Beware of bird poop scam

[New Jersey Pat]

If you think some bird poop had fallen on you, do not accept help from anyone. We accepted help from a "kind stranger" and were pickpocketed €50.

I watched this video and it was helpful. The 'bird poop" warning was included.

Glad you posted this. Always a reminder of things that can happen.

 

Similar things happen in some other areas around the world such as paint.

 

Again a good reminder about what can happen.
