Attempted Scam caught in London City in Broad Daylight on our first day of honeymoon!

This happened near Kensington Palace opposite the University. They impersonated police officers. We are from Singapore.

    @@okok72277 I have been to countries where the tourists are rare and the locals are curious. That’s fine. What I am talking about is the need to raise your level of suspicion. You don’t need to accuse anyone or avoid anyone. There might be a bunch of people helping or watching or pointing you in the right direction. But when someone emerges from the crowd, speaks your language (and probably half a dozen languages, not that there’s anything wrong with that!) and wants to slide smoothly into your daily activities, just be aware. This person has targeted you. Your first reaction is to be friendly and trustworthy. Be that way, but not blindly.

    A tourist wearing a business suit that’s def the giveaway right there. I’ve traveled all over the world and I’ve only worn a suit for two weddings one in London and one in Cebu other than that I wore my everyday clothes when sight seeing. So this man in the suit is defiantly up to something fishy, never trust a stranger taking too much interest in you and asking too many questions like where you’re from, how’d you get here, where you’re staying, where you’re planning to go next etc. I’ve had multiple scammers try to corner me while abroad but to no luck on their side I’d just keep walking and show little to no attention to them.

    No one approaches anyone without an agenda in mind. Always have an extremely high suspicion level with strangers no matter the nationality, if you're abroad, even if you think theyre the least bit trust worthy. I actually thought this was going to be a pick pocket scenario but instead it was a poor identity theft scheme. If you are abroad you absolutely need to be aware of your surroundings because many bad things can happen.

Also we were looking for building work at our home and we found a Romanian guy that was posing as an Italian guy. We found out he was Romania from his WhatsApp status LOL and that idiot wanted us to pay 40% up front and said he will leave his tools at our home. He was potentially looking at a £1400 upfront payment and thought leaving a few paintbrushes and half empty paint cans would suffice. LOL

    If you are a tourist, this is my advice: 1. Tell the police in civilian clothes, that you are a tourist and do not know about police procedures or how IDs look like. 2. Tell them, you call 911 to check their names on the ID if they are real. 3. Then call 911 and check it (at least 911 can tell you if there are any unmarked police units in the area and send uniformed support in case). Normal police would understand your worries. Criminals would run or harass you. Of course, this only works in stable countries. In Mexico, you put a 20 or 50 $ bill in your passport and do not care if it is the real police or some armed gang member.

    I speak 6-7 languages conversationally. I know very basic greetings and phrases in several other languages as well. So when I met a pair of guys who told me they were Southern Italian (clearly looked Romanian or Bulgarian…), I instantly greeted them with “Ciao amico, piacere, come stai?” They could not look more helpless. They uttered a pitiful ciao in response and I knew from that moment these guys were amateurs. On the other hand, I’ve met scammers who are extremely talented linguistically and can speak several languages almost fluently. Which makes them so dangerous, and as a polyglot myself, be skeptical when someone can speak that many languages. Haha

When they saw i was watching them they got pissed and told me to fuck off. When i replied in Dutch they had no clue what i was saying. They sounded East European. I called the police who had a team of undercover cops in the neighbourhood. (A pickpocket team) They were there in 5 minutes and caught the scumbags.

I wasn’t close with him on that level or anything , but the Fact that he wants to convince me of his loyalty when we don’t even have a history gave me liar and scammer vibes. The fact that the fake police officer says “ you don’t have to worry” means, you gotta worry.

Nobody should be allowed to come to England, walk the streets and prey on the public and other tourists. Not saying its okay for English to do it..but visiting another Country is a privilege not a right, and should be a privilege you don't get to enjoy anymore when you abuse it.

    A Romanian thief who impersonated a police officer to prey on tourists has been jailed for 10 months. Chirica Dragnea, 52, was sentenced on Friday at the Old Bailey for this part in an organised gang that engineered an elaborate scheme for conning visitors to the City of London, the Square Mile's police force said. City of London Police said Dragnea, along with an accomplice, would pose as a tourist and a police officer to lull their victims into a false sense of security. The ruse involved the fake tourist asking an unsuspecting member of the public for directions on a map, providing an opportunity for the impersonated police officer to intervene, the force said. The fake officer would then take advantage of the real tourist's unfamiliarity with British police procedures to begin searching them for counterfeit money. During the search, the crooks took items including cash, identity cards and bank cards, and sometimes even demanded the victim's bank card pin. Police said Dragnea was arrested last year by genuine officers after being found in possession of an "official-looking" ID card in a black flip wallet. He was dressed smartly, and with an accomplice dressed like a tourist with a fake camera around his neck.
