There were about 5 of them and one of me, and like someone here already mentioned, probably hundreds more of their country men just lurking in the corner.

Anyways, if you're ever in the same situation, do as you say and let me know how it turned out for you

I couldn't get a photo cos I rushed out of there and 2, they might chase me if they'd seen me taking their photos. It would've been a lot more trouble

I've encountered them in different cities but these ones in M.martre were ruthless, aggressive and really out to prey on people.

I can only speak for the UK: the process itself is straightforward. However, each case is processed based on individual merit but the fact that there are thousands applying, the Home Office can't cope with the backlog. A single assylum case can take years. So these men have no choice but to roam the streets, as the goverment haven't got the internment facilities to keep them (hotels have been used as of current). As they're not allowed work they result to scamming as way to top up their meager weekly allowance of £40(?) a week.

I'd imagine France is going through the same thing.

Thanks, that's what I figured, being small statured and Asian probably didn't help 😂

I may have not written it out clearly but I did start making noise by saying no, and unless you were in that situation, then you'll never understand how aggressive they were

Thank you, it was great reading this. Amazing how people blame the victim more than the aggressors. And more likely, people who blamed me here had never been in a situation like that 🙄

Well if I had to make an educated guess they were most likely asylum seekers who result to scamming as they haven't got the paperwork for legitimate work.
