A smooth-talking con artist once pulled off the impossible — he sold the Eiffel Tower as scrap metal.
Yes, it actually happened.

After World War I, Paris was chaotic, the Eiffel Tower was expensive to maintain, and one man named Victor Lustig saw the perfect opportunity.
Disguised as a government official, he convinced scrap dealers that the tower was secretly being sold — and one of them fell for it.

The craziest part?
The victim was too embarrassed to report the scam… allowing Lustig to almost get away with it twice.

History’s most unbelievable con, told in under a minute.
