How it works
Along Boulevard de la Corniche and on the pedestrian stretches near Ain Diab beach, street vendors forcibly place handmade bracelets or leather bands on tourists' wrists without asking, then demand 100–300 MAD to remove them. Refusal is met with aggressive shouting, followed by a second vendor appearing to escalate pressure. The item itself is worthless; the scam relies entirely on manufactured social embarrassment.
