Skank at the California Wawa....

[xobxdoc]

....desperately needs to reach her daughter in Waldorf. She is parked at one of the pumps with her boyfriend but is in need of someone to give her gas. Do people still fall for this?

Had a man do this to me at Shoppers In San Souci the other day, said wife at WaWa out of gas, he left his wallet, money credit cards, drivers license at home, I ask him if he was asking me for money, yes he replied, I of course said no and ask him, by the way, if your drivers licenses are at home, why are you out driving, got in my car, locked doors and drove away, and yes the axxhxxes are still trying this scam. Hope no one falls for this.

Just yesterday, young black man and his "mom", needed desperately to get to VA. At the Quik Stop on GMR.

I had a different twist on this happen to me a couple of weeks ago at a business on GMR. A woman approached me, asking for only a dollar or two, showing me a couple other bills in her hand, telling me she just got off work at NESEA/Webster Field (don't remember which term she used) and needed to buy a quart of oil for her car in order to get home. I declined. She approached another person who also declined. She then got in her car and drove away. She wasn't dressed like the 98% of women who work at NESEA normally dress...

I've seen that approach before. Woman hit me up in front of CVS crying that she needed medicine and only had this much (showed me a bunch of singles) and only needed 3 more dollars. I told her to go inside, get the prescription and I'd pay the balance. She followed me in, stooped over to fix her sock, I turned my back and she was gone.

That's happened to me once before back in TN but not here. It would really scare me to see someone suddenly appear while I was in the drive thru.

Once someone approached me at Target asking if I would give him half as much cash as what was on his Target refund or gift card. He even offered to go to the cashier with me.

.....who CAN'T find stuff to buy from Target? I thought it was too weird.

Is the skank giving them out or does she make her boyfriend?

[vraiblonde]

Like the durhards who fall for email scams, I'd like to punch anyone who gives these panhandlers money right in the throat.

Thanks, you #######s, for encouraging these scammers and emboldening them so the rest of us have to dodge them.
