The newest episode of the #SCAMGUIDE series is out! The scammer attacked me in a tram and tried to bite me. Yes, it's crazy and completely caught on camera: th-cam.com/video/5SUi1iF7mZA/w-d-xo.html Thank you for your support, new video every month!
Thanks to your guide in Rome I was able to stay away from scammers. Just in one day 5 strangers tried to talk to me on the streets. Please take care of yourselves!
unfortunately barely anything happens to the scammers because they’re all members of a protected minority. It starts with a G and ends in y. there is no group whose members are more faithfully committed to conforming to their stereotypes. and the stereotype in this case is nonstop crime
In the Netherlands we have Kees van der Spek he has a dutch tv show exposing foreign scammers. Its great to watch because he always confronts them and he is a big dude who is not afraid so most of the time they will coward away lol.
UK laws are f. stupid same in a lot of countrys police in many case even if they catch scammer they can not prove it and tourist victim not gone waste time with police and court . No victim no crime 🤷😂
Bro, you are crazy, I really love the content you create. In Turkish, we have a proverb "In a country, there is no salvation unless the honest are as brave as the dishonest ones." You are working for that, may the force be with you.
Given the massive existence of ultra nationalist racism, murder and oppression of ethnic minorities and constant denial by the majority that it happens, I guess implies the honest ones are not as brave as the dishonest ones and there is no salvation.
Journalists are not cops or soldiers man. They are usually normal people who just sit in the office and write or film whats happening in your country or abroad. I dont understand why you all put such a heavy emotions around journalists. Most of them just want to inform people, get their average salary (salaries in journalism are under-average) get home and chill, just like 90% of other proffesions - people. Yet they face such a hatred and criticism from everyone that im surprised that anyone is still doing the job.. Give them peace, criticize mafia, murderers, terrorists, not journalists
Pro tip when needing to call the cops or emergencies services and you can't do it yourself : Don't shout at everyone in the crowd in hope someone will do it (everyone think someone else will make the call) but point to a single person and ask him/her to call the cops, an ambulance...
@@axa897 I disagree, I'm Czech and the exact advice was given to us at school (a Czech school). It's a basic crowd psychology that works universally anywhere.
@@axa897 Firefighter here: he is right, the crowd is stunned and does not know what to do, if you say "somebody call (cops, ambulance, fire brigade) then everyone will think that someone else will do it. But once personally adressed that's a different story. It's important to know for when there are emergencies and you are a first responder to efficiently delegate the surrounding people. Cause when you do CPR you can't call an ambulance or secure traffic etc.
@Björn Björk bullshit. They are not in their home, they are not Czechs, they are criminals. Nothing wrong in saying they should be deported. Nobody wants criminals.
i love how you have the balls to do this but can still keep so calm you dont attack them. if i was you i think i would have been arrested for assaulting the scammers by now
I legitimately laughed out loud at the "introduction" of "the gang" part 🤣🤣🤣 As always, thanks for all you do Janek. I got an Airbnb for my trip to Prague next month and the guy tried to tell me about bad exchange rate places and how to get to city center and stuff and I just felt like 😎 cause I already knew it all because of you. So thanks!! I can't wait to visit your amazing city so soon!!!!!
This seems really dangerous, I really hope you have people near by when confronting these scumbags. Threatening a gang's income in no joke, no matter how many virtual followers you have. Protection is always necessary for your own safety, you can't rely on police or passersby to help when needed.
I am not from Prague but from my small knowledge of the area I don't think they carry weapons of any sort its not like your in London where they might throw acid at you or shank your guts out
They are probably known to the police but to call them corrupt is short sighted. It is hard to combat these small time street thugs since punishment is low and they'll just keep doing it again as soon as they are released again. It is a never ending cycle that takes up too much of police resources and capacity. Also note that most of them did not speak Czech, this is because they are most of the time gangs from Romania. They will "work" in one tourist hotspot and when it gets too hot they just move to another city evading local police attention.
The problem is somewhere else. Cops want arrest this thugs but.... if this mf change not much. Up 10 000 CZ crown its a crime. Less then 10 000 CZ Crowns its a small ofence and this thug can gets only ticket for this. This suspects didnt pay a ticket and even after that they can stay in CZ according our law. Cops wants change this crap many many years but politicians didnt nothing do with this. As a cop i can say one thing. Iam really pissed about this situations but i cant do much with this. If they change more than 10 000 CZ Crowns its crime and its automatic ban to enter to CZ for this Thungs because 100 % these thugs arent from CZ. They are from Bulgaria, Romania and others eastern states NOT CZECHS...
Low level crime which requires a significant amount more investigative work than most other petty theft type crimes. I just don’t think it is the top of the police’s priority list.

I don't think they are bribed. But Czech police can't do anything else that what law allows them, and in the eyes of law this thing doesn't matter. So it's faulted law system, not police

Janek & Honza: You both must be careful for your own safety. These bad dudes may plan something to stop you from filming. Perhaps you need to hire your own “muscle” to be nearby if violence erupts.
Hiring someone for protection is’t cheap. I believe that this is also a public matter and the police should get involved in these actions. Being on the spot, they could react quickly and arrest the fraudster.
@@mrjollamoe You are misinformed, they are in the Czech Republic where you allowed to concealed-carry with a license and carry weapons for the purposes of defence.
I’ve watched many of your old scam-related videos and it’s sad to see that your country and many European countries don’t really care about such street crimes. You catching them one by one helps but not in the long run, even with the YT videos to expose them. The government needs to do something.

Haha, right GP ;) I agree what you (nazv765) claim to be possible (educate the masses) would be really good. Unfortunately masses are lot more than 1.3mln views in this world. If course it's better to educate some than none, but I think it's still a lot easier to try to catch the cheaters than to educate every single person ;) Still, great job with this channel! DO NOT STOP :3

I CANNOT WAIT FOR THIS SERIES! It looks so promising! I hope hope hope you were able to get some of these scammers into some police-involved consequences.
I love watching your videos, but I'm honestly worried this will eventually end badly. There's only one of you, but an infinite amount of bad guys, it's a battle you can't win on your own. Please stay safe, your content is great even without catching scammers.
@@guatagel2454 This is not 90s anymore. If these Romanian scammers have SOME connections to any police whatsoever, then it's probably in single digits.
@@Puleczech ah my first thought was r o m a , yes some cops are still on the take but it would affect tourism so police have to and should act , bad reviews see visitors go elsewhere ,
The Meet The Gang segment is one of the most hilarious clips ive ever seen. It's just comedy gold. Anyway love the channel, scammers are everywhere, but especially tourists are vulnerable, i love binge watching and seeping in as much knowledge as i can. Best regards from Sweden! :D
I'll tell you one thing: BE CAREFUL. As brave as this is, you never know if/when they will give you a group beating, or worse. Stil love your content. Stay safe out there!
My father and I got scammed roughly 15 years ago while visiting Prague exactly in this way. We found out after going out for dinner and trying to pay with the money that we exchanged for our Euros on the street. I don't remember how we got out of that situation but we were definitely embarrassed and haven't even spoke of it since.
If I'm abroad I basically assume anyone who approaches me is a scammer. Also, it's good to have a credit card instead of cash because if it gets stolen you won't have to pay any bills they run up, but if a debit card gets stolen it's your own money that'll be spent.
Great content 👍 I'm always vigilant to strangers coming up out of the blue to help. These guys are not tourists, but probably Romanian gypsies. Unfortunately, they're notorious to these kinds of scams. What I didn't realize was how many were involved & how good these guys are in their scamming. So unfortunate. They seem to get away time & time again. These ppl are the cancers of society. Here, they have an opportunity to make an honest living, but no, it's in their DNA to live a life cheating others over (unsuspecting tourists). Great for you to bring this to light & hopefully, tourists don't get duped after watching this.
Good for you!!! I go to Czech regularly with my czech husband and the one time I was there without him I got ripped off and my expensive camera was stolen out of my bag. Its a beautiful place to see but these scams can ruin the opinion of a beautiful place!
Thank you for what you do. The best deterrence is putting in criminal’s mind that he/she will be caught. As you educate the public on these scams and how to avoid/report (especially with ubiquitous phones), you’re doing great service for tourists and Prague!
This happened when I visited Prague in 1990. This scam is an oldie but goodie. Don’t ever change money on the street. Thanks for so being brave. Stay safe.
Huge respect for you and your team, sir, for the excellent work being done over the years as both a "tourist cop" and an ambassador for your lovely city and county. Look forward to both your videos and a trip to the Czech Republic. How i wish every country/city had its own Honest Guide! Lots of love and best wishes. Stay blessed and stay safe!
When I arrived at my hostel in Prague, the first roommate I met was looking really down in the dumps. He'd arrived earlier in the day, been got by this scam (by someone waiting outside a closed shop), and tried to pay for his meal with the phony money. It really put a bad taste in my mouth for the whole time I was in the otherwise beautiful city. Good on you guys for this whole channel.
This is so well done! First of all, let's praise the filming, cutting and editing because it sadly doesn't get the attention it deserves here in the comments. Secondly, it is amazing that you do the police's job. Haha you both deserve a medal from the mayor! Third, please stay save. What you do is very dangerous.
I’ll never go to Prague. Politicians should be pestering the police to do more and the politicians need to change the laws so this is a serious offence.
Well according to your logic you shouldn't go anywhere, because there is crime everywhere in the world. But Prague is one of the most beautiful cities in Europe,so you're missing.
To give you more fear: From my expierience with this Pest you cant go to Italy, and Major Cities of France, Belgium, Germany, Great Britain and Greece.
Thanks for another worthwhile investigative look into scammers. It seems a lot of people are supporting you, but also worried for your safety. Maybe we should get some people together and give you a hand next time ;) Safety in numbers
dude you are amazing. world needs more people like u. with courage to face those scammers. i whis i could helpyou some way better than just spread the word! thankyou!!!
Congrats man, you got real courage to uncover all this stuff. You are doing a really nice job with your videos. I really appreciate. Take care and stay safe!
@gecko most probably he is, just like me, but that's like asking an italian if he or she is ashamed of the 'Ndranghetta or any other syndicate in Italy..
@gecko Why would he be ashamed of them? They are their own persons and do not represent an entire people. They are criminals and should go to jail for what they do.
@gecko they are not our fellow "countrymen". [Cant say the name] have their own identity, laws and society. The reason why they flee to other countries is because our system is harshes and they are afraid of getting beat up by the police. But hey, in the age of "tolerance" you arent allowed to talk about the criminal activities that surround minorities.
Great job guys, awesome that you're exposing this to help others and love the channel. Hope you all don't end up getting hurt from these toxic types of people at the same time. Be safe & well!
I am a Ukrainian expat. I go back regularly to visit my family. One thing I've learnt there (the hard way) is to not use ATM'S on the streets if possible as they might have a scamming device on them. Always go inside the bank if you can and use the bank employee to do the transaction manually.
@@sheepsfoot2 😅 No mate, Russian/Ukrainian Gypsies are not that smart. These are people who have some kind of IT background. My guess would be that they are travelling gangs more likely from either Russia, Ukraine, Belorussia ( before the war). I should think that they move frequently to avoid getting caught.
If more people in the world had the good morals and Tough and consistent attitude as you did things will be so much better thank you so much just wish there was a few of you in every city

I agree what you (nazv765) claim to be possible (educate the masses) would be really good. Unfortunately masses are lot more than 1.3mln views in this world. If course it's better to educate some than none, but I think it's still a lot easier to try to catch the cheaters than to educate every single person ;)
Still, great job with this channel!
DO NOT STOP :3
Dont ever stop what u do. These scammers need to go out of business.
these scam-bags really need to get off the turf
Good job man, be safe. Criminals don't always act the way you may expect!
This is how real heroes look like. You are the best! Thank you.
You're a fucking hero, a man of action, I love that, you're such a rare breed, the world need people like you.
a hero for supporting organized State crime ?
@@videoarchiv6938 you mean against the poor scammers & criminals?
Are you a libertarian?
@@mustang19ms poland CZ and Ukraine are the most criminal and corrupt usa colonies. the police gets its share from them if u report them or call the police. the police and polirticians are a part of this mafia. either way u support it by doing nothing or going the "normal" way of police report blablabla. self justice !
You guys should touch tips.
Sha boing boing
I CANNOT WAIT FOR THIS SERIES! It looks so promising! I hope hope hope you were able to get some of these scammers into some police-involved consequences.
This is level Netflix trailer season :D :D
I love watching your videos, but I'm honestly worried this will eventually end badly. There's only one of you, but an infinite amount of bad guys, it's a battle you can't win on your own. Please stay safe, your content is great even without catching scammers.
Fear should never stop you from acting
The police is involved with the scammers. It is impossible to win this fight against currency scammers.
@@guatagel2454 yep. Police is corrupted. They do surely receive part of the profit.
@@guatagel2454 This is not 90s anymore. If these Romanian scammers have SOME connections to any police whatsoever, then it's probably in single digits.
@@Puleczech ah my first thought was r o m a , yes some cops are still on the take but it would affect tourism so police have to and should act , bad reviews see visitors go elsewhere ,
5:39 I LOVE THIS EDIT SO MUCH!
Absolute respect to you for going after them.
Excellent exposure. Only this type of continued coverage will make people aware and help cities get rid of these scams. Great job.
Love the ending credits!! Tubby, MMA Dude! Brilliant😄
The Meet The Gang segment is one of the most hilarious clips ive ever seen. It's just comedy gold.
Anyway love the channel, scammers are everywhere, but especially tourists are vulnerable, i love binge watching and seeping in as much knowledge as i can.
Best regards from Sweden! :D
"The spitter" and "the mma" r my fav 🤣🤣🤣
That is my favourite part too! Pure Guy Ritchie style and we all love it, especially when the bad guys all f...cked up! :)
The angry grandpa seems like he is yelling something in Romanian...
It felt like I am watching Guy Ritchie’s film 😂
Great work helping rid Prague of these criminals. Stay safe!
I'll tell you one thing: BE CAREFUL. As brave as this is, you never know if/when they will give you a group beating, or worse. Stil love your content. Stay safe out there!
Exactly, they are famous for fair fights. Just you and me and 10 my buddies. 😐
You’re legend to expose them 😂!
Integrity level Max with this man 🤣🤣
got mad respect for you dude, a TH-camr that cares about humanity and not about clicks!
My father and I got scammed roughly 15 years ago while visiting Prague exactly in this way. We found out after going out for dinner and trying to pay with the money that we exchanged for our Euros on the street. I don't remember how we got out of that situation but we were definitely embarrassed and haven't even spoke of it since.
😂
Stuck up
This shows how much the police care. This scam has been going on forever.
Brilliant, at least someone is looking out for the people, exactly what the police should be doing.
Thank u for the great job u do.
Greetings from France.
I get worried for you in these situations -- stay safe and THANK YOU!
Man you guys are amazing. These scammers and drug mafia has really no place in Prague.
They have no place in all of Europe, except from where they came from.
buying drugs in Prague was actually pretty easy and great. Can recommend
@@attk177 yeah Dutch drugs...easy
I have been watching this amazing channel for years and they are STILL doing this???!!! I'm glad to see you are still going strong man! Keep it up!
This was awesome. I love how sophisticated this whole production was.
You are a legend Janek! Thanks for these videos, they really feel like a movie sometimes
keep up the awesome content ♥️
If I'm abroad I basically assume anyone who approaches me is a scammer. Also, it's good to have a credit card instead of cash because if it gets stolen you won't have to pay any bills they run up, but if a debit card gets stolen it's your own money that'll be spent.
Take care of yourself man! This sometimes feels so dangerous. You do fantastic job.
Thank you for the passion and hard work you and Honza do to keep people safe in your beautiful home. Love the videos. Be safe
Love Czech Republic and Europe from India 🇮🇳.
You guys are the best!!!!
Keep it up Janek and Honza👍
I really respect this guy for going out of his way to help others. Kudos to you and may God Bless you!
This is the way
Great content 👍 I'm always vigilant to strangers coming up out of the blue to help. These guys are not tourists, but probably Romanian gypsies. Unfortunately, they're notorious to these kinds of scams. What I didn't realize was how many were involved & how good these guys are in their scamming. So unfortunate. They seem to get away time & time again. These ppl are the cancers of society. Here, they have an opportunity to make an honest living, but no, it's in their DNA to live a life cheating others over (unsuspecting tourists).
Great for you to bring this to light & hopefully, tourists don't get duped after watching this.
Good for you!!! I go to Czech regularly with my czech husband and the one time I was there without him I got ripped off and my expensive camera was stolen out of my bag. Its a beautiful place to see but these scams can ruin the opinion of a beautiful place!
You could make a Netflix series out of this topic. Would be very entertaining.
Why Netflix?
@@Darwinek Maybe he works for netflix and wants to 'scam' people into buying a subscription.
@@Darwinek People comment this on every successful video as if the only place to find good content is Netflix. haha
@Darwinek true, only another form of con artists after your money
Very educational and entertaining love your videos.
Thank you for what you do. The best deterrence is putting in criminal’s mind that he/she will be caught. As you educate the public on these scams and how to avoid/report (especially with ubiquitous phones), you’re doing great service for tourists and Prague!
This happened when I visited Prague in 1990. This scam is an oldie but goodie. Don’t ever change money on the street. Thanks for so being brave. Stay safe.
Huge respect for you and your team, sir, for the excellent work being done over the years as both a "tourist cop" and an ambassador for your lovely city and county.
Look forward to both your videos and a trip to the Czech Republic. How i wish every country/city had its own Honest Guide! Lots of love and best wishes. Stay blessed and stay safe!
When I arrived at my hostel in Prague, the first roommate I met was looking really down in the dumps. He'd arrived earlier in the day, been got by this scam (by someone waiting outside a closed shop), and tried to pay for his meal with the phony money. It really put a bad taste in my mouth for the whole time I was in the otherwise beautiful city. Good on you guys for this whole channel.
This is so well done!
First of all, let's praise the filming, cutting and editing because it sadly doesn't get the attention it deserves here in the comments.
Secondly, it is amazing that you do the police's job. Haha you both deserve a medal from the mayor!
Third, please stay save. What you do is very dangerous.
You guys are legends
You are the reason I will visit Prague! Thanks!
I’ll never go to Prague. Politicians should be pestering the police to do more and the politicians need to change the laws so this is a serious offence.
Well according to your logic you shouldn't go anywhere, because there is crime everywhere in the world. But Prague is one of the most beautiful cities in Europe,so you're missing.
The politicians are allowing Gypsies to ruin the city.
@@nitroall every single shop in Turkey in a tourist area is a scam. Dont even let me start
To give you more fear: From my expierience with this Pest you cant go to Italy, and Major Cities of France, Belgium, Germany, Great Britain and Greece.
no sorry, we want freedom, and this unfortunetly goes with it.
I don't know why, but what gets me the most is how offended they act when called out.
This
offense is the best defence.
or ... when feeling weak, act strong.
it is all a bluff in that moment.
Rats
Great job! Keep fighting for your country, for the cops to do their job and bring those scammers to justice.
DON'T GIVE UP!
Guys, you are doing a great job! Wish to have more people like you in this world!
Thanks for another worthwhile investigative look into scammers. It seems a lot of people are supporting you, but also worried for your safety. Maybe we should get some people together and give you a hand next time ;) Safety in numbers
The fact that you guys got this slow motion shot at 06:17 really got me laughing so hard.😂😂😂
please continue what you do! the world need more people like you! thank you
dude you are amazing. world needs more people like u. with courage to face those scammers. i whis i could helpyou some way better than just spread the word!
thankyou!!!
Congrats man, you got real courage to uncover all this stuff. You are doing a really nice job with your videos. I really appreciate. Take care and stay safe!
You're just incredible! Much love and respect from Romania.
@gecko most probably he is, just like me, but that's like asking an italian if he or she is ashamed of the 'Ndranghetta or any other syndicate in Italy..
@gecko im glad they aren't in my country anymore.
@gecko Why would he be ashamed of them? They are their own persons and do not represent an entire people. They are criminals and should go to jail for what they do.
@gecko they are not our fellow "countrymen".
[Cant say the name] have their own identity, laws and society.
The reason why they flee to other countries is because our system is harshes and they are afraid of getting beat up by the police.
But hey, in the age of "tolerance" you arent allowed to talk about the criminal activities that surround minorities.
You are doing a great job. My experience is that it’s dangerous to come in between a man’s living/money so stay safe!
especially if these men are gypsys....
I'm super proud of you man. Thanks for what your doing
Great job guys, awesome that you're exposing this to help others and love the channel. Hope you all don't end up getting hurt from these toxic types of people at the same time. Be safe & well!
Damn I'm impressed with you guys! God bless you in what you do!
Episode 2 is up - how Google Photos actually helped us to catch these scammers: th-cam.com/video/QTE5EIjxDbM/w-d-xo.html
God bless you,
Appreciate your remarkable act. You and your team are simply good human beings and the society in every country needs honest guide like you. We
Amazing! Respect to you how you helped the family and kicked the ass of the scammer. Well done brave man. Stay safe, God bless you.
Man, every European capital should have a guy like you.
Why just every Europian? It’s should be every country should have a guy like him.
God Bless you Man! You're doing a great job! Just please be extra careful with your safety. These scammers can be dangerous
you did a great job!!! scammers should be exposed!!!
You are amazing. Wish I knew about your channel before I visited Prague 👍
Great video again..
Thanks my friend..
Many greetings from Greece..🇬🇷
@discord stuff Fun Fact: I'm actually in crete now 😅🤣
@discord stuff what do you mean late bro it's only 2:25 🤣
@discord stuff it is very nice destination brother.. goodnight. And visit crete more often if you can. Now believe me it's even better from 2014 😁☺
you guys truly are amazing. love your efforts.
For a guy like me that is soon going to prague, i believe that what you are doing is great for the city and the tourist. Keep it up!
I am a Ukrainian expat. I go back regularly to visit my family. One thing I've learnt there (the hard way) is to not use ATM'S on the streets if possible as they might have a scamming device on them. Always go inside the bank if you can and use the bank employee to do the transaction manually.
What are they ? the scammers Gypsies ?
@@sheepsfoot2 😅 No mate, Russian/Ukrainian Gypsies are not that smart. These are people who have some kind of IT background. My guess would be that they are travelling gangs more likely from either Russia, Ukraine, Belorussia ( before the war). I should think that they move frequently to avoid getting caught.
@ *RiVeRs, Sheepfoot 2,* I have a question. Why did y’all have to cite gypsies in this?! 😮 That is so not nice. 🇨🇦
@@servantJerubbaalgodSlayer Are you a gypsy?
@@tandlreeve
You r an immigrant , now you r a refugee !!!
If more people in the world had the good morals and Tough and consistent attitude as you did things will be so much better thank you so much just wish there was a few of you in every city
