Watch an “Accident Scammer” Fake Getting Hit By a Car
MANILA, PHILIPPINES - JANUARY 14: Street vendors gather outside Quiapo Catholic Church ahead of the papal visit to the area on January 14, 2015 in Manila, Philippines. Pope Francis will visit venues across Leyte and Manila during his visit to the Philippines from January 15 - 19. The visit is expected to attract crowds in the millions as Filipino Catholics flock to catch a glimpse of the leader of the Catholic Church in the Philippines for the first time since 1995. The Pope will begin the tour in Manila, then travelling to Tacloban to visit areas devastated by Typhoon Haiyan before returning to Manila to hold a mass at Rizal Park. The Philippines is the only Catholic majority nation in Asia with around 90 percent of the population professing the faith. (Photo by Lisa Maree Williams/Getty Images)
This happened in the Philippines. An “accident scammer” pretending to be a street vendor faked getting hit by a passing car. He leans into the car, which barely touches him, and then he falls down and fakes rolling over and over in the street.
He even increased the “scare factor” by carrying metal buckets on his shoulders that clanged against the side of the car. The end game is to have the driver offer cash to make it all go away.
