Aucklanders aggressively targeted in an alleged fake monk scam say the offenders are stopping moving vehicles, opening car doors and pressuring victims to hand…

Bloody hell, opening car doors? That's a bit much. Should be able to say no without getting harassed.
my point. It's intimidating for older folks who aren't used to confrontation.
ffs, fake monks now? Auckland's turning into a circus. Just ignore them and keep walking.
classic Auckland, nothing surprises me anymore 😂
Had one of these guys try to hand me a bracelet at Sylvia Park. I just said nah and kept moving, but my mum's elderly, she'd probably get pressured into handing over cash. Scummy behaviour.
wait why are they targeting malls?? like seriously got better things to do than deal with fake monks trying to scam people. what a joke

Seen these pricks around the Viaduct. They're not even subtle. Someone needs to film them and post it online, name and shame.
get stuffed, just walk away. not hard.
Surely security at the malls can do something? Or just call the cops. This isn't complicated.
omg yes mall security just stand there on their phones half the time lol
Mate I work near a mall, we've had reports of these guys. They target women and elderly mostly. Absolute grubs.
Yeah nah, just give them a hard stare and they move on. But I worry about the more vulnerable people though.
but still a pain in the arse to deal with on a morning commute
