Actually I came across something similar a long time ago. In my case it was a person in the street, an Italian who said he was stranded in my country of Northern Europe and did not have enough cash to pay for his gas to return to Italy and would let me have Armani suits for a very good price off the back of his car ... Even though I was still a teen in my late years, I smelled something was off, said sorry and went on my way without turning back.
