“Bete, if you are done with the tour, can you please hand over the tickets to me? It is a waste thing for you anyways as you are exiting,” the uncle requested the man. However, he subtly declined his request and said that he is not interested in landing up in trouble. Also, there are CCTV cameras everywhere so he should be careful. “Sorry uncle, I don’t want to land in any trouble. Plus there are CCTVs everywhere so you must yourself be warned,” he wrote.

Further, he asked fellow Reddit users as to what they think of the incident.

Since being uploaded, the post has gone viral with multiple responses. One person wrote, “They might look like your typical unkill. But no. They’re scammers who try to sell these tickets to other unsuspecting tourists saying that it’s still valid and when they can’t enter they create a ruckus and refuse to give them their money back.” He further mentioned that this happens in Berlin too. Sharing a personal experience, he wrote, “I was approached by an Indian/Pakistani guy who was trying to sell me cheap tickets and while going out, we saw the same guy asking others for their paper tickets. One of our group member said he has an e-ticket so he left him alone.”

Another person wrote, “When I visited Paris, I was surprised to see so many Indians selling water/beer/souvenir/etc near tourist spots. These were young Indians who probably migrated recently because they weren’t able to speak French fluently. When they would see police nearby, they would move out quickly. Assuming that it was illegal to sell and/or they were illegal migrants.”

Have you ever had any such experience?
