In Vancouver, BC 5:15pm March 19, 2011 at Waterloo and W. Broadway. I had just come out of the bank and a guy pulled up in a new black Chrysler 300C drove up and stopped. He rolled down the window and told me he was lost and asked if I could give him direction to the airport. Well dressed and well spoken with an Italian accent. I gave him directions and he offered my a leather jacket to thank me. Thought he was very gracious and refused, he insisted and introduced himself as Aldo a representative from an italian company that sold high end leather jackets, Armani, Gucci, GA Milano, etc. Told me he had been in a show at the Convention Centre and had these samples (they were labelled sample) left and didn't really want to take them back to Italy. He then offered to give me the rest of the jackets he had if I were to buy one for $1500. I declined but eventually ended up giving him $300 for seven jackets. Two in a brown suede material and five black "leather" jackets, various styles. They were all wrapped in plastic with GA Milano lablels. They are not leather but rather what I'm told is referred to as "Pleather" made of a PLC derivative which actually feels, to my touch, very much like my good leather coat, (see how good my touch is)". Smooth talker, very personable, had a map of Vancouver on the dash and what looked like an airline ticket folder visibe/. He had an Italian passport in the compartment between the seats that showed he had been in Uruguay and Chile in the past month?. Very smooth". Felt like a dummy afterwards, but will offer them to some of my staff?. He is a w/m, 6" tall, 185 lbs, italian accent, dark hair, very well groomed and very well dressed.. I knew I had been ripped right after it happened, remembering the "if it is too good to be true, it is too good to be true" mantra.. I jumped on the computer and was floored to see the extent of this scam'. Reports from different Europe, USA and Canada that are very similar. 1283d3a  Comments (134) |
