Conor Woodman spends this episode of Scam City working the streets of Paris, tracking the hustles that target tourists around the Eiffel Tower, Montmartre, and the Metro. He poses as a mark to get close to pickpocket crews who work crowded platforms in teams, one distracting while another lifts wallets, and meets pick-up artists who use rehearsed routines to separate travelers from their cash rather than their hearts. The episode also follows the notorious petition scam and the fake gold ring trick, then turns to a scheme involving Chinese-run counterfeit art operations selling fake paintings to unsuspecting buyers near tourist landmarks. Woodman talks his way into conversations with the scammers themselves, who explain their methods with surprising candor, while police and security consultants lay out how widespread the practices are and why they persist. Shot on location with hidden cameras and street-level footage, the episode treats Paris as a case study in how a tourist economy creates predictable openings for con artists, and how easily confidence and misdirection do the rest.
