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: ua-cam.com/video/5SUi1iF7mZA/v-deo.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!
Good Job!!
Where are they from?
Out here in California we have Armenians scammers
Good job. Thank you.
Exposing scammers should be a genre at this point, it's such an acceptable act of heroism and anyone can do it
It is a genre…. Are you new? UA-cam has tons of channels going after all kinds of scammers.
@@jamesbizs yes, im very much new to the anti scamming genre
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
@@knuthamsun6106 you mean gypsies? the world will be better off without them, and the innocent ones? its just for the greater good
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.
My dude out here with the real investigative journalism!
No,
that's activism.
It’s investigative Journalism because he had to find the scammers, get to know their modus operandi and then confront the perpetrators. Activism would be just protesting against the problem, not exposing it and responding to the situation..
@@paulsz6194 right !!
@@paulsz6194 You´re right the first part is investigative Journalism, but as soon as he steps in and tell the victims they should go to the police he is an activist. Journalists are not stepping in/ calling the police/ arrest perpetrators ... And acitivism is way more than protesting. But its not bad, its just a question of definition.
@@MrMagi777 you raise a good point that I overlooked…. Perhaps we can all him a crusader for justice or a vigilante ?
Well done exposing these scumbags. It's a shame they can't be deported back home or imprisoned.
The EU has fucked you. Here in America, our crooked ex-vice president is taking his orders from his communist overlords. Hopefully Trump will win again, complete the wall, and begin deporting invaders by the millions. If Trump is elected and doesn't do anything, there will be a lot of people who will give up all faith that the government will do anything to fix the problem, and as a result, they may wind up taking matters into their own hands.
Jail or deport for scamming and stealing? NO! That would be racist. We Europeans are better than that. We can fix them.
Be glad You're not a German. Otherwise everyone would scream "Nazi" at You for Your Comment lol
@@M1U5T0N3 I'm glad that I am German and that I'm English, and I'm also glad that my ancestors from both of those countries came to North America before the United States was founded, because if I said these things in Germany or England, where free speech does not exist, I'd likely wind up in jail.
@@ICDUMPEPL 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.
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.
That's somewhat funny because in Turkey, I believe in Istanbul, scams and pickpocket against tourists is quite high.
Respect to Turkey 🇹🇷, I really admire that saying, and I will try to remember it 👍..
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.
“The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing.” Thank you, Honest Guide for doing SOMETHING.
He Does a lot. The police should cooperate with him.
That's my issue with organised crime and the police in london. They do nothing.
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 🤷😂
-Edmund Burke
Lol someone is being paid to comment this cause it’s everywhere lately
I love how scam vengeance is becoming a genre on UA-cam and its happening at the scammers expense.
With high quality cameras constantly available, scammers will have more problems than ever before 😅
Certainly makes life harder for them, and the corrupt cops they have on their payroll!
You say that, until one of these youtubers ends up dead because they interfered with the wrong people.
@@jays7761 isnt that why people hide their identity
Literally the best vids online !!
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 and incredibly well produced and presented. Keep fighting the good fight. Greetings from Spain
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...
good point !
No completely no true shout make public aware never trust one person it's so stupid idea in Czech 🤷🤷🤷
@@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.
@@drstihl2007 and it also works in management only one person should be responsible for something.
This guy has a way straightest spine when compared to the spineless prime time journalists in my country who only bow down to lick boots of thieves.
Yeah, Russia
@@marcpl19 same in turkey
Yeah the kosher global media does that in every country.
@@marcpl19 the whole world
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
If they ever had UA-cam awards, i'd vote for this channel. The editing the writing the camera , all great. Keep up the good work bros
Kudos for your work! I don't think people understand what a massive risk you are taking with this, and want you to know that some of us understand and appreciate it. Stay safe!
It’s not a massive risk at all. Scammers are not physically dangerous at all. Thieves are cowards
@@hmu05366 Lucky for you. I've seen some in the US stab people who didn't pay up, take their wallet, and walk off.
You are a legend Janek. Thanks for going through all that trouble, risks and hassle to protect people from these scumbags.
he puting his life in danger lol
I like how you do all the work, and the cops just say "bring us the victims now".
About the cops: It's most likely to threaten the victims and make sure nothing happens to their 'benefactors'. From experience.
They r dirty, he is wasting his time
@@steveescher1554 LOL someone's a scammer
They do need the victims, otherwise all you have is video of something happening with no narrative around it. It’s how laws work.
Hahahaa
Guys, you are doing a great job! Wish to have more people like you in this world!
You have a great heart, sir. Please keep up the excellent work. I went to Prague before and it is a beautiful city. So I would recommend anyone to visit, don't be put off by these dumb scammers. They do not represent Prague or the Czech people in general. Shame police can't do more.
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.
paitballing them on a moped with a buddie would great justice to these scumbags
If anyone tries this, they would be killed. I don't think this channel is run by normal good samaritans. They have an ace up their sleeve.
Janek had been doing this for years, he talked to multiple Prague's mayors. Im sure he knows his stuff and knows how to take precautions.
@@paveldrumev2117 He probably needs to have some prior job experience.
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
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!!!!!
I just feel bad for "guy #2"
*Everybody* else got a nick-name..
@@goldcd Well, his original nickname was "the shitter" but that didn't go over well with test groups...
This was awesome. I love how sophisticated this whole production was.
Mad props! Amazing work and really helping people.
There's no way these scammers are not known to police. Most likely the local cops allow this to take place and take a cut of the proceeds.
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.
@@dansmithbyu1784 U have right but still we want press on them. Its so simple. But because of our politicians its more more dificult. we care bcs we want safe and peace for every one in Prague .
u have absolutely right. we press on these MF but leberals politics saw only their rights. What about victims rights ???
The problem is also with the authorities there. They don't take the scammers seriously and they play along. I wouldn't doubt that they're even bribed by the scammers.
I thought you gonna add something new
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
its not a priority with the politicians and administrators
It's a sheet nation.
@@pentrudreptate3342 Who, the gang?
This is how real heroes look like. You are the best! Thank you.
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 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
The scammers bail was $200. Scammer: "do you take expired rubbels?"
GREAT WORK! Thank you so much for this perfect work and all the best from Salzburg
Thanks for your amazing work dude!
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.
@@pterekcp1595 They should obtain gun license!
@@Umarlak101 Not all countries are the US :p You can't walk around with a gun in most of Europe, and neither should you be allowed to imo
@@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.
@@mrjollamoe lmao you can do that in czechia. go spout your 5 iq politics somewhere else
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. And I also watched the video of you interviewing a government official.
Government has different goals ......to make Czech poorer and poorer .....have a huge gap between us and Germans
@@jerryczech953 that’s the entire purpose of the EU - German servitude
Government do jackshit. Time to get rid of them, frankly.
... also add that Cops are over worked with useless byrocracy and laws do not work and public persecution is not that good payment wise.
@@jerryczech953 ... And then for "no apparent" Reason will vote someone in office..
What a great Format!!
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 really hope you guys stay safe and sound from these guys as they can be pretty dangerous. Wish you and Honza best of luck :)
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!!!
Keep up the good work. Now we need more people exposing the big businesses that are scamming us as well.
I have watched many of your videos.
My girlfriend is Slovakian so we do go to Prague and because of you we are extremely vigilant.
Thanks buddy and keep on doing the good job, awesome.
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 ,
you did a great job!!! scammers should be exposed!!!
You may not be able to get rid of the scammers, but, you can educate the masses on how to avoid the scams and that is what you are doing. Thank you.
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
You make a difference. Hats off to you and the crew. These low-life predators deserve to be exposed, arrested, and in some cases removed from society. Your efforts are appreciated.
He's a geek
not a big sin to fool tourists full of money a little bit if you live in a third world and have other options like working hard for 500€ a month, that just brings back balance. this geezer is a punk, trying to make youtube coins exploiting the situation, can film something more horrible to let the world know. Hope these "serious people" gna find out about the youtube snitch and give him a good lesson of investigation journalism in one of those little dark yards around 😈
@@dmitrysec4062 well u can let it happen in your country but fuck of from ours bit**, and also, never come to Czechia or iam gonna knock u out. have a nice day
Thank you for doing what you do I've been watching you for the past couple years and really appreciate you!
Wish there were more like you. Fellow Czech from the States
Love your work. Thanks for making the world a better place.
NEVER tolerate criminals. As a citizen, YOU are more powerful than they are; YOU, with the public and the police, can expose them, prosecute them and put them in jail or drive them out.
You and Honza are very brave to confront and expose a criminal gang like this. Please be careful!
Advice for everyone: Don't change money on the street!
Very Very well done! It´s amazing the amount of effort You put n behalf of others! Chapeau!
Dude this is awesome! 😂 be safe!
I'm from Brazil, I really admire your work and your courage. I've been following your videos for some time now and I really enjoy every time a scammer is unmasked and arrested.
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 😂
Awesome Work man. Bravo 👏👏👏
I've just been to Prague, a lovely city, but I really appreciate what you are doing. I've met a guy with tired look wanting me to take a picture of him in kind of weird place in a shadow of a building, so I just walked away having your videos in mind.
You guys are angels! You're literally risking your lives, getting spit on, kicked and you guys still continue. I'll definitely make sure to forward this video to as many people as I can so you guys can get more recognition.
Why you think that they do this one word, ego they are just as bad they literally are doing this because they got trouble off these people therre ego is hurt so they gina make they're life hell they don't give a fuck about helping tourists its all fir UA-cam clout and ego revenge
Dont ever stop what u do. These scammers need to go out of business.
these scam-bags really need to get off the turf
You’re legend to expose them 😂!
Integrity level Max with this man 🤣🤣
Thanks guys, you have done very important work!
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
Thank you for making tourism a positive experience. I was aware of everything while I was in Prague two months ago because of your channel.
Big fan, i came and visited the country with out any problem, thank you man for the heads up and tips❤
Just came across this video. And it was amazing. Keep it up
I enjoyed every second of it. Give them what they deserve. Your moral fiber and strength is unmatched.
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
Thank you for spreading the awareness and fighting for the safer world! Please be very careful though!!
Great work guys!
Good job man, be safe. Criminals don't always act the way you may expect!
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.
You’re laughing
A real hero! Good stuff man!
Love your programmes, be safe out there.
I get worried for you in these situations -- stay safe and THANK YOU!
Excellent exposure. Only this type of continued coverage will make people aware and help cities get rid of these scams. Great job.
Keep up the good work. I admire your fearlessness.
You're doing very good job 👍 your video is very useful for everyone 👏👏👏👏
The guy at 6:08 is a Romanian gypsy. He spoke romanian right there and something tells me the others are also gypsies scamming people in Prague. Thank you for everything you're doing for the tourists and don't ever stop.
Gypsy is not Romanian , that's why they are called Gypsies .
@@adriangold3503 Not Romanian but they have Romanians ID! 😂
I don't understand why they don't want to live a honest life. Rroma behave the same in Romania too (majority of them unfortunately)
@@CRP17 What do you really expect from people who most probably grew up on streets by collecting trash, stealing or begging??
@@ggoddkkiller1342 they get all the chances and possibilities to develop or educate but still deny or quit school...
Absolute respect to you for going after them.
Awesome production work.
I love these guys at the honest guide. They are fantastic at what they do.

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!
Great job. Great video!
Keep up the good work. We need to get these scammers!
That's so good well done mate 👏
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
Great work helping rid Prague of these criminals. Stay safe!
great job dude!
Thanks for all this 🙏
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!
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.

Love these exposure videos!!!
kind people like you are everywhere now. Thank you for everything you did to this world.
Great work.God bless you
Great work!!!
