The viral clip begins with the man confronting one of the alleged scammers, filming him on camera and saying, "Come, come to the police, we will talk. Dekho kaise bhaag raha hai. Yeh sab scammers hain, inke jhaanse mein mat aana."Then he explains, ''Toh main abhi Bengaluru Airport par hoon, and ek ghante mein do log mil chuke hain mujhe, aur dono scammers the. Matlab ek jo abhi aapne dekha,

jo aise bhaag kar nikla hai, woh aake mujhe puchta hai ki uski train tickets book karne ke liye main uski help karun from my phone. Woh bolenge ki mujhe paisa nahi chahiye, bas meri train tickets book karni hain. Main uski shakal dekh kar samajh gaya ki yeh scammer hai aur maine usko wahan se bhaga diya." ("So, I'm currently at Bengaluru Airport, and within just one hour, I've already come across two people, and both of them were scammers. One of them, the person you just saw running away, approached me and asked if I could help him book train tickets using my phone. He said he didn't need any money, only help with booking the tickets. Looking at him, I immediately felt something was off and realized he was a scammer, so I sent him away.") He further added, "Theek hai, phir baad mein mujhe doosra banda mila, ek ladka. Haath mein kuch boarding pass tha uske, jisme scanner lage hue the. Phir woh bol raha tha ki mere se payment nahi ho raha hai, aap meri payment mein help kar doge. Baad mein main aapko paise transfer kar dunga. Phir main wahan par bhi samajh gaya ki yeh bhi scammer hai. Maine usko bhi daanta aur woh bhi wahan se bhaag gaya." ("Then later, I came across another person, a young man. He was holding what looked like a boarding pass with some QR codes on it. He told me that he was unable to make a payment and asked if I could help him complete it. He said he would transfer the money back to me afterward. But I quickly realized that he was also a scammer. I scolded him, and he too ran away from the spot.") He went on to explain, "Jo pehle wala banda tha, woh mujhe wapas mila. Aur jab main uska video bana raha tha, usne dekh liya. Usne bola ki mera video kyun bana rahe ho. Maine usko bola, chalo police ke paas, phir batata hoon. Aur police ka naam sun kar woh aise bhaaga wahan se. Toh bhai, aise logon se bach kar rehna. Yeh Bengaluru Airport par hain. Bas apne phone ka access mat dena." ("The first guy I mentioned crossed paths with me again later. When I started recording him, he noticed that I was filming. He asked me why I was making a video of him. I told him, 'Come with me to the police station, and I'll explain there.' The moment he heard the word 'police,' he ran away immediately. So, guys, stay cautious of people like this. They're operating around Bengaluru Airport. Most importantly, don't give anyone access to your phone.")
