He Almost Sold the Eiffel Tower?! 🗼💸 The Real Con That Fooled Paris in 1925 | #History #FactZap
In one of the boldest scams in history, con artist Victor Lustig tricked scrap metal dealers into believing the Eiffel Tower was being dismantled.
It was 1925. He posed as a French government official, claiming the city could no longer afford the tower’s maintenance.
He invited bids. Took the money. And vanished.
The Eiffel Tower — yes, the Eiffel Tower — was nearly lost to fraud.
This isn’t fiction. It actually happened.
So the next time you hear something unbelievable… maybe it’s worth a second look.
