Ewen Posted December 12, 2007 Share Posted December 12, 2007 Strange one this.... Guy knocks on his door and gives some sob story about having to get back to Italy fast due to family problems, has no money for the air fare but is willing to sell Dad in law four brand new Reportage jackets for £200, worth at least £700. He only went and did it:( Havent seen these jackets myself, so dont know if they are genuine or not, but this stinks no ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ivan Posted December 13, 2007 Share Posted December 13, 2007 Scammers like that used to hang around motorway service car parks pulling the same stunt. They must have moved on now that security has caught up with them. PS. So that's where she gets it from... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

carl0s Posted December 13, 2007 Share Posted December 13, 2007 This is such a well known scam. It usually happens inside service stations. They are not stolen items, sorry ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Havard Posted December 13, 2007 Share Posted December 13, 2007 Scammers like that used to hang around motorway service car parks pulling the same stunt. They must have moved on now that security has caught up with them. I had this about a year ago and some flash Iti' followed me round the car park in a Renault Megane...... Same old dodgy story seems to do the trick although I told him to f*ck off somewhere else...!! At least you have something to show for your scam with this one. Most people just fook off with your money! H. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carl_S Posted December 13, 2007 Share Posted December 13, 2007 lol, had the same thing with plasma screens. wonder why they pick service stations when there are CCTV? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlanM Posted December 13, 2007 Share Posted December 13, 2007 I have had this with a jacket guy in a service station, said I must have plenty of money cos I had a Supra. Told him that was why I had no money and f*** off Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
