This is a scam we encountered during a recent trip to Istanbul. Basically, these scam artists have a hand carried tote with shoe polishing and cleaning supplies. On the back of their tote, there is a brush held on by a small hook. When the guy is walking he uses the back of his leg to knock the brush off in front of you and onto the ground. When the unsuspecting victim picks up the brush and hands it back to the show shine guy, the show shine guy is very appreciative and offers to clean your shoes for being so nice. Sixty seconds later, the shoe shine guy proceeds to tell you that you owe him $20 because he just cleaned your shoes.
I apologize for the shaking video but it was difficult to hold my phone.
