IRL streamer confronts scammers after being pickpocketed As one of the net\u2019s most popular live streaming platforms, Twitch is a hive for a variety of content across the board \u2013 but some of this content includes shocking subject matter. Although Twitch boasts a slew of different categories, its IRL streaming section is one of its most popular genres, with streamers opting to broadcast their daily lives for all to see. However, these broadcasts can capture unexpected moments as they unfold in real time, as seen during Megan \u201cmegancs\u201d Soh\u2019s October 18 stream. 600https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/B028kkoHV5M\/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link Megan\u2019s trip to Berlin, Germany was interrupted by a group of bystanders, who quickly crowded around the 23-year-old and two other travelers as they walked down a street. After begging the group to stop, one of the travelers explained that they were scammers, known for using their crowding tactics to pick pockets. This caused Megan to check her own belongings, noticing that the scammers had stolen her wallet amid the kerfuffle. While some would merely call the police rather than incite a confrontation, the streamer made her way back to the scammers, demanding that they return her personal effects. \u201cGive it back,\u201d she commanded. \u201cI just want to check,\u201d one of scammers appeared to say. \u201cShe\u2019s crazy!\u201d Thankfully, Megan\u2019s money wasn\u2019t inside of her wallet \u2013 but that didn\u2019t stop her from being exasperated by the ordeal. \u201cFirst day, and it\u2019s these kind of people,\u201d she bemoaned. \u201cLuckily my passport wasn\u2019t in my wallet. \u2026I scolded him! I said, \u2018Give it back.\u2019\u201d This wouldn\u2019t be the first time a streamer has been pickpocketed on camera, either: streamer Giannie Lee\u2019s boyfriend was also stolen from during their trip in London, with her camera catching the thief pilfering his wallet from his back pocket. However, the thief later \u201creturned\u201d the wallet, claiming that he\u2019d found it \u2013 but it\u2019s more likely that he realized he was being filmed. https:\/\/www.dexerto.com\/entertainment\/pickpocket-returns-wallet-after-being-caught-red-handed-twitch-irl-stream-643296Thanks to the advent of live streaming, it\u2019s easy to catch thieves in the act \u2013 although it certainly doesn\u2019t soothe the awful feeling of being stolen from, nor being the target of a group of scammers preying on unsuspecting tourists.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
