Russian term or phrase: Аферюги
Помогите, пожалуйста, перевести этот термин, который в данном случае используется для обозначения нелегальных парковщиков, собирающих с людей деньги за возможность припарковаться на Белорусском вокзале. Вот это место в ролике: https://youtu.be/RYwVglRTX2o?t=4m3s

- Чем больше мы ездим на парковку Белорусского вокзала, тем отчетливее понимаем, что интерес к данным аферюгам испытываем только мы (т.е. правоохранительные органы не испытывают).
