Wow！This is a scam When we came to Vietnam today we were forced to shine our shoes (Suddenly took out a coconut and gave it to me) I will step on their hands I will run away the next time I see them I will call the police an (strong refusal) Remind everyone on Youtube I'm Becky As you can see in the title, this video is about street scams in Vietnam. I didn't expect this type of video could have a second episode Last time I posted The video on preventing robbery and fraud received very enthusiastic feedback and has reached 110K views , but it still needs to be explained first because the previous video received a lot of comments. Some people shared their personal experiences , some had the intention of traveling. Vietnamese calendar but after watching the video, I was completely scared . Some people even went to extremes and started abusing the whole country. So I think it is necessary to do some balanced reporting. The vast majority of Vietnamese people very enthusiastic and kind. What is mentioned in the Video is the extremely bad behavior of a small group of people who target foreign tourists so they will appear in places where tourists gather. When traveling there are certain risks, I will also tell you where the pitfalls are, you just need to avoid them, no need to generalize and criticize THEN our video will officially start Weather in Vietnam is very hot, tourists like to drink cold coconut water. You can see these coconut sellers at tourist spots in the city , of which I saw the most outside the Ho Chi Minh City Museum on Ly Tu Trong . They were fixed There and if there are foreign tourists passing by they will chat with you to let you know their scams. At first they will pretend to be very friendly and tell you to be careful with your bags. cell phone, etc. or ask where you are going and help you give directions then put the pole directly on your shoulder so you can take pictures then start chopping coconuts and force you to buy Ask him about the price? Maybe they pretend not to understand and don't answer or they say 15K in English and then charge 50K when paying. At this point, the foreigner will think, Oh, did I hear wrongly just now, but no, it's not like they're pronouncing English. It's wrong , they just did it on purpose. Or he said he was going home to give away free coconuts and then started chopping coconuts to give to tourists. Tourists wanted to pay so they asked for the price and the result was 50K . Foreigners are often surprised. However, they were surprised at the price but they just couldn't help but pay. This time I also went to the place of risking my life deep into the enemy camp . Let's go and see it together. Hello. Now I'm next to the Lake City Museum. Chi Minh I want to see how the coconut sellers here scam tourists I also dress more like a tourist I also wear sneakers and carry a travel book I look like a tourist schedule? So let's see what happens when we see coconut sellers here approaching tourists to remind them to put their phones in their museum bags ? Ho Chi Minh City Museum (Show where the entrance is) Entrance OK Where are you going? Where do you go? museum (pretending to be kind and giving directions) What country are you from?

The man was clearly wearing slippers. To not make them suspicious, I still bought a ticket to the Ho Chi Minh City Museum . Chinese tourists also enter the museum. Please interview quickly. They offered 350K but I said it's too expensive, don't give it, they said 300K, I said no then they said 200K but I didn't give it. So they just took off your shoes? That's right, take it off now I don't even have time to react I don't have time to react Then another person came to take off my shoes so I yelled and scolded and left Then you pay Are not? I just gave her 50K 50K It seems they usually start at 200K and ask you for 350K You will have to pay 350K for shoe shine 350K VND is equivalent to how much RMB About 100RMB Then people ask for 200K I say no Then the person I asked for 100K I said no I only gave 50K then people got very angry I only have 50K do you want it? So they don't quote you a price first? Don't just take it directly, people will bring glue and shine shoes directly, people will see that we come from other countries. We were buying coconuts when people came!@#$%^ What about coconuts? How much does it cost to buy a coconut? 44RMB two coconuts That's quite expensive Only 150K and two coconuts 150K two coconuts Very expensive, very expensive, very expensive Usually 15K on the side of the road Just now someone asked me and they quoted me 50K You bought 2 coconuts coconut price 150K There are too many pitfalls here. We saw him reminding us not to take our phones out. This is his scam Wow！This is a scam This is a scam He just told you in advance Wow

It's National Day Yes, just got here Today when we arrived we were forced to shine our shoes Remind everyone on Youtube Yes Thank you also for accepting the interview (The shoe shiner is eyeing my shoes me) (Hold the small brush near my shoes) (strongly refused) As soon as I walked out the shoe shiner immediately came forward and pointed at my shoes but they were sneakers and one cannot take them off okay so he took a small brush and pointed to a spot on my shoe saying I will brush it for you My shoes are super new probably only worn for the third time super clean so maybe people will charge me 200～300K to touch the shoes. In the video, I only saw many people shining shoes. This is similar to coconut scams. I often see these shoe shiners near Ben Thanh market. I didn't expect it that day. There are also a few people outside the Ho Chi Minh City Museum. They just carry a small box of tools and see foreigners coming and asking if they want to have their shoes shined. Their operating model is that at first they say the shoe shine fee is is 20K , the customer agrees, during the shoe polishing process, people do some repairs themselves without asking the customer's permission . In the end, the fee is 100～200K which is shocking . There are some worse ways than going directly. stealing customers' shoes like the Chinese family I met that day. Before that, an Australian female tourist to Hanoi was pulled by a shoe shiner and forced to take off her shoes. She was told the repair cost was 100K but the price was The final offer was 900K. The female tourist said it was more expensive than buying a new pair of shoes. If they refused to pay, these shoe shiners would scream and then call their accomplices to help, even local Vietnamese people would scared so I usually pay and resolve the matter. This is not a single seller they are a group divided into areas roughly distributed in District 1 and District 3, which can be seen at the Reunification Palace Museum War Ho Chi Minh City Museum Previously, there was a reporter who infiltrated this organization, and the organization's leader taught him that the selling price of a coconut to local people is 20K if he meets foreign customers , he must quickly thrusting coconuts into their hands when customers asked for the price, holding up one finger to represent 10 USD, five fingers representing 5 USD , the leader also demonstrated on the spot with an undercover reporter and immediately beheaded 2 customers. tourist and said his daily income is about 600～700K or even more. If the tourist does not pay, the street vendor will blatantly take money from his wallet or call his accomplices, all of whom have coconut cutting knives in their hands. Foreign tourists can't bear to offend them so they have to pay. I posted on Facebook asking if you have ever bought coconuts from these people? How much? Fans replied that the price is definitely 50～70K. The method is similar to what I just mentioned. It's clearly a robbery. Many local people also know about this situation but don't dare to speak up . So, if you look If you see these people selling coconuts and shoe shine on the street , remember to ignore them. OK, this video is just that.
