"I was walking around the [Eiffel] Tower when two young girls asked me if I was an American, and then asked me to sign a form to support the International Association for Deaf Mute and Homeless Children.

"I said sure, I'll donate 10 euros. I gave them 20 euros, and then [they] said the min donation was 20 Euros and wouldn't give me back my change.

"Then they said, 'give me another 20 and I'll give you back two 10s.' Well, stupid me! I gave them another 20 euros and then they started laughing while they walked away.

Those people with their clipboards and causes are all over Europe and they are all, every single one of them, a scam.
