      No. It's the yes man approach. The scammer instantly let the woman hold his fake cash, forcing the woman to do the transaction. You're just watching but you won't be sure if it's done to you on the spot. It requires training to not fall from that.

      and the guy started saying "I sue, I sue!" then ran off after he let him go.

      Realistically the best the ticket inspectors can do is request ALL parties to show they have paid their ride fare at the gate. If they have, then as ticket inspectors they have no further authority. Potentially they could assess the situation and request the police attend with urgency to investigate all 3 people but that's it.

I may need to go back and do the B1 stuff first. I got cocky because I tested into the B2 level at a language school in Montpellier, but l'Alliance Français told me otherwise, lol.

Crazy to see so many of them just act weird, swear in another language that isn't Czech, mumble, walk around. I always thought these scammers would cut my throat with a box-cutter if I looked at them the wrong way. Serious respect.

    This guy is Bulgarian. There is something distinct that he said that gave him up. Just before he entered the subway station. I really cannot translate it on CZcams, because it is extremely explicit and involves mothers and sexual activity. I can also tell you he is from the eastern parts of Bulgaria, because of the very specific dialect that he swore in. This is at 4:47, he later repeats it, but he is whispering it. I can not exactly pinpoint where he is from just based on that, because anyone from Varna, through Burgas, through Plovdiv and Sliven uses this specific variation of cursing in the same manner. If I had to bet, I would say he is somewhere from the south-eastern part of Bulgaria. I hope this helps in some way. If I have more information I can probably dig him up online, but you already have enough experience finding them yourselves, so hopefully the hint that he is definitely Bulgarian and what part of Bulgaria he comes from, could help you.
    I'm sick of Bulgarian pickpockets, pimps, and scammers around Europe. I bet at some point he was active in Barcelona, because when I lived there, most street hustlers were either Bulgarian or Romanian, but Mossos slowly, but surely mostly flushed them out of the city, that is why they seem to move to countries that are not part of the EU zone.
