Julien Courbet has had enough of the French being fooled. Already on the air daily on M6 with It can happen to you, the host launched the show in 2021 Scams on the same channel, whose second issue is expected this Saturday evening. On the program, three areas of scams: bank account scams, used vehicle scams and scam real estate developers.
To defend his show, Julien Courbet gave an interview to Buzz-TV Friday May 27. The opportunity for him to tell the spooky backstage of filming. Indeed, the ex-columnist of Do not touch My TV found himself in a very bad position when he went to meet a dealer “who did not deliver“the vehicles he sold to his customers. The latter had been very aggressive, even threatening Julien Courbet and physically attacking one of his team members.
“I have shivers down my spine“, said the host to this memory. And to tell: “He received us with a gun! He hit the cameraman with his fistsluckily he’s fine… And then he pulls out the gun and says, ‘I’m going to smoke you’“Neither one nor two, Julien Courbet and his colleague took to their heels.”We had to run away… We’re talking about a professional who sells used cars! This is where we are today“, he said sorry, admitting to having been very scared: “When you got a guy yelling and saying, ‘I’m gonna smoke you, I’m gonna get the gun’ and he’s gonna get itI can tell you that I did not show enormous courage“.
Very quickly, the two journalists lodged a complaint against the car salesman and they realized that he was well known to the police. “What is a bit annoying is that we immediately call the police or the gendarmerie and they answer us: ‘Ah, it’s him! We usually.’ But if you’re used to it, maybe you need to do something. Maybe we shouldn’t wait for him to kill someone“.
