A CON MAN ONCE PRETENDED TO BE A GOVERNMENT OFFICIAL AND "SOLD" THE EIFFEL TOWER TWICE 🗼
In 1925, con artist Victor Lustig famously "sold" the Eiffel Tower not once, but twice. Disguising himself as a French government official, he forged documents and claimed the tower was a costly eyesore destined for demolition.
Lustig invited scrap metal dealers to a private meeting, convincing them they could profit by dismantling the landmark.
He successfully swindled one group, escaped with the money, and then attempted the same scheme again with another set of dealers.
Though never caught for this scam, Lustig's bold deception remains one of history's most notorious cons, cementing his reputation as a master trickster.
