Are there more rogues around these days?

In article ,
says...
Some 40 years ago I was buying as it might be apples in a greengrocer's
in Naples. Change was 400 lire, and he showed me four 100 lire coins in
his hand. Turns his hand over to drop the coins in my palm, put puts his
thumb over one of the coins. Result: 300 lire in my hand.

It's traditional.

In the bay of Naples they've been ripping off tourists for the last
2,000 years.

Romans used to go there for their holidays & get ripped off something
rotten.
