How it works
Individuals, often posing as representatives of children's charities or disability organisations, approach tourists on Ban Jelačić Square with a clipboard and petition asking for a signature. Once you sign, they immediately demand a cash donation and become aggressive or guilt-trip you if you refuse. The clipboard is typically pre-filled with signatures and donation amounts to create social proof.
