Armani Coat Scam going around
I was parked at south Center this afternoon when these two guys with thick Italian accents pulled beside me asking for directions to get to the airport, so I helped them out and we made some small talk. They went onto tell me they were with a company that designs coats for Armani and they had some samples they didn't want to take back to Italy.
Instant alarm bells....
So they showed me these "great leather coats" and told me I could buy 4 "samples" for $700. They showed them to me and honestly they were actually nice but all I could hear was "white van scam" in my head. I knocked the guy down to $250 for 3 of them and told him I needed to transfer money on my ipad and would go to the ATM at the willow park shell.
So I Googled Fake Leather jacket scam with the guy right there, sure enough the same AE Emporio a Collezione scam popped up and I asked him to come over and showed him that someone else bought all 5 coats for $200 and asked him to match the price...while a YouTube video of the same scam going down was playing for him
Hey just went quiet and left.....
But tell everyone you know, someone somewhere will fall for this.
