I put the ring on my right hand. The rest of the day I was approached 5 more times in various other locations. When I was approached and before the kid could even say anything I flashed the ring and said "No thanks, I already have one" and kept walking. The look on their faces was priceless. Needless to say I did have some fun with it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11471590.post-42543317248746929102008-03-04T06:47:00.000+01:002008-03-04T06:47:00.000+01:00I just got back from Paris this past weekend and s...I just got back from Paris this past weekend and saw this scam 3 times during my trip: once by a skilled-handed kid on the Passerelle Debilly (near l'Alma), and twice by a woman on Pont Alexandre III.

It's really quite brilliant to see, if fundamentally annoying.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18072916442680075950noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11471590.post-50463391472798931822008-02-27T10:30:00.000+01:002008-02-27T10:30:00.000+01:00I've just realised I got involved in a scam!
