RyanInBos snapped one of the signs management at Faneuil Hall Marketplace have put up to warn tourists against people in saffron monk's robes who hand out trinkets and then expect payment in return.

"These are not real monks," the signs warn. "They have been harassing our visitors - please do not encourage them by giving them money."

The faux monks have also flooded Long Wharf and the area in front of the New England Aquarium this summer.
