Ok, I have to say, he was the best actor I have ever met in my life. I lived in New York for years, and I have never fall for scams like this before, I guess I learned my lessons after all. It happed around 7pm-ish, I was at my car wash station in West Hollywood around Martel. I was just finishing up wash my car, this guy drove over in a Chrysler Pacifica (silver) rental car. He asked me if I speak Italian or French or Spanish. I asked him what was up. He said he got a gift for me. He pulled out 3 leather jackets said they were Armani jackets. I asked him why, he said he work for a big Italin modeling agency in Milan, he was here for a photo shoot for a few days. He went out party the night before with this Cuban girl, and she stole everything from him, so he had no money to return the rental car plus pay the import tax for the leather jackets which he got as a gift from the company.
He said his airline ticket is from Lufthansa, and it's a open ticket. He needs to return the car to get his ticket back from the rental place. I didn't believe him at the first, but his Italian was good and sounded native, he showed me his passport 3 times, ID and car rental receipts and all. He kept telling me that he will Western Union or wire the money to me as soon as he gets back. His name is Danilo Rippa. He also got his father on the phone, and the number he dialed was in Italy, and he also spoke perfect Italian on the phone. This guy almost cried in front of me. That got me believed him. So, I told him I will help him out. I gave him $400, and he gave the jacekts which I told him that I will mail to him after he gets back to Italy. After I came home last night, I retraced the steps a few times, and I knew I was ripped off. According to the site, I am not the only one here.
