I was just a victim of these two Italian gentlemen. They approached me in the Bank of America parking lot. I didn't understand a word they were saying, so i approached their passenger window thinking they just needed directions. The driver, who did all the talking, told me he didn't speak english. What i made out from his words was that he just came from some fashion convention, and wanted to get rid of some samples. He said that if he takes it to Italy, he would have to pay some high tax. Also, he was saying that he needed money to pay for the car he rented because he lost some money at the Bay101 casino. He was well dressed, very polite, and his emotion seemed pretty genuine. He wanted me to pay 600 dollars for 4 jackets, which he said was the price of half a jacket. I never heard of the jacket brands before which made me refuse the 600 dollars offer. He then looked really desperate and lowered the price to 300 dollars which made it even more fishy. He started throwing in more jackets which was pretty funny. After 15 minutes he seemed like his eyes were tearing up, so he took out his cross necklace, swore upon God, kissed the necklace, and then kissed myself on the cheeck. Being a strongly religious person, there is no way I could refuse him. I gave him the 300 dollars, and they asked for 20 dollars more for dinner. Sure why not, i already gave him 300 dollars, what's another 20? I stored the jackets in the trunk because they smelled funny, and took them immediately to Goodwill.
If he was willing to go that far, then he deserves the money.
To the bigger build Italian Gentleman with glasses:
Your friend in the passenger seat didn't really do anything, so you shouldn't split it with him. For the record, You didn't take it from me, I gave it to you. You need it more than I do. God bless and Take care.
