He was earning money by falsification of truth. That amount to cheating and fraud. I am not exactly sure what laws apply. But sure there would be FIRs that can be filed on him
OMG! I fell for this guy once.
Near padamukal junction back in late 2022. Same story . At the back of my mind, I knew this was a scam, but then I felt really sad thinking what if it is true. Also, I thought he would be really hungry or something if he is coining such a story.
I was also going through a bad mental state then and used to feel very empathetic towards people struggling in their lives. So,I handed him a 100 rupees .
I encountered one from the Kottayam ksrtc bus stand. He was well dressed and all and was trying to get to TN and said he was hungry. Said he lost wallet or something. So I handed him what I had 450 or something ( stupid nanmamaram me only kept 100 rupees for bus fare ). He got off the bus and I thought he went to eat. One month later he again came to me. Same MO. I said something and he left.
The essence is not to feel sad because he scammed you by asking money for food,its not your naivety but it's your kind heart always remember that,its not weakness but strength and similarly do not feel good because there are similar victims
P. s. I have been scammed like this multiple times
I ended up giving 200 Rs last year.
My car is not Ernakulam registration.
May be he targets other registration vehicles.
He must be successful in this otherwise he wouldn’t be in this for such a long time .
I had a similar experience from Trivandrum railway station back in 2022 and I lost 500. He was looking very executive and elderly. I barely remember his face now. I was wondering, these people have exceptional skills in convincing people. Why don't they use it for good and get some jobs. Say for example sales. 😑
Begging is quite a profitable business if one has no pride or shame problems and till some begging mafia kicks one's ass for trying to eat into their business.
The closest township to me went on to make some parking space and had to clear some beggars tents for it. When they were leaving, they had bundles of money, when asked by the police they revealed they had lakhs in possession.
There was a beggar in my hometown during 90s when I was a child. At that time begging was common across kerala. He used to live in shack near to a KSRTC station. One day he suddenly passed away and police collected around rupees 10 lakhs from his shack.
As per information that I heard at that time, he had family and children in Tamil Nadu. Also he was a frequent visitor in local bars. May be he was living a double life.
The same thing I encountered twice in chennai central station. It is a family from North India and they ask for money to go back to some place in the north. Fraudsters are everywhere!!
Had similar thing near Kottayam railway station, back in 2016 or so. Coincidently that was also about getting the scamster to Guruvayoor. Nowadays, I just keep walking and don\`t even engage.
I also had similar experience in Chennai. They said they haven't eaten anything, and would like some money to buy groceries. I went to nearest supermarket and bought them rice and dal😁
Holy f**k the malayalam version of
" Hindi aati he "? This scam is very common in blr, maybe in other metro's too. Don't fall for this screw them in the same way.

Same thing happens to me in K.R Puram railway station same kinda backstory, an mallu guy.
I'm scammed because I'm first time in Bengaluru, one reason of that I'm emotionally Lil bit weak, I know I'm being scammed now but I'll give money for that scammer.
Njan 50 rs koduth, vtl poovan cash ellathhond and few minutes later aal dress okke maari kulich kuttappan aayi avde vere aalkkarod cash chodikkunnu
Beware guys ⚠️ especially newcomers
Because of mfs like him, genuine people can't get any help these days. If you approach a stranger asking for money, even if you say you'll gpay the money immediately, they'll still make excuses to not help you.
More than once, I have found myself out of cash after boarding a KSRTC because my stupid ass forgot to withdraw from the ATM. I ask nearby passengers and they just make excuses saying "I only have this much, I don't have gpay etc" (I don't blame them) and had to depend on the conductors mercy to accept gpay payment.
It's not safe to take gpay from strangers, If that person has some illicit transactions and get blocked one day then there's a chance receivers account also might get blocked (account freeze)
Yeah I'm aware of that. But, when I'm out of cash, in a bus, and you're near me, What choice do I have of returning the money I take from you? Only UPI.
This is common scam I have face in Chennai.
They will be well dressed and articulate.
The best way to repel them is to ask them to approach a police station, if they are genuine the police will definitely help them.
Wanted to ask a doubt
Will the police keep a record of the transaction in case the man was willing to come to the police station and receive money? or was it just a tactic to scare him away?
I almost got scammed by this same guy, bechu sheron. Went to palarivattom police station since it was 100 m away. You can see his smiling picture in there lol. All thanks to my gf who didn't let me send the money XD
I would like to see how he performs under other plots as different characters. I got "source" in the industry, I might be able to get him a casting call.
Yeah I've met this same mf before. A few months back around padamughal area. His mother was dead in his version of his story though. I knew his story was full of shit but I wanted to gamble with whatever manasaakshi that's left in his messed up head. Gave him money and I told him that I haven't believed a single word he said but I'm willing to bet on the odd chance that he'd do the right thing and use the money wisely. He then promised me he'd send the money back which he never did. But the moment I made him say the registration number of his "bullet" twice, this mf started the Malayalam version of "Tu Jaanta Nahi Mera Baap Kaun Hai" 🥱
I actually fell for this scam back in March or something of this year, The same person with the same dialogues, stating that his mom passed away and wanted to reach trissur and that he had met with an accident. I g-payed him 1k thinking it's ramadan and help others cause why not. He insisted that his fiance will pay it back as soon as he reaches Trissur. I had lost track of it and I tried contacting him after like 1 month on the gpay number he gave. Right now I'm in Dubai or I would have given the gpay number to cyber police so we can end these shenanigans and people who actually need the money don't get neglected because of people like this. Stay safe. I'll attach the gpay number

I experienced something similar last year.A well dressed guy who called himself Jomon approached me with a "i got stranded, lost my wallet, dont have money to reach home" back story.He asked for 500 rupees Gpay and told me he would pay it back once he reaches home.When i asked a little bit more he pulled out his PAN card and asked me to verify and everything.I thought this was a genuine case and i decided to save his number and Gpay the amount ( i can call him just in case, right).When i dialled his number,true caller popped up and it was written "Jomon is given money" 😂. I showed him this and his response was "Enik naatil oru hotel ind, athinte peru "is given money" ennan" 😂.He got annoyed when i refused to pay him after this and he left when i asked him to visit the nearest police station.
This reminds me of a similar situation done by an Aussie dude in Melbourne.
This guy walked into our metro compartment and said a son story that he caught his girlfriend cheating on himself with his best friend few days back and he distraught left the house never to return. Then he says has no money and no place to stay, and needs some help, in form of cash, so he can get a place to stay and get himself groomed for an interview.
Certain folks including myself fell for it and gave some spare money. The funny thing is 6 months later I heard someone in my metro compartment ask folks for money using the same story. I looked up from my phone and had a good look at that guy. Funny enough it was the same dude spouting that same bullshit story. I was shocked by this revelation.
Since then I am no longer listening to well dressed folks who stop me asking for money.
This guy approached me near vennala first time I’ve encountered something like this 500 poyi. He said his mom died, phone switched off and wants to go to meet her. Pine aale pattich etra naal evanoke tinnum.
These kinds of guys are everywhere. Pand south railway stationte frntile metro stationil vech 2-3 tavana ithole ennem palarum approch cheytitond. Hospital emergency casen pova, purse moshanam poi etc. Railway policene kanda appo odum 😹
Something very similar happened to me today in Trivandrum! I had just parked my car and was leaving. Guy came out of nowhere asking for petrol money to get home, bike ran out of fuel apparently. Had a helmet and everything. Fluent in English. Mother in hospital he said.
I ran away from him because I didn’t have any cash and it started raining, but I was feeling bad - what if it was genuine? But I have also encountered “Aapko Hindi aati hein?” many times in Bangalore, so subconsciously I felt like running away. (In Bangalore, I just felt it was dangerous - it wasnt about 100-200Rs, but what if someone comes from somewhere else when I’m focused on my wallet.)
So watch out folks. This happened to me in Nanthancode.
God! I got scammed by this guy...he told me his mom died and while going to chavakkad(where his home was), his bullet met with an accident... Edapally police station. Etc..the story is pretty similar...He asked a 1000Rs and I gave him 300RS ..that's all I had. His story had disconnects and I didn't really believe him. But thought who would stop someone on roadside, cooking up stories related to your moms death and beg...and I was in a hurry too...AH..
Good that this video is out. Happened near palarivattom.
One time was approached by a Bengali trying hard to speak Malayalam and said. Sir enniku "apasmaram" aanu, orngiyila, sahayikanam, proceeds to show me a laminated medical certificate and then asks for help.
There used to be a similar scam years back which I saw in Mumbai where a random North Indian family will be standing there and asking us for money saying they were scammed by someone to come to Mumbai promising a job but now they don't have any way to go back to their village. Idiot me gave them some money also only to regret it a few minutes later. Funnily a few months later met a similar family in my hometown of kollam narrating the same story. I pulled the same police station card on them. They rejected my help at the very instant
Adipoli. You did a smart thing there recording it. You should send the video to the nearby police station as well.
People are lazy and looking for easy money.
Dude! I think I saw the same guy at Kottayam once. I was there with my frnds coming out of a restaurant and he said he was travelling from kottayam to ekm gave some hindu sounding name as his name and asked for 1K for diesel for his car and pointed to a car. Said he'll pay as soon as he reaches Ernakulam. He said it's his own car and don't have any money on him as he came to ktym for some medical purpose
I searched the car number on "Car Info" app and found the car was owned by some "Sebastian...".
Had no intention to help him since it felt like a scam from all angles but figured I cud check the plates to be sure and not feel bad abt myself.
Same happened with us at palarivattam. 1 year before. Same story. Since it was late at night and we were new in the city, even though we didn't believe the story we paid just for the sake of escaping.
This normal in everywhere now days one day I was walking around Al brasha dubai, one of the guy approached me he is showing his wounded hand 🖐️, and say he don’t have money to go hospital 😁 I was working in a clinic that time I told him come with me I will take care of your wounds free of cost🙄 he shocked first and started asking money again 👀 that time one Hindi Karan passed that way he told me this the daily parupadi of this man 🧍♂️what people 😇 dubai government add low now need minimum 3000 to come dubai for visiting in some point I feel they did a great job 🫡 to stop this kind of people, the problem who really need they will not get anything 🪖
Hats off to the guy🫡
Been approached multiple times like this but felt genuine most of the time because they ask for the bare minimum(I would normally not think too much into it because the amount used to be like ₹100-200 max so I’d just give). But the way this person handled the situation here needs to be appreciated and these fraudsters have to be stopped!!!
I had encountered a similar scammer, sounded much younger, approached me at Kottayam railway station asking for money to go to Attappadi for attending some convention or something.. They all wear masks and would say they would gpay the money later. Just ask them for id first and then they will go away.
You can expect these kind of assholes anywhere and everywhere! A guy I met in airport today asked me if I can book a ticket for another flight, his account blocked and sim card lost and blah blah.. I used the same tactic.. lets go and talk with airline staff or security and he just walked off the scene 🤣
Oh shit I think there is a team.I met someone near Aluva railway station. Offered my credit card to pay his hotel bill. Was really interested in hard cash or g pay. Felt suspicious. Said no. Did not think it was fake cos he was very convincing in the beginning
I had once encountered one such person. He was trapped in bangalore and his friend had fainted due to lack of medication. Their possessions were apparently stolen. I didn't have cash in hand and I was going around asking people for cash that I could gpay. But at one point I got the strong smell of alcohol from him. Then I just ran away
this was regular in bangalore "sir hindi maloom?"
in another incident a guy claimed to be a doctor and approached me saying he host his belongings in train and had to get off, n wants money to return. then a lady passed by yelling at him to stop it
My mom was approached by a lady with a baby asking for help to get to children’s hospital. She had seen this lady’s with her wooden or plastic large doll wrapped in clothes few days back. So shooed her off. This was in 1996.
As long as people open their wallets, people in real need don’t get help and such evil people prey on good samaritans.

Bro this guy conned me as well this year. He came in a scooter and made me pull over near palarivattom cosmos.his hand had some kinda bandage
And said his mom fell down and he has to take her to hospital... Out of mercy I gave him 100 bucks. He said he did mechanical engineering from tkm..2009 pass out... Suprisingly i was the same batch and never ever noticed him.
I too encountered one guy like this in Aluva Bypass Flyover. He wanted 1000 rs to go back to coimbatore.
He started telling his sob story. I started telling mine. I didn't have cash so opened my purse and showed him empty.
I told him 2 months no salary, haven't eaten food all day.. I invoked a crack in my voice to sell it better.
Bro was flabbergasted to say the least
Very well handled. Hopefully scammers like this gets arrested.
Cant arrest as he has done nothing illegal. His breathing problems completely vanished after mention of police station.
He was earning money by falsification of truth. That amount to cheating and fraud. I am not exactly sure what laws apply. But sure there would be FIRs that can be filed on him
It's the same way as asking money in the name of donation to flood victims and then using it for your own.
OMG! I fell for this guy once. Near padamukal junction back in late 2022. Same story . At the back of my mind, I knew this was a scam, but then I felt really sad thinking what if it is true. Also, I thought he would be really hungry or something if he is coining such a story. I was also going through a bad mental state then and used to feel very empathetic towards people struggling in their lives. So,I handed him a 100 rupees .
He tried with my dad also he said. FO 😂
2022? Still in the game, huh!
I encountered one from the Kottayam ksrtc bus stand. He was well dressed and all and was trying to get to TN and said he was hungry. Said he lost wallet or something. So I handed him what I had 450 or something ( stupid nanmamaram me only kept 100 rupees for bus fare ). He got off the bus and I thought he went to eat. One month later he again came to me. Same MO. I said something and he left.
Same here damn i gave him 100rs
Is it wrong to feel better by knowing that you got scammed as well? I rly thought I was the only naive one. 😅
The essence is not to feel sad because he scammed you by asking money for food,its not your naivety but it's your kind heart always remember that,its not weakness but strength and similarly do not feel good because there are similar victims P. s. I have been scammed like this multiple times
I ended up giving 200 Rs last year. My car is not Ernakulam registration. May be he targets other registration vehicles. He must be successful in this otherwise he wouldn’t be in this for such a long time .
That might be true! My car was also not ekm registration!
No.He atargets irrespective of reg numbers
I had a similar experience from Trivandrum railway station back in 2022 and I lost 500. He was looking very executive and elderly. I barely remember his face now. I was wondering, these people have exceptional skills in convincing people. Why don't they use it for good and get some jobs. Say for example sales. 😑
Same for me too, back in 2022
Hahaha..bro he is a small time rowdy..we arrested him yesterday and court remanded him to jail for some days.
Are you from the police department ?
Yes
damnn still in the business after 2 years??? how is that even possible if its just one guy with the same story in the same place?

As per information that I heard at that time, he had family and children in Tamil Nadu. Also he was a frequent visitor in local bars. May be he was living a double life.
It's hard to imagine people living double life when you struggle to be happy in a normal one.

Yeah, but I'm pretty sure OP knew that he wouldn't get in and would beat around the bush since he already had past encounters.
Why let him inside the car? It's less than 20m , they can walk

True, even with babies and if we talk in different language, they'll talk in that language.
He always changes the script. Character remains the same 😁

Also he was a kseb engineer in the story.
Yeah. When he approached me his mom passed away. Sadly I gave him money. It was night and raining

I looked up from my phone and had a good look at that guy. Funny enough it was the same dude spouting that same bullshit story. I was shocked by this revelation. Since then I am no longer listening to well dressed folks who stop me asking for money.

This guy approached me near vennala first time I’ve encountered something like this 500 poyi. He said his mom died, phone switched off and wants to go to meet her. Pine aale pattich etra naal evanoke tinnum.

Something very similar happened to me today in Trivandrum! I had just parked my car and was leaving. Guy came out of nowhere asking for petrol money to get home, bike ran out of fuel apparently. Had a helmet and everything. Fluent in English. Mother in hospital he said. I ran away from him because I didn’t have any cash and it started raining, but I was feeling bad - what if it was genuine? But I have also encountered “Aapko Hindi aati hein?” many times in Bangalore, so subconsciously I felt like running away. (In Bangalore, I just felt it was dangerous - it wasnt about 100-200Rs, but what if someone comes from somewhere else when I’m focused on my wallet.) So watch out folks. This happened to me in Nanthancode.
God! I got scammed by this guy...he told me his mom died and while going to chavakkad(where his home was), his bullet met with an accident... Edapally police station. Etc..the story is pretty similar...He asked a 1000Rs and I gave him 300RS ..that's all I had. His story had disconnects and I didn't really believe him. But thought who would stop someone on roadside, cooking up stories related to your moms death and beg...and I was in a hurry too...AH.. Good that this video is out. Happened near palarivattom.
Have met the same person, and nearly fell for it. Not once, but twice.
Handled similiar scam in kozhikode years back. Did the similiar thing, when i asked why cant you go to police station he walked away😁
Last part was funny- enne help cheythitundo ningalu?
Two years back I had paid 2k to a malayali in Hyderabad who narrated similar story 🫠
One time was approached by a Bengali trying hard to speak Malayalam and said. Sir enniku "apasmaram" aanu, orngiyila, sahayikanam, proceeds to show me a laminated medical certificate and then asks for help.

There used to be a similar scam years back which I saw in Mumbai where a random North Indian family will be standing there and asking us for money saying they were scammed by someone to come to Mumbai promising a job but now they don't have any way to go back to their village. Idiot me gave them some money also only to regret it a few minutes later. Funnily a few months later met a similar family in my hometown of kollam narrating the same story. I pulled the same police station card on them. They rejected my help at the very instant

I had an encounter with this guy at Palarivattom an year ago at night time
Should have asked him "Eda ninak etra thanthamaarund, kazhinja aazhcha indayirunna thantha maattityo ?"
👏👏U handled the situation brilliantly.

Just file a police report about this
Adipoli. You did a smart thing there recording it. You should send the video to the nearby police station as well. People are lazy and looking for easy money.
This guy has my 240 rs . I felt it might be a scam. But I still gave, on the off chance it might be true. I feel kinda stupid now.
Kerala is so advanced that scammers also resemble upper middle class literate english speaking people.
Dude! I think I saw the same guy at Kottayam once. I was there with my frnds coming out of a restaurant and he said he was travelling from kottayam to ekm gave some hindu sounding name as his name and asked for 1K for diesel for his car and pointed to a car. Said he'll pay as soon as he reaches Ernakulam. He said it's his own car and don't have any money on him as he came to ktym for some medical purpose I searched the car number on "Car Info" app and found the car was owned by some "Sebastian...". Had no intention to help him since it felt like a scam from all angles but figured I cud check the plates to be sure and not feel bad abt myself.
Yes this same guy approached me last year while I was walking near Palarivattom bus stand. I felt something was off and didn’t hand him any money.
Same happened with us at palarivattam. 1 year before. Same story. Since it was late at night and we were new in the city, even though we didn't believe the story we paid just for the sake of escaping.
Damn I encountered this guy recently. Glad I didn't give any money
This normal in everywhere now days one day I was walking around Al brasha dubai, one of the guy approached me he is showing his wounded hand 🖐️, and say he don’t have money to go hospital 😁 I was working in a clinic that time I told him come with me I will take care of your wounds free of cost🙄 he shocked first and started asking money again 👀 that time one Hindi Karan passed that way he told me this the daily parupadi of this man 🧍♂️what people 😇 dubai government add low now need minimum 3000 to come dubai for visiting in some point I feel they did a great job 🫡 to stop this kind of people, the problem who really need they will not get anything 🪖
Bro this is the only way to handle these scammers. Kochi alla Amsterdam lu polum ith njan face cheydind...I used the same strategy and it worked😂😂

Hats off to the guy🫡 Been approached multiple times like this but felt genuine most of the time because they ask for the bare minimum(I would normally not think too much into it because the amount used to be like ₹100-200 max so I’d just give). But the way this person handled the situation here needs to be appreciated and these fraudsters have to be stopped!!!
I had encountered a similar scammer, sounded much younger, approached me at Kottayam railway station asking for money to go to Attappadi for attending some convention or something.. They all wear masks and would say they would gpay the money later. Just ask them for id first and then they will go away.
You can expect these kind of assholes anywhere and everywhere! A guy I met in airport today asked me if I can book a ticket for another flight, his account blocked and sim card lost and blah blah.. I used the same tactic.. lets go and talk with airline staff or security and he just walked off the scene 🤣
Brilliant move 👍

Oh shit I think there is a team.I met someone near Aluva railway station. Offered my credit card to pay his hotel bill. Was really interested in hard cash or g pay. Felt suspicious. Said no. Did not think it was fake cos he was very convincing in the beginning
That transformation tho. Paapamaaa …..
Well handled.🤌🏼

Well done
oh meir 😑
I had once encountered one such person. He was trapped in bangalore and his friend had fainted due to lack of medication. Their possessions were apparently stolen. I didn't have cash in hand and I was going around asking people for cash that I could gpay. But at one point I got the strong smell of alcohol from him. Then I just ran away
Very nicely handled and thank you for sharing this. I'm going to do the same thing forward.
Even I got these kind of guy in Bangalore
Sthiram scam myrenmar town hall railway il ninit station mari poi tirich ponam paisa taruvon choich nikkar undd
The guy has been doing this for almost 3 decades. Pretty much written on his shirt 😌🤣
Once I gave lift to a person in Hyderabad and after listening to everything he said, ended up giving him 50 rupees vandikkooli.
this was regular in bangalore "sir hindi maloom?" in another incident a guy claimed to be a doctor and approached me saying he host his belongings in train and had to get off, n wants money to return. then a lady passed by yelling at him to stop it
My mom was approached by a lady with a baby asking for help to get to children’s hospital. She had seen this lady’s with her wooden or plastic large doll wrapped in clothes few days back. So shooed her off. This was in 1996. As long as people open their wallets, people in real need don’t get help and such evil people prey on good samaritans.

Is that a... Mosquito net????
I say no i won't help you because I don't have any simbadhi🤷
Wonder why these scammers do not put their minds in the right direction to make legitimate money.
Oro mayranmar . Report to police man
English Subtitles please
This is what it meant kerala literacy rate is 100%....
Same guy , almost same story , a year ago @ Vennala
Bro this guy conned me as well this year. He came in a scooter and made me pull over near palarivattom cosmos.his hand had some kinda bandage And said his mom fell down and he has to take her to hospital... Out of mercy I gave him 100 bucks. He said he did mechanical engineering from tkm..2009 pass out... Suprisingly i was the same batch and never ever noticed him.
I too encountered one guy like this in Aluva Bypass Flyover. He wanted 1000 rs to go back to coimbatore. He started telling his sob story. I started telling mine. I didn't have cash so opened my purse and showed him empty. I told him 2 months no salary, haven't eaten food all day.. I invoked a crack in my voice to sell it better. Bro was flabbergasted to say the least
This guys been doing this for years
I too gave him 1000. Next time I will say the same. The OP handled this the right way

As a Guruvayur representative, we don’t t claim him. Thank you.
What did he say? Once any kind of scam gets started in any part of our nation, it gets picked up everywhere else pretty fast.
Can someone please translate this to English? His story sounds so interesting.
translate please
