So others like me don’t get scammed when I go on there. Why you so touchy about scams in your country???? Every country has them your not special. One day hung I don’t like about your country is your government sides with Hamas. A terorist group.
@protegelin. It is not about that. It is about being aware and learning. I don't think that tourist has a malicious intent by telling us about the scams. We understand that every person will take pride of their country. As they say: "Semangat nationalisma" - if I got that correctly. Every countries have their own form of scams. In California we are being scam by people from Nigeria, India, Russia (via phone and online), and by our local people. I work in technology and will always willing to learn about all scam techniques that are becoming increasing sophisticated. I want to learn as much as I can so that I don't be a victim and can also help me advise or alert others at my job. Same thing when I travel. Just a month ago I traveled to both Vietnam and Malaysia. I made sure I learn all the scam techniques being used in Vietnam since I have never been there before. I'm more familiar with Malaysia as I have traveled there many more times. A few years ago, I was at the Alor Star police station. I heard a heart ranching conversation of a lady that was scam by a local person pretending to be from their local bank. Unfortunately she fell for it and lost a lot of money. I was heart broken for her. Scam happens everywhere simply because in every country, you will find good and bad people. The important thing is for all of us to be educated about it.
KL is the only city where I've been hassled by fake monks. Apparently they were common in HK years ago but the CCP have made their lives a lot more difficult. Never had any problems from street scammers in Penang, Ipoh or Melaka and I refused to leave the hotel in Johor.
Another type of scam is that someone come to you telling you that he had been pick-pocketed and lost all his money and ask you to give some money for him to go back to his hometown and some meal money. I met quite a few of them
Always ask if those scammers are locals or not..locals would rarely show themselves doing scam mostly online or phone..those daring ones usually foreigners
I’m very suspicious of everyone. I no longer answer the phone and distrust all emails. As for random people intruding on my day in public - I’d just say “yes I know I am - I can spot scammers a mile away” Have a good day!
The first scam ("Lucky Man") that you mentioned has been going on since the 1990s. I've encountered this twice in PJ. Both times they end up asking for some money. Since it happened to my brother-in-law before and he told me about it, I was prepared. I listened through their stories and politely said no when they asked for money.
You know, some yrs ago almost no heard of scammers. After influx of foreign students esp frm Africa countries..then it started. Nowadays the were rumours saying local people also involved..and hundrefs of million lost..this was really bad and shameful..should not hsppen in Malaysis
I happens everywhere. Before I started traveling I remember getting emails from Nigerian royalty asking for my help moving their money. All I had to do was provide them with my banking details and I would make millions. That scam isn't too popular now but I still see it occasionally.
Sadly scammers both online and via telephone or on the streets are foreigners coming to Malaysia and doing these scams on their tourists visa and then overstaying. Even beggars nowadays are foreigners too. some Malaysians are also involved in scamming by working for scammer but mostly online or telephone.
I remember first time i scammed by a Sikh fella from Bombay(he told).He gave me a small piece of paper and asked to write any type of flower... Then he rightly told me the name of the flower,and to my surprise it true... I gave him rm10....
😮 Yes , that's why all countries have their prisons , meaning that , all countries have their criminals & all countries have their mental hospitals , meaning that , all countries have to deal with their mentally unstabled people! Low crime does not mean no crime! Many beggers & petty thieves are from foreign countries to prey for their victims , taking advantage of the relative safety of the host countries like Singapore & Malaysia , even in Europe there are these pick-pocket groups operating in major cities & many are from other EU countries taking advantage of the host countries' relative safety! In Asian countries , there these groups using black magic hynopsis that can rendered the victims to withdraw money at the ATM to them just by talking to them , so always just say Thank You & Sorry have to rush & quickly walk away from well dress men or women asking or saying surprising things about us! Reciting a True Angel or God's Name at heart may lessen their black magic hypnosis! 🙏 Thank You So Much Sir for warning others while visiting KL , you're a Caring & Good Man , Sir! Stay safe , stay healthy & stay vigilant! 😊🙏🌷🌿🍎🍊🕯🌏✌💜🕊🇲🇾🇬🇧🇺🇸
Welcome to KL! Scams are every where, 🥕 I never open any emails like that . Travel safe, get google authentication, it's double protection for your channel
@@InternationalBigshot Google Authenticator was introduced by Google in 2010, a good 10 years before the technology industry finally start talking about securing accounts using using 2FA (2 Factor Authentication) or MFA (Multi-Factor Authentication). My work place finally got serious about all this starting in 2020. I was already using it a good 10 years before that.
No. I have worked in The UK and in several years of working there, I never saw these kind of scams at all and never 'Lucky man' scam. They are not so naive. And by the way, this UA-camr is an American. I have also worked in SIngapore and Malaysia. I had the China Buddhist monk scam AND the Lucky man cheats. I just ignore them and walk on. Silence is best. In KL I'd get Malaysian men, follow then walk into the place I'd be eating and a suspicious, local stranger would then enter my private space in the open cafeteria/restaurant/kopitiam, pull up a chair, light up a cigarette and ask me ''where are you from''. I knew this was another scam so I'd just say 'What do you want?!'' They usually leave quickly but pretend they were working for the local government in order to pretend they were not after money. I suspect they were trying to take me to a cheating scam bar like they do in Istanbul, Turkey.
Yes, bumped into this Indian guy by McDonald's Sect 14,came up to me, said he lost his wallet, needs some money to get back to KL, took out Rm 2 n pointed him to the bus stop, he turned around asked for Rm 20 to get a cab instead. I just turned around the other way n walked with him screaming in the background. There went a cup of nescafe tarik, 😢
Yes, I certainly get around don’t I? The India and about the next 5 or 6 that follow were recorded a few weeks or months ago. The Malaysia content is more up to date.
Another simple common scam is some one comes to u telling that he lost his purse, no money to go back, and will try to convince u to lend some money for transportation.
Why you come to Malaysia and talk about scams. I believe your country of origin had more scams.
So others like me don’t get scammed when I go on there. Why you so touchy about scams in your country???? Every country has them your not special. One day hung I don’t like about your country is your government sides with Hamas. A terorist group.
Why not. Malaysia is full of them.
@RobertRitchie-re5pt You are Absolutely correct...if Malaysia is so dangerously full of scam...why come here ?
@protegelin. It is not about that. It is about being aware and learning. I don't think that tourist has a malicious intent by telling us about the scams. We understand that every person will take pride of their country. As they say: "Semangat nationalisma" - if I got that correctly.

He is just trying to warn the people around. I don’t see what’s so bad about that

Thank you for the reminder.. Indeed many human that eat the other human

Locals backup foreigners
There are other scammers who look like locals (ethenic chinese), but are actually foreigners too. Safe travel.

i used to think those people getting scammed are so idiotically vulnerable, until i got scammed myself.
😂😂😂

@InternationalBigshot Now the Nigerians are involved in romance scams online. Many of them doing that from Malaysia as the internet is good.

@kakisport On the news recently are beggars from mainland communist China.

I met a scamber at KLIA2 said he miss his flight, can I help buy him a ticket to get to his country he doesn!t known anyone in this country
This scam also takes place at bus and train stations. Usually the scammers are drug addicts.
If this happens, ask him/her contact his/her embassy.
I remember first time i scammed by a Sikh fella from Bombay(he told).He gave me a small piece of paper and asked to write any type of flower...

It’s called Scamalaysia for a reason
I've never heard it called that.
NOT ONLY IN MALAYSIA BUT MANY MANY COUNTRIES IN SEA / ASIA/ UROPE ETC
That's obviously but he's telling about the ones in Malaysia because he is in Malaysia.
Don't trust anyone if they something offer/request - ignore/just go.
As long you are not greedy! Not a single scam will work on it!
Avoid walk about at Nite please.. STAY IN DOOR AT NITE..

Urine bag attached to stomach....they reach rural area which I met couple of them....😂😂
Good info.
Happens in UK too. It could be anywhere on this planet. Am not surprise.

Must be the guy telling you are lucky man he is from India

You forgot one important message from your mother. "Don't talk to strangers".
and phone calls too
Scammer exists in most big or main City, centre of tourist attraction.
I respect you. Thank you for teaching
Don't answer the phone - call back with different phone number
Age old scams, just for dummys.
Been bitten once... hopefully never again 😅
Tragic
Indian singh
Yup. Especially that person came from India.
Yeah lor....My wife Visa Card billed in India and my wife have ever step foot in India.
Korang ni tak yah apologetic sangat, ni cara dia buat content untuk dapatkan view, nengokla dia baru ada berapa subscriber😉😆
Don't reply any call or message from unknown
I don’t understand with your video, next 3 days you are in India than Kuala Lumpur than India again
Yes, I certainly get around don’t I? The India and about the next 5 or 6 that follow were recorded a few weeks or months ago. The Malaysia content is more up to date.
Another simple common scam is some one comes to u telling that he lost his purse, no money to go back, and will try to convince u to lend some money for transportation.
No worries. It's just SCAMMER VS SCAMMER video 🤣
Wow. Scammer's video. No worries. You'll get paid by viewer's subscribers 💰
U are not happy
How do you know?
I got scammed by a Malaysian in Canada.
@@RobertRitchie-re5pt exactly on point...far more scams in Canada/USA than the country that ranked highly for retirement in SE Asia. Can't agree more.
Buktikan dia warga Malaysia?,macam mana kamu tahu dia warga Malaysia?.
