*we're all sheep mate*
Sam mind yourself dude
R2D2 T the fact that you're watching this and commenting goes to show that you are a sheep.
You are so smart.Did Mensa heard about you?😂😂😂
KrappyFriedCat I just got mind fucked
KrappyFriedCat Someone is a sheep because he watched a video? What planet are you living on lmao
Like how they were all honest about it
londontrada jep and that scam is kinda OK , i have no Problem with it. noone get robed , noone gets hurt, just encouraged to buy stuff. I wont Fall for it because I'm General against this capitalidtic and consume society , i bearly buy stuff , mostly healthy , biological food.
But all people who lives to buy will get a good Feeling getting this " good trade" so I dont Care.
his vest literally says fragrance promotion like I don't know how much more obvious they can get. it's crowd encouragement and whether it's ethical or not is up to the individual to decide
I see no scam here. Like the guy said, people ARE sheep and tend to flock together and not do anything "first". The guys had vests on telling ppl who and what they are... not the owners problem, if the retards can't read.
This is bullshit. Sure, everytime you see a crowd, first thing you do is reading their clothes if they belong to the buisness. It's obvious people don't do that. With the sensation of these people around they create the impression that it is a popular deal. But that's definitley not the fault of the others. Stop feeling smart bitch
All I'm saying is that if you see a bunch of people jumping into a well and you jump into that well for that reason, you're a moron. And so are the others who jumped. Just because others are doing it, doesn't make the thing less moronic. Learn to think for yourself.
That wasn't a scam more as that was a super smart strategy lol
More like a common marketing strategy.
Over here yes, but there are many instances where pretend customers are all working together, to get you to spend money. It is a scam.
That's what we used to do in Habbo hotels like 10 years ago and every multiplayer game where you could scam people. :D savage 8 year olds.
Well if they're not getting the perfume that they're paying for then it's a scam? He said it wasn't the same perfume as it was advertised as.
1:15
I mean... He's right, they're not being dishonest hiring "fake" buyers.
That's what clubs do also, they hire dancers to get the ball rolling.
Except he was dishonest when he said they were "shutting down".
@@Nico-ur2po That's the same as when stores say "limited stock". It's to make people buy the product quicker though they actually do have plenty in stock
This guy is shutting his shop down since like 2005 when I seen him there for first time :D
It's what celebrities do, large business use them to encourage the public. Not anything new.
The scammer is a genius and I like how he just told you straight up
And you're a fucking idiot!
@@littlesatan.8904 Keep it light hearted will ya? I agree he wouldn't be selling fake stuff but as for the business strategy, that's relatively smart. Something straight out of "Nathan for you"
+Gobarn
I can't agree with him though. That's kinda of messed up. in a certain way
Little Satan. Nah u just angry you couldn’t think of an idea that lucrative
@@littlesatan.8904
You more
That codger did have a point though "we're all sheep" he's just talking advantage of it.
Totally agree
Matthew Coupland lmao u can say that about any scam..
k4bloggs not every scam no, different scams play on different emotions, for example the perfume scam plays on the emotion that people want to fit in,the Nigerian prince for example pulls on peoples family ties and greed, completely different things, you're wrong.
Matthew Coupland ok agreed I was wrong with what I said. the point I was trying to make was that u can justify almost any scam by using excuses of people's gullibility. or as u said, their emotions... im süre you're not trying to justify it but yeah.. its just wrong.
k4bloggs not trying to justify it at all, people fall for them because they're stupid, they deserve it.
He's a genius 😂
Jimmy Miller dishonest with cash *bling* *bling*
555 Droid a
3RA hey whagevee makes you stacks of cash
Jimmy Miller if you can get away with dishonesty you are pretty smart.
3RA how is he dishonest tho
Not a scam but a sales tactic. I respect it.
How is it not a scam to promise a product then give a fake copy of the product?
Darkmanafest. Where does it say it's fake ?
I think you need to watch the video again.
Darkmanafest. I did ? That's why I asked you the time slot?

This is a hustle, not a scam
What's the difference? I think that the fake crowd part is "hustling" and the false advertising "bait and switch" of perfumes is a scam. Then again when I think of "hustling" on the streets I think of generally illegal activity, scam or not.
This is perfectly legal, which part of it is"false advertising"?, notice he doesnt mention perfume's brand, all he says is its price in online store which might as well be true, you are getting sold like that all the time and you don't even notice it, but whenever someone is upfront about it, you call em scammers.. which is not true.. all this dude did is he brought ecommerce to city streets
you think these timers on a product page, reviews or limited stock, are all legit, same with prices.. most stuff you buy online is sold on 10x+ mark up simply by slapping brand's logo on it.. HiSmile for example.. they are selling their shit for $100 and it costs them less than $5 per product and the reason why they are getting shitload of sales is because they've created high perceived value
ZOOTROPOLIS!
Philippe Paul kind of a scam
Philippe Paul bullshit
I learned something today from that salesman.
durkadur27 jep and it works in everything , Cars , pets , clothes , Friends , everything
Brian the whole scam is about making the people feel they need it and are doing a perfect trade because others are buying it too.
Thats just the way our commercials Work. You see in a commercial how a father is driving a Van with his Family and having Fun in it.
Thats all what it needs to make you feel you need exactly that car for your family.
His scam isnt a real scam , because noone gets stolen or betrayed, just encouraged to buy stuff they probably dont need
durkadur27 the fact that he isn't giving you the perfume he said he was in the deal makes him a scammer
PretentiousRed Well... seeing how the creator of this video is clueless about what is a scam or not, I'm pretty sure he just thought that he's getting something expensive for free, when instead nothing of the kind was promised.
I remember deciding to get a Gucci perfume from these places. I opened the box and it was Winnie The Pooh perfume. 3 years later,i still use the perfume
LOL! How does it smell? Like honey?
Where's the scam? I must have missed it
If I sell you shit land with the promise of a nice house for free and you go to your new shit property and the house is a cheap cardboard imitation of the house I promised I bet you'd feel scammed then.
Not saying the people aren't stupid for falling for it but scamming stupid people is still scamming.
Your fault for buying and not inspecting the property first case in point with buying this guys products
The fact that he hires people to "buy" is not the scam
the scam is the fact that he gives products that are not the real in the packages
Robert McCandless he gave them different brands
He's just a hustler that's all
not even that just smart marketing
Angelica Sanchez still good to be aware of this.
ikr
Facts
a real nigga
This guy knows how to hustle. No scam here.
siggsboy Cheap* perfume. Cheap, low quality perfume is still perfume.
Advertised under big brand names and pretending they are the real ones
fruitfly77 yeep he's just mad
The perfume is fake
They put 200 dollar price tags on a 20$ perfume then say I’ll give you 5for the price of 1
Hes a hustler . Smart business man. 👏👏👏👏
@@rango9404 no he's right. This is a tactic to sell your goods. Like a hassle. Although it's not proper, its still a smart technique.
2:55 It's true !! In a wedding nobody goes to the buffet until one person breaks the ice !! Why is that ?? 🤔😂
"we're all sheep"
In my country, they'll be lining up or standing nearby already for the buffet..... even before the MC announces them that they can now take the meal they want
Reminds me of tests in HS
No one wants to stand up and turn it in until someone else does.
So true, son. Just like how when we're the first to enter one shop in a mall and then a whole bunch of sheeps comes in as well. Good psychology stuff mate
I’m usually the guy breaking the ice
Meh. It's not illegal and if you're stupid enough to think someone on Oxford Street is giving away free perfume then you paid £30 to learn a valuable life lesson.
You say that but how would you feel if an unsuspecting relative of yours came home with a Hugo boss bottle filled with scented piss lol
Honestly I'd feel the same.
Josh Pickles bait and switch is illegal. (advertising a bargain with the intention of selling consumers a different inferior or more expense product)
Pluto : But that wasn't what he did. That shop has been on Oxford Street for about 5 years now. It would've been closed down a long time ago if it were breaking the law. The police are all over illegal traders here.
Josh Pickles Thats exactly what he did. He was advertising if you buy one youll get one of these expensive perfumes free, but *switched* it for inferior ones. The host even says "you dont get the one he advertised." why its still open idk he prob pays the cops or mob off, whoever runs that neighborhood.
No scam he's actually wise on his words
It is clever marketing. Marketing is everywhere and hardly anyone calls it scam just because it is proven that sometimes it makes people buy things they would not buy otherwise. Seriously, if people want to buy perfume just because some random stranger is buying it I havee nothing against it.
How is that different from seeing ad with random celebrity using it or pretending to use it anyway?
NetAndyCz my wife bought same 3 free 1 with 20£ she says one has fragrance
NetAndyCz it's a scam if the products being marketed as legitimate are fake of which these products most probably will be.
I do not think that is the case here though. They are not giving away fake copies of branded perfumes.
NetAndyCz Oh they are for sure, these will be fake products of brand named products.
When he said the buffet thing I gained respect for him
?? who wouldn't want to be first at a buffet!!!!
Im always the first one in weddings buffet
If you're the first one in a queue, you're not in a queue
not really such big scam, its early marketing skills, i see no problem there, you are free to come or not,
if see more people makes you decide, then thats up to you, still free to do it or not.
can't blame on him, he just try to survive, if people is idiot, not his problem,
wallaguest1 It's false advertisement! Telling you it's one perfume then to take it home and find out its not, is a scam!
technically it is a scam though if he is claiming to be selling you a particular brand of perfume in a package deal and then gives you a totally different one. Its somewhat gray. The whole using fake people in the crowd though is perfectly whatever though
"he just try to survive" That's a really stupid statement. I guess everything is allowed then
Walla False advertising is still illegal. If I tell you I'm selling you Chanel Purfume, but hand you a bottle of "Bod" I think you'd be pretty pissed. haha
Walla Survival of the fittest.
I was mad until I heard his explanation. We are all sheep. Damn! he is telling the fucking true.
Nice username
He is being 100% honest tho
You get a sack of worthless perfumes for a lot of money.
He's just mad because this man makes his whole paycheck in one day
Qufox Or...because its dishonest
Used To Love You what's dishonest about it mate?
@@riche1601 advertising luxury brands and then giving fake ones that are probably half-filled with water.
@@MindfulMatters734 did you ever watch a commercial on TV? would you say they are honest? or just giving you exaggerated BS so you want to buy the product?
in what was is this any different than a TV commercial?
it is just marketing
@@beepIL Do you mean those annoying infomercials? Commercials are more honest than those. They show their shit and usually don't lie about what it does. And they know consumers will either buy it or they won't. How do you even compare with this?
Wow, this Salesman kind of opened my eyes,
we really are sheep, this is not a scam, he is just doing business,
its not his fault if people buy into his marketing strategy
its a great skill he has
one of the fake customer's jacket literally says "Perfume Promotion" XD
Lamfooooooooo
@Jest Lockhearts hm, where can I get one of those "perfume promotion" vests, I heard it's a luxury brand. 🤔
I lol'd when he was asking the guy if he worked for the store... he did clearly have the perfume company all over his jacket.
Not a scam, just energetic presentation. This happens in infomercials, car lots, commercials.
I think it's a respectable strategy lol
You respect liars? So do you respect politicans with their ''strategy'' to mislead and steal from you..?
Mo Shak he never once lied tho? When confronted he told nothing but the truth
crip well it's not respectable. But it's a strategy which works well.
I think you meant to type the word "cuntish" instead of respectable bro... You're welcome.
Epiicy He sells cheap for expensive perfume...
Every business does this a little bit.
Ever notice how many cars are parked in front of mechanic workshops? They buy scrap cars to look busy.
Ever notice how restaurants try to sit the first customers near the windows and place fake reserved signs on further back tables so you won't sit there?
Dankus Memus Interesting shit, you should make a video about this phenomenon and let me know when it's up.
Dankus Memus wow I don't know if someone told you these things or you knew them by yourself... but in anycase what you said seems very intresting
Dankus Memus good observation mate, I always wondered abt reservation boards on tables:)
Dankus Memus yes sir. There’s even a app where store owners can pay people to make their store loook busy. Don’t believe your eyes
It is like he said people are sheep, this isnt a scam at all. He's just a great businessman.
As far as what youre saying though... I was a mechanic and we dont purchase scrapped cars to look busy. That would actually hurt the shop, customers usually want their car quick and not waiting for long periods of time. Most mechanic shops have contracts with tow truck companies, they bring us all the wrecked cars. we fix them and give them a commission for the customer they brought us. Totaled cars(scrapped) cars obviously cant be fixed but we use them as a "parts yard." for customers to stop by and purchase a used part at a discount. Thats why theyre there not because were trying to seem busy.
I guess i wear many hats because im a chef now, and the reason why servers put the reservation sign on the end tables is because usually that means its at a slow peak and she/he wants to keep the customers nearby to her/him in one section(the front) to better serve them instead of having to travel longer walking spaces to and from each groups of customers. And yes its always the front in those slow peak times because thats where we greet the customer as they enter. Not because were trying to look busy.
Thats bloody genius actually. Not a scam tho.
It's a scam.
They’re selling perfume that was not advertised. It’s a scam.
As a lot of other people are saying - I definitely like that the guy was straight-up and honest about it. 👏🏻
He's a hustler, yes. But He is not scamming anyone. He is not forcing anyone to buy. It is totally up to the person if he/she wants to buy something. All companies that sells something does something similar. Its nothing new.
of course he's a scammer, he said that the perfume was christian dior
The marketing skill by this guy is brilliant, love how he explained it
This guy's been in a few other videos on the perfume scam on youtube!
oh,hi larry
2:58
Sad truth is that’s true
I ain't got no problem being the first person up to get food..... first pick of everything and no waiting.
LOL Fair call
The Prodigy fucker you tricked me! I thought there was a hair on my screen.
Not a scam... it's marketing, same as advertising. You make the big football players wear your gear tomorrow the kids want the same.
It is not the same, you have to pay the big footballer way more.
He is promising them a bag of expensive name brand perfumes with every purchase of the $30 perfume. The bag they get is full of fake perfumes. That's the scam. His use of fake customers isn't that's just how he's luring people into the scam.
Ain't nothin wrong with this, it's as much of a sales tactic as fake customer reviews that just about every company generates to increase sales. At the end of the day the choice is completely up to the consumer.
The scam isn't the use of fake customers the scam is that the name brand perfume he's advertising and enticing customers with is fake.
Thanks for doing this m8 those cheeky scammers are taking the piss out of the general public..
I see no problem with what they're doing. If it seems too good to be true, it almost certainly is... in other words, if you're stupid enough to fall for this, you deserve it.
I like him . he's a good business man and a great lier!!

That made me laugh out looooo uuuddd
he's right. it isn't illegal. he's doing his job well.
Tactical_ Dan117 giving fake products away a'int illegal?
Very cleaver idea not gunna lie
This store is Approved by Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II. That’s why this store is never shutted down.
You are the BEST ... I wish I saw your videos before ... Thanks for lighting our darkness in life for other countries and cultures ... you are the BEST ...
Haha, good old times :) i remember falling for this scam about 20 years ago when i was in london at oxford street. It was not only perfumes but also bunch of electronics (cameras, lenses, watches and so on). I paid about 150 punds (about 200 euros i believe) for a bag full of junk lol the stuff looked amazing in the store and even when u got to try it, but what they put in the bag was not the same. I felt really bad for a few days and embarrassed but turned that feeling around as a life lesson. Today i think that was one of the best things that has ever happened to me, it thought me there are no free lunches in the world and to be very skeptical. Ive since encountered many many scam attempts but that london memory has saved me every single time. If i ever met the guy who scammed me back then, i would shake his hand and thank him from the bottom of my heart :D
always try to take whatever’s left of the positive from a negative situation and you’ll make progress
My grandma used to give me free lunch...
C Black same
geez talk about stockholm syndrome...
Great story mate. Ive always been interested in that scam. Saw it in Camden once. For me it was a lot worse than these guys, there was a lot more money involved and they would close the doors after getting everyone instead for the sale. I also got ripped off buying electronic equipment from a friend when I was at school. And yes it was a great lesson.
Reminds me of the intro of Lock Stock and Two Smoking Barrels 😂
I wouldn’t even call him a scammer. Just a store owner who probably has a business degree or just knows how to play the game
That buffet comparison is hilariously true
We are all sheep mate... says the wolf in sheep's clothing
Nuh we're all sheep maaa aaaatee
He not lieing we r sheeps even in high schools one person comes in with a brand next you know everyone got it that's why smoking is a problem we're just sheep
Zonated Glint I saw a high school fight video where EVERY girl in the video had uggs style shoes.
1221Ralph that's What I mean my schools the same with rainbow stansmiths
Zonated Glint sheep, just sheep. Unfortunately I have a cousin that's a prime example. Make that 2 cousins.
1221Ralph my sister won't buy a pair of shoes if they are not branded and vans they r the worst plain black shoes with there name are like 40 pounds
lying*
After 3 years, this guy still does it. There was new footage from reddit with the same guy.
He answered every one of his questions with good answers.
Quite the wise guy I guess.
this is not a scam lol.... this is how to be smart
I really respect the guys honesty. It's not really a scam. Scammy seeming but in the end it's no worse than selling something for 19.99$ make people think they are getting a better deal
Can’t believe this still goes on
WANTED: "crowd encouragers". Apply within....
That's good Business strategy
He’s reasonable and told ya straight up, that’s how business works and that’s how you sell.
that guy straight up teaching life lessons
At this point it's up to people's intelligence , the man was just doing business, it may look dishonest, but it's within the law.
He's just taking advantage of the system flaws.
and that is all okay? lmao
jezioo uh huh
Jayden Wazura guess it comes down to the individuals morals.. just showing what kind of person you are(individually)
jezioo it’s being smart and getting ahead of the curve, not his fault the customers are idiots and can’t see through this shit.
Jayden Wazura not everyone has the same opportunities to evolve a healthy crititism. Hence it comes down to the morals of the indidvidual to exploit others.
Its just fine! Its called f*cking marketing.
Buddy kept it real, cant deny that
I met him today and he was a nice guy and is not a scammer he's a hustler
He is right about one thing! We (all are sheep...🐑
But, IS IT “REAL PERFUME?”
He is correct, seeing some people in a line/que gets extra attention.
He makes a good argument. I was mad until he used the buffet analogy
He's still doing this haha. Saw him selling perfume like a month ago in London.
Hes operating out of 25 birmingham new street right now
Crowd encouragers are fine..albeit a "little" dishonest. But filling brand name boxes with cheap knockoff perfume is clearly a scam.
SpencerFcp yeah and most of the people in the comments don't understand that

We got a pathetic generation coming up. "Future leaders" what a mess this is going to be.
"In life mate we're all sheep you, me, we're all sheep" Very true. Very true.
I've come across one of these that had actually broken into an empty shop on Oxford Street. The landlord then has to go to court to get them out, costing thousands.

" we are now selling heroin we are selling perfume "
Totally not suspicious
“We are not selling heroin mate, we are selling perfume” 😂
At least he’s honest.
well said, all sheep
I beg to differ, in a buffet line I would always go first... unless the host says ok LADIES FIRST!
but if there isn't then I'd hit it first :D
It's not a scam, it's a business and you have the right to buy it or not.
He reminded me of a Ricky Gervais character at the end lol
WE ARE ALL SHEEPS.....
sheep*
nice try bud.
They are now doing the same scam on the Blackpool prom opposite Central Pier
At least he's honest.
That salesman in the beginning was awsome haha
U should just leave the business man alone. He seems to be smart and have him a good legal way to sell his stuff. Would be better if u minded ur own damn business or maybe try coming up with ur own business idea instead of hating on others ideas
My friend called me a duchbag for agreeing with this 😂😕
I'd just like to point out that he does have a business idea. After all, didn't you write this comment after watching his video?
Smart business man. I have nothing against him
I honestly like the seller he wasnt really lying and he did have a point about not always wanting to be the first ina buffet
man i used to love this show
Ha, they did nothing wrong and everybody knows it.
Respect the hustle... hate the game not the player

Fucken piece of shit degenerate trash
Actually the part with the pretended costumers, is a very common technique in all big Casinos in the world. You get to a table of Pocker or Rollet table and usually one or two of the players at that table are “employees”, not counting the waitresses and dealers.
This is a common thing most companies do with mass selling or openings a new store. Every company does this
well!!..its not a scam though.its actually a...kind of playing with minds of the people.and i can bet that you would do the same if you were on his place.
How is it not a scam to promise a product then give a fake copy of the product?
It is not a fake perfume.
They are smart they aint really scamming
How is it not a scam to promise a product then give a fake copy of the product?
During my couple years in college (uk college: pre university), i was part of a society where we were fundraising money for a charity. We held a chocolate raffle during an open day for the college inside, where we had a big array of chocolates including boxes of them. While we were doing our thing, another "stall" was set up at the opposite side of the walkway, which was providing information about university and the options they had. The couple guys running the other stall seemed to be quite shrewd as i got to know know them over the day. He eventually asked me about how the raffle was going and i told him its going as expected with lots of chocolate being won and our boxes too. So he told me that if i wanted to continually make money from the chocolate raffle, i should take out the raffle for the big chocolates, so they aren't won but stay on display to attract more customers. I ended up not doing that but he told me how everyone does it in these raffle type events. Come to think of it, there is no promise of anyone being able to win that big prize, only chocolate, so it makes sense how people can get away with that without lying or breaking any rules/laws.
I’ve legit seen this guy so many times before can’t forget his voice and flow of talking he just gets people zoned in and to spend and spend
