Fraud, as a separate type of property crime, was highlighted in the laws of most states back in the 16-17 centuries. The Russian Criminal Code currently interprets this dangerous crime as theft of someone else's property or the acquisition of the right to someone else's property by deception or abuse of trust.
It is sad to say, but in the Kurgan region there are cases of fraudulent actions against law-abiding citizens, and the ways of deception or abuse of trust are becoming more sophisticated from year to year. There are cell phone scams. And there is also such a method of deception, which, as a rule, is used by citizens of the Roma nationality. And although, among the gypsies, as among all nationalities, there are different people, there are honest and decent, kind and considerate. But there are a number of representatives of this nationality who are used to making money by deceit, committing a crime. This method is based on a good knowledge of the psychology of ordinary people, on the fact that all people are naturally curious and want to look into the future in order to learn how to cure their illness, find out how to get rich,without making much effort. Most people are naturally kind and trusting. Of course, they will pity a hungry child or a tired pregnant woman. All these qualities of ours are successfully used by scammers for their own purposes.
Who does not know that gypsies are fluent in the technique of hypnosis? There is information that profitable skills are inherited and exclusively through the female line. Not everyone knows the craft - only a select few. Others help fool a susceptible victim. This method is popularly called gypsy hypnosis, psychologists call the action Ericksonian hypnosis or Ericksonian hypnosis. The name does not affect the essence at all. The main thing is that the impact occurs without your consent.
How it works
Anna, student, Kurgan. “I walked through the city center. I was in a great mood: just from the beauty salon - a new hairstyle, massage, manicure - I was pleased with myself. I walked, smiling, down the street, immersed in my thoughts: I was thinking about the upcoming romantic dinner … When I suddenly heard very close to me: “Aunt, you are so beautiful, give me some bread … he looked at me so touchingly … I took out my wallet and noted that I was surrounded by people rather tightly, they all said something quickly, quickly, as if buzzing. Then I came to my senses: “Gypsies!” Immediately, stories about gypsy hypnosis came to my mind, when a person was put into a trance and robbed to the skin. I rushed out of the ring. I had to literally push myself between the gypsies, who, as it seemed to me, were tightening the ranks. And here I am outside.“Where's the bag? And the earrings? And the ring? Damn, and the clock … “Tears came from frustration, I clenched my fists, turned around - no one. The scammers seemed to disappear into thin air …"
Most often, gypsies act in places of maximum congestion. They want as wide a range of clients as possible. Naturally, most people bypass the motley crowd, but sooner or later someone will get caught. Yes, it will be only one person out of a hundred, but this is quite enough. Gypsies are not only clever magicians, but also subtle psychologists. They know how to find an approach to people, they know how to confuse their heads. After all, one has only to look at the person, at the expression on his face, to determine the mood. Well, and then it's a matter of technology … The sad one needs to guess misfortune, the cheerful one - success. This is almost one hundred percent hitting the target.
Older women are usually predicted the death of a spouse, or - the most cruel - predict damage to children, their illness or death. Men are bluffed about damage to money or health. In psychology, cases are described when it is possible to achieve the desired from a person, using the method of triple consent. When a person agrees to a trifle three times, then by inertia he will agree to something more. This is how the gypsies act. "Beauty, give a ruble to a child," - if you do, a second request immediately follows: "Well, give me another ruble, what do you feel sorry for?" - toss another coin. And the last move: “And you have a dozen in your wallet, completely torn, why do you need it? And my children sit hungry for the second day. " God forbid, if you fall for this trick. That's it, the client has reached the "desired condition" - then the main thing: the victim is left without money, jewelry, sometimes mobile phones,cameras, other valuable things.
Promotional video:
The ideal "client" is a young girl, preferably a disgruntled woman. She is inexperienced, trusting and, for sure, mired in problems. Not having time to cross the street (using the factor of surprise), the girl hears a question about the current time. Actually, the answer itself does not bother the gypsies, followed by the standard phrase: "I see you are a good woman, kind, but you have problems!" (provoking an affirmative answer, people do not live without problems).
1. I see, dear, you walk in a circle, hustle on the spot, some obstacle is interfering with you. Let me guess, - the gypsy offers.
2. Exactly, - the girl thinks, - I have difficulties in one case … Wow, how did she guess? Now critically evaluate the "prophecy": which of us does not walk in a circle, who does not hinder obstacles?
3. I see that not everything is working out for you! (entering the second affirmative answer).
4. You have problems in your family … (a third affirmative answer is needed).
5. Look, your hair turns red, damage is on you, strong damage! (switching attention). During the entire performance, a crowd of fellow tribesmen tightly surrounds the central group and continuously hums, creating a background noise (cutting off extraneous influences).
Gypsies are always confident in themselves. Any of the representatives of this nationality has a confident, tenacious look. She literally pierces her eyes. The same is with the voice: they speak quickly, "chatter" the listener, crush the flow of information that the person does not have time to perceive and understand. Gypsies load all the channels of perception at once, that is, they create such an environment around you that they block sight, hearing, smell, and touch with their presence. To enhance the effect of suggestion, the fortuneteller leans very close, takes the hand, strokes the shoulder.
“… Two gypsies entered the courtyard of the elderly“X”. They asked for water, then asked permission to rest, as they were tired, and after sitting on the porch, they asked to go into the house. Already being in the house "X" and making sure that there was no one except the elderly mistress in the house, they offered her to "remove the damage" from herself and her family members. The women offered "X" to give them the money that was kept in the house; the gypsies had only to hold it in their hands without removing it from the envelope, and then return the money and the envelope to the hostess. Everything was so or almost so! The criminals, having read fortunes for free, returned the coveted packet with the blood money stored in it, allegedly with all the contents intact, instructing “X” not to look into it and not pick it up for a whole day. When, in violation of the order, the package was prematurely removed from the pillow, there was nothing there."
Our gypsies are able to talk a woman, regardless of age, and take away all the money and gold. Moreover, the most surprising thing is that the victim does most of the work of the scammers herself. The sly interlocutor only possesses the initial skills of “speaking teeth”. But much more in favor of the gypsy is her mysterious, almost witchcraft, image, which is skillfully created and maintained among ordinary people. As soon as the black-eyed fortune-teller enters the conversation, many immediately suggest to themselves that she is simply obliged to confuse their heads!
Of course, the gypsies have some more complicated techniques. Tricks are used with a needle, turning black in the hands of the victim, and a chicken egg, from which fortune-tellers extract a worm right in front of your eyes. All these simple manipulations are presented by gypsies to gullible citizens as a sign of corruption. And citizens, stunned by the unexpected discovery of their "corruption", immediately begin to absolutely voluntarily get rid of money, gold and other valuables in favor of clever illusionists.
Roma women are not the only ones deceiving the gullible population. Everyone is familiar with the proposals for the purchase of chainsaws, kettles, the miracle of devices that can cure a variety of ailments. These offers come from sellers with a gypsy appearance. And although everyone knows that such goods cannot be bought, that this is a deception and a chainsaw bought from the Roma will not work, many still make purchases, give away their savings, and when the sellers leave their settlement, they bitterly regret, realizing that they did not buy good thing.
As a rule, people who talk to black-eyed "Romale", in one way or another, are deprived of those few savings that they managed to postpone for a rainy day from their meager pension. And although the victims remember the signs of criminals and promptly inform the police about the crimes committed against them, these crimes are solved with great difficulty, primarily due to the fact that the criminals who committed them, as a rule, lead a nomadic lifestyle and for a long time in the same settlement paragraph do not linger.
What to do?
If possible, avoid communicating with the mentioned contingent, break off contact at the earliest opportunity, do not make deals with them, do not make purchases. Exercise vigilance and caution in dealing with unknown "well-wishers" trying to do a "good deed" using money-taking methods. Don't trust strangers. If you see gypsies in your village selling something, call the police and report it.
Take care of yourself!
