Avoiding a scam at the Grocery store this morning...

[rwjr]

Reminds me of this

That's what I was thinking of too

 

[Bozzie]

So im up early getting provisions for the weekend and as I return to car a guy gives me the

"I ran out of gas and need a buck or 2" story.

Now normally I just say I dont have cash, which I didnt have any this morning
BUT
since he sounded sincere, I figured I would help the brother out

Told him we can go to the gas station a block away and Ill buy him a gallon to get back home, but I have to put it on my CC.....then asked "Where are you parked?"

He gave me some nonsense answer and went on to the next person in the lot......the MOFO didnt even have a car...lol
No matter how sincere the person sounds they are a virtual lock to be scamming.

Someone almost scam you outa 3 bucks?
A WHOLE 3 dollars for a gallon of gas...

phew man, you really dodged a bullet here.

thanks for the heads up.

In addition to the scammers, you have the ungratefuls. You give them a dollar or even five dollars and they look at it and frown and ask for more.

2 Stories from 10+ years ago...I was at the gas station and a couple pulls up in a raggedy ass car needing $5 for gas money.

But instead of outright begging the guy is like I got some Cd's and Ill give you one for the gas money.
One of the CD's turned out to be Collision Course DVD, so I took it , it was this...watched that thing at least a dozen times
I got the best of that transaction...lol

Another time this punk ass teen needed $5 and I say I wont give it to you but I will give you $5 for your hat
( I didnt want the hat, just wanted to see how much he really needed the fiver)
He hem hawed and told me how his brother gave him the hat, blahh blah....but I said that is the deal.
He relented so I gave him the $5 and he gave me the hat.....on the way out the store I gave him his hat back.

Here is a good one that I just remembered.

Im at a gas station in a hoody part of town and a brother comes onto the lot with a Rug
( like Clemenza in the Godfather...ha) and a "booklet" with a shit ton of CD's

He is looking for $40 for the whole lot. I dont want or need the rug so I offer him $20 for the Cd's as there are so many that I was sure I could find several good ones in there and sell/pawn the rest and probably STILL break even.

I get back to the house to review my score and did really well, lots of good ones.
This is MOSTLY white people music, including some country stuff....but then it hits me like a ton of bricks.

He wasnt selling me HIS Cd's, he sold me stolen Cd's

Throwing pennies out of a car window and a homeless guy..sad.

This guy is a parents basement away from the street most likely.

Nah I never had to learn to not be a prick like that .
It just came natural for me to be decent towards other people .
Especially those that are in a bad way .

But congrats I guess for learning not to be a dick later on in life

I’m mean you gotta be fucked up to take someone’s Lincoln Park CD because they can’t afford gas

Sorry, but the guy who was fkd up was the guy selling stolen cds to get high. Spend enough time in any city and you see these junkie games all the time. Keep that border open. Keep that fentanyl coming. Our cities are falling apart.
