Aucklanders are being warned about an alleged widespread scam involving people posing as “monks” handing out bracelets or medallions before demanding money. Pe…

Oh cool, so now we can't even trust people in robes? What's next, fake nuns shaking down tourists for 'donations'? 🙄
Saw these clowns outside the library last week. Told 'em to get a real job and they actually swore at me. Credibility: zero.
lol imagine thinking real monks would ever do this. It's obviously a scam, ppl need to use their brains.
Honestly, if you're dumb enough to hand over cash to some random 'monk' on the street, you kind of deserve to lose it. Darwin award material.
nah, mate - victim blaming helps no one. They're good at it, all smiles then bam guilt trip.
I was offered a 'lucky charm' near the Viaduct. Told him I'm already lucky cos I didn't fall for his bs. haha

bet you wouldn't say that to their face lol
ffs, these scammers are everywhere now. Got hit up twice last week. Now I just cross the road when I see anyone in robes. Sad state of affairs.
Police are useless as always. 'Be vigilant' - yeah cheers, real helpful. Maybe try arresting a few?
Right? 'Be aware' is just code for 'we're not doing anything.'
Auckland scams are getting out of control! Watch out everyone! 🚨
Anyone else think it's kinda ironic that 'monks' are running a scam? Like, isn't there a whole thing about not wanting money? 😂
They're not real monks, dumbass. It's a costume.
