I've been trying to capture this dirty scam on film ever since it happened to me.
And what happens is a guy comes up behind you and he squirts dog poo on your shoe.
And then his friend comes along and offers to clean it off for a crazy amount.
And I finally got it on film when I was showing my friend around Delhi.
Under this is Palika Bazaar
And this on the back is where the guy drops poop on your shoe.
Now watch the man in the blue shirt.
He is Mr. Poo.
He spotted us and he's getting in position behind us ready to poop on my friend.
He's following us now and I move ahead with my friend
and that's when he bends down behind my friend and squirts dog poo on his shoe.
Now watch Mr. Poo run around that pillar to my friend.
The poo is wrapped in newspaper and he rolls it so he can squirt it out of the paper like he's icing a cake.
Karl: Where did they come from? I don't know.
And now he is pretending to be the friendly guy who helps us clean the shoe.
Wow. Thank God he is there to help us.
His partner in crime, the shoe cleaning man, is just around the corner waiting for us.
Karl: What are the odds? I just told you this was gonna happen.
So I can't believe that just happened.
I just told my friend that we were gonna walk where the guy drops poop on people's shoes here in Delhi.
And within two seconds, he had poop on his shoe. What the hell!
And it's recorded on camera. My god!
And this happened to me a long ago right here in this spot.
The first time, he asked me for 2000 rs.
And so I just cleaned it off with a leaf myself.
But they asked him for 2500 rs today.
And he managed to bargain them down to 900.
And so how these scams work is...
one guy who drops the poop on the shoe and there's another guy who comes and helps you remove it.
He takes you to a removal guy, a shoe cleaner here
and then he helps you bargain the price down a bit.
So you feel like you're getting a good deal. Like you've been pooped on but you've been helped by a local too at the same time.
Crazy! I just cannot believe this.
But Mr. Poo does not stop there.
I stalked him for a bit and he strikes again.
This time on a British tourist.
I watch them crouch behind and then squirt poop on this guy's shoe.
You guys okay?
Tourist: Yeah, I'm alright.
Now I want to keep you guys safe from Mr. Poo as well.
He operates in and around Palika Bazaar here in Delhi.
And Palika Bazaar in Connaught Place.. it's just scammers' paradise there.
And there's so much police presence but nothing is ever done against these guys.
And I know some of you are gonna be really angry at what this guy is doing to guests here.
But I don't want you to do anything. This is not a witch hunt.
If you want to do something, share this video with the Delhi Police.
It's their job and only their job to enforce the law here and to stop this guy.
