night or so that we saw them again so we stood back and watched at a distance and you could see there was a few of them all in on it.
I can't believe that they can still get away with it all these years later, but to be honest corruption is everywhere, money makes the world go round!
Thanks for pointing out those scam artists,.
england in the sun (sun cancer capitol ) im still being treated 2yrs on used to love this place take care guys
Enjoyed the video well done for standing your ground to these thieves. Hopefully your video will make more people aware of this kind of scam 👍🏻
Hope so!
You’re legend Kevin, love your videos, so entertaining and interesting. And you’re also helping people avoid getting scammed. What a top man you are. 👍
I appreciate that
Good that you highlight those scammers Kevin…we saw them when we were there….we would never take part and it’s sad that people are taken in by them 😮
Looks like an absolute nightmare
Oh god the worst kind of holiday!
Great holiday check out my other videos in benidorm.
Ghastly, rather do something more active.
Heading out to Mogan later this year, was aware of the Scammera shops but not the pea men so thank you very much
Probably my favourite video of yours, well done mate for not backing down. Also, love Dans parents recognising you and giving a shout out! I dream of seeing you wizzing past me on holiday when I’m well and truly pissed and end up saying something I regret!
Lol thanks
Fair play in breaking that up, always have to have eyes in the back of your head sometimes. Ignore anything like this.
Another fantastic video! Loving them😊😊
Thanks again!
Great your raising awareness about theses scams
Well done Kevin. Too many people worried about warning people
Well done Kevin, this needs to stop 👍🇬🇧
My family just inherited a property in Benidorm , the place is a over populated , built up commercial dive , needless to say we sold the property, all subjective of course.
Too many people around every corner for me to enjoy a holiday there at this time of year !!
A common scam in Tenerife is where you are approached and asked if you have change for a two Euro coin, ie two single 1 euro coins, the scam is the coin they want to part ex with you is a South African coin that looks very much like a 2Euro coin but it is practically worthless, if approached just say “NO”
Its like Blackpool, what a crap holiday destination 😂😂
lol i disagree but thanks for watching,
Thanks for sharing this
Thank Kevin for showing them and their scams , appreciated . I believe they definitely moved becuz you were filming .
Great video. Benidorm looks as lovely as ever.🌴🌴 Haven't been since last Nov. Those bloody pea men they never give up do they. Fair play to you Kevin for filming and warming people about these theiving swines. 😂 I've been seeing them for the last 10 years in Benidorm. I was doing the same once filming them by the indoor market, and the same thing happened they picked up the box & moved on. But then only 15 mins later we saw them down on the beach front. They just don't give up. 😂 Seen them scarper a few times though when the police turn up. Ha ha 😁😅👍👍
Yip 2 groups of them were on the prom on my live video.
Well done 🎉 you for getting rid of this scam , 😢 x good man ❤
Thanks for letting us know
Well done Kevin. We're going to have to go back there now. No one could understand why we liked it after our first visit but we did.And neither of us drink alcohol either for no other reason than we don't like the taste of it. We nearly got robbed on a train in Barcelona. We boarded the train and were unaware a group of youngsters had surrounded us where we were standing. On getting off the train a young girl stopped in front of my wife wheeling her suitcase and because she had the hump just pushed forward hitting the girls ankles. As we walked along the platform my wife told me we were being followed so we stopped and they had to walk past us and I spotted them going over to the other platform. As we proceeded up the escalator someone following us told me my wife's ruck sack was open. It had been dipped but we had nothing in it. A lucky escape but keep your eyes out for this trick Kevin. I can't believe people are still falling for the pea trick. But then several years ago I had a chat with a lad giving out scratch cards for holiday homes party's and when I said to him your not still using that old scam he told me even more people were falling for it. You've now got another Sub Kevin.
Thanks
Thanks for the heads up, forgot all about the pea men scam.
Great video mate
Thanks 👍
Keep up the good work Kevin. I liked the science lesson. "it's called gravity" 😂
I've seen the pea men on London Bridge. They are everywhere.
Well done Kevin above and beyond,be careful son God bless.❤
Thanks
Thanks Kevin another great video avoid these scamming low life's like the plague take care stay safe
travel half way round the earth to watch football on tv ? but if theres no football watch the most boring tv ever, golf, your world must be bursting with excitement
Lol it is. Thanks for watching.
Well done for hi lighting these scams , everyone who wants to go abroad on a break should research scams in the country they are about to visit
Well done Kevin hopefully some people will see this video and be a bit more aware loving all your videos keep up the great work.
Thanks hope so
Also the pickpockets who will be in that crowd..
Like your style Kev,both a football and a golf supporter.Couple of good competitions on this weekend on the PGA tour and the DP Tour.
Great job 👍👍
Well done for that Kevin can't believe people still get involved with them no messing with a paisley buddie lol seriously your benidorm series has been superb good job 👍
Thanks for your kind words.
Great video 👍🏻, they were like rats up a drainpipe 😂😂😂❤️🙏🏻
Well done Kevin 🙌
I remember my ex wife getting scammed by the same trick for 100 euros many years ago...and she was an accountant!🤣🤣🤣
Wow
Jimmy Carrs accountant??
You should have gave him the glesga kiss lol 😂 toots granton Edinburgh 👍🏴🍺🥃
Well done Kevin….. the lady in the red T-shirt and HUGE bag was defo with them too
Defo
Brave man there kev ,be careful I’ve seen the size of the gangs involved there all around the pea men keeping an eye out
Loving your videos x
Thanks
Nice one Kev , great work !
My ma and da and wee bro lived in Finnistrat in Benidorm for a few years, my wee bro was just a kid and he learned all sorts of scams, British tourists did not know he was Glaswegian because he could speak Spanish and the old Spanish that most Spanish people can't even speak.
The pea man was well peed off 😂
Lol
He processed what was going on and spilt before things got mushy.
I like a corona, but not a sol. Sol is way too alcopop-ish, whereas corona still feels like a lager.
I saw this scam in Manchester some time ago. They have "punters" (their accomplices ) winning. Drawing the mugs in . I warned 3 of my cabby mates not to get sucked in... ignoring me, they each lost £50.00. The scammer's 3 mates all walked off in different directions. Then I saw them all meet up further down the road . How anyone can fall for this is beyond me.
In life if anything is too good to be true it usually is…
Tapas Alley is very commercialised of late, most of the tapas bars bought by the same businesses. At the start of you video, you panned round near the Burger King burger joint, that's Tapas Circle down there.Still independent tapas bars frequented by the Spanish and dirt cheap. Well done with the Pea Men BTW.
I filmed them in the same spot 20+ years ago with my camcorder. One of them immediately became very aggressive and chased me.
A few years ago I was there and was telling people not to play. A young man was quickly relieved of 80 Euros having won his on his first 2 goes.
He was v upset that he had been so gullible.
My wife and I have sat having breakfast in a cafe up one of the side alleys there.
The group of them, men and women, would come running by with the box every so often when their lookout had shouted that police on foot had been spotted.
The police appear disinterested. It would be easy to form a coordinated plan to round them up.
We still can't believe that people fall for this.
Yes the police don't care it gives the place a bad name .They tolerate the British for the money that's all.
Well done kev saw that scam in Majorca 20 years ago has been going on forever like others I don’t know how people fall for this
Well done mate
Well done Kev, but watch your back mate.
We got robbed on beach last year! Friends went in sea and my husband and I were distracted on our sun beds (whilst watching our friends stuff) for less than 30 seconds! They stole our friends wallet and phone!! So so quick and clever 😡
Sorry to hear that.
And evil and not Spanish
@@jamesjameson4566 correct! They are a Romanian gang apparently!
Looks like hell 😢
lol beach bars 25 degrees i will take that hell.
@@ScotsmaninTenerife I’m trying to get away from people on holiday not closer to them.
And the thought of spending time with drunken brits fills me with horror. Having said that I do like to watch your vlogs.
@ventibreeze6648 thanks check out my videos in quiet places , nerja, es canar etc
Why don't the holiday companies shout it loud and clear on the way out there
Seen this myself years ago in Mogan gran canaria horrible people no morals well done Kev
they are still there !
The lime is to keep flies out of the bottle.
Not been to Tenerife for twenty years.The scans where going on then.
Went on holiday to Spain with the lads my friend lost some money with the scam,he came back to them night after convinced that he new how to win ,lost all his money,he had to stay in couple nights he was skint,spoiled rest his holiday
Yip can't win
Here in Sweden they are STILL active with that crap in Gothenburgs park (Brunsparken) and in Stockholms Old town. And during my Canada trips last summer i saw it around Gas Town Van,BC.
Altough before Sweden went with EU we didnt see much of that shit or this jokers of road fixers🤣🤣
Yip worldwide scam
I love to see people enjoying their holidays but there are people in high authority that don't. I avoid the crowds as those same in authority have allowed criminals into our lovely haunts.
I fell a victim for this in benidorm as I was not aware of this scam last year. I recognise few members of the scam in this video. I made a video on tiktok to bring awareness for first timers going to benidorm, and the dealer on this video is the same guy with my video. I don’t understand how they haven’t been arrested yet.. there so much evidence and proof of who’s involved and what their intentions are..
Sorry to hear that
That place is weird, nothing looks Spanish!
Don't forget the dancing cutlery scam. A bit of music and the knives and forks literally start to dance. Of course you don't see the very fine wires, small electric motor and battery, but if you did the whole illusion is ruined. In the event of seeing this one, ask yourself why the cutlery in your kitchen doesn't dance when you turn on the radio. 😅
No football to watch. That must surely be a bonus. You surely go on holiday to avoid that crap.😊
depends who you watch lol
@@ScotsmaninTenerife football is so boring 😴. I don't see the fuss. If there was a full bar with it on and an empty one without. Guess where I go?
@littlebigman6957 each to their own you can go to any bar .
@@ScotsmaninTenerife I know. As you say each to there own. I just hate f%%%ball with a passion.
For me, too many people. Not for me. X
People drop their guard on holiday
The police don't bother about the potato scam 😢
I saw it at Mogan few weeks ago no one was anywhere near there table 😭
I would like to go benidorm, but the crowds put me off, plus I am a solo traveller
Put lime on your beer keeps the flys away in very warm countries from your beer don’t won’t no floaters 😂
Well done kevin u scared them away u right to film them people would thank u if knew . Dont like see this horrible people out there
Amusing howw kriminals, cops & government time thieves hate cameras.
Winnie Wallace... Looks pretty boring to me . Parading up and down in front of equally boring people. This must be Spains answer to the UK'S Blackpool.
Lol thanks for watching check out my blackpool videos I done last month.
I think he might have got peed off there kevin and fair play to you for making people aware of the scammers
Scammers everywhere😬👎🏼 Mon the Scots in Spain😁💪🏼
I wish I could have a holiday there
Saw this scam in Tenerife, 20 years ago
Great work Kev looks nice there
Thanks 👍
Estrella is my favourite 😊
That scam happens every day on Westminster bridge in London
