Exposing India's Begging Scams (Beware!)

Have you come across these begging scams? Not all beggars are genuine; I expose 3 fake beggars in this video so you know what to avoid when you travel to India. The most common begging scams I've come across are the Ranipur calamity fake charity scam, fake medical bills scam, and fake donation collectors.

These scams can happen anywhere in India. Begging scammers commonly target tourist areas, busy intersections, expensive parts of cities, and railway stations. If you meet any of them, just say "no" and keep walking. Don't fall for their lies. These are professional beggars who are trying to trick you into donating money to a fake cause.

If you want to give to beggars, you need to verify their story. If approached by a beggar who claims to be in a dire situation, exercise caution. Ask questions and evaluate their responses. Genuine individuals in need might provide coherent and consistent explanations.

Trust your instincts too. If something feels suspicious or doesn't seem right, trust your gut instinct. It's better to err on the side of caution and refrain from engaging with potential scammers.

Spread awareness: Share information about begging scams with friends, family, and your community. Increasing awareness about these scams can help protect others from falling prey to fraudulent schemes.

03:21 I'll report back if Manisha and I have twin boys. He couldn't tell me my mother or ex-girlfriend’s names either. Just remember, nothing is free on the streets. Beware of fake friendly strangers.

It’s so sad that when all the scammers see Karl and just assume he is a foreigner but actually Karl lives in India

[DarkKnight-OO]

Moral of the story: Never give money to someone who follows you or forces you to donate.

5:08 “You got to learn to say NO!” - The best advice!
I used to be very soft-hearted and people were taking advantage of me because of that including the so called “friends” back then. It took years for me to learn to say no. If someone is around you because of benefits only, you’ll realize the truth the first time you say no.

Honestly, I dont see India as the next superpower, the corruption is crazy.

These scams are very common in Delhi, I lived in Delhi for a good numbers of years and I have seen so many of these scammers, first time I met them I thought it was genuine but turned out it was scam. Karl I am sure your boldness of exposing these scams are saving lot of tourists. Keep up the good work.

[MrSomethingElse]

I love how you are firm but also compassionate to anyone genuinely ill...

[deicym.umlong]

I'm from India and i applaud you for bringing this to light and educating foreigners on these types of scams. I myself have been scammed plenty of times and it makes it harder to identify between genuine cases and fake ones. My advice is to Just don't trust those people and ignore them they will leave you alone.

“Which school?”
“Orphanage.”

Sounds legit lol

[vivaankris]

I am an Indian, and I'm sad a lot of scams are going on in India. But I wanna Thank You for exposing these shameless scammers.
Edit: I'M FAMOUS!

[nicholasdiaz]

Thanks for spreading awareness! We all need to be alert and aware and stay safe from being scammed. Pay close attention to both their actions and their words.

[NKal]

I'm glad you're putting these videos out, the scary thing is that even Indians find these to be content they're not aware about. I've actually learned a lot about these scams. Cheers mate! 🍻

Good job Karl showing us foreigners what to watch out for. I usually just say no and walk away.

I fell for the hotel tariff scam while working in Bengaluru. A man came up to me with a story of having to be in the City but he cannot afford the hotel bill (if I recall). I paid something, but less than he wanted. A month later (when I was more of a veteran to life in India), the same guy came to me with the same exact story when I was downtown around MG and Brigade. I lost it on him, and made a scene, as I was frustrated and to let others around know not to fall for the scam.

You want a nice holiday? Never ever went to India 😅

[ursp.]

Preach, word to the “No”!
I really enjoyed your straight talking about saying, “No”.

[deepanshhh]

Not just for foreigners visiting India, this is so helpful for locals as well. The first scam shown in the video, the exact same thing happened to me a month ago. Wish Karl had uploaded this video a month ago 😢

[Zoroark]

You really opened my eyes when you brought up that learning to say “No” is one of the most essential things in life, be it wherever you may be. I’ve been in really uncomfortable situations before because I didn’t know how to say no. I feel like I needed to hear that, so thank you!

Thanks for all the advise you give us. You didn’t just educate us on how to deal with these kinds of scams, but you also gave some really good life advice, so thank you! And keep us the great work!🙌🏼
