• Crush-and-grab pickpocketing (Metro/RER). Gangs swarm you boarding or alighting on Metro lines 1 and 6, on RER B from CDG, and at Chatelet-Les Halles, jostling while taking phones and wallets. Tip: Keep your phone away and bag zipped in front; be hyper-alert at the doors during the boarding crush.
• Petition / "deaf charity" scam. Groups with clipboards near the Eiffel Tower and Louvre ask you to sign a petition while accomplices pick your pockets. Tip: Do not engage or sign; keep walking with hands on your bag.
• Friendship-bracelet (Montmartre/Sacre-Coeur). Men grab your wrist and tie a bracelet before you can refuse, then demand 10-20 euros. Tip: Keep hands in pockets near the Sacre-Coeur steps; firmly refuse and move on.
• Gold-ring trick & fake-police wallet check. Someone "finds" a gold ring to sell you, or fake plainclothes police demand to inspect your wallet or phone for "counterfeit cash". Tip: Ignore the ring; real police do not check tourists wallets - decline and move to a busy area.
