The whole thing was very scary.
And then as we got to the bottom of the stairs, I wasnt even looking around.
I was just like talking to her.
He came to me and he said: Take it, take it.
And I was like No, thank you.
No, thank you.
No, thank you.
Until he grabs my arm aggressively, like, it hurt me.

He literally said Its the friendship symbol.
And the other man was like Respect him.
And I was like I am respecting him, I just dont want it, like let me go.
And by the time I said this, there were literally like six or seven men surrounding me.
I was literally in the middle of them around me.
My arm was, of course, still blocked.
And this was certainly not the first time that they did this.
And I ran for my life without even looking back.
So, hey, hey, hey be careful if you ever go to Montmartre.
In the account bio, he describes himself as the Italian in Paris.
There he has over 145K followers and nearly 15M likes.
The scamthat Fabrizio fell victim to is, just as he called it, the Friendship Bracelet Scam.
In some cases it can also be called the French String Scam.
Or even, as in Fabrizios case, more scammers show up, who surround and mug a person.
We just wonder why the authorities do not do anything about it.
This way scammers soon will leave to look for another person.
They expressed their compassion for the OP.
And, well, that must have been very traumatizing.
Its literal aggression: internet folks were outraged by this hostile hoax and felt sorry for the TikToker
