Thought best to report this story as I find similar situations on the internet. While taking my lunchbreak, I was asked by an Italian guy in a Vw-stationwagon with german licenseplat, who he had to drive to the nearest freeway to get to Rome/italy. Then he started telling about fahsion from Armani and asked me to guess the price of a costume which he showed to me. After that, he offered me the costume, but aksed if I could give him some money for gasoline as it was a long drive to Italy.
At that point, I still did not suspect anything, but when he became 'greedy' and looke at how much money was in my wallet... I gave him 75 euro's. Then he kept on asking If i could not give him more, as I was given a costume worth much more then 75 euros... Finally, I ended up in his car and gave him directions to the nearest gasstation, where he tried to convince me to get to a money machine for more... But now I was getting suspicious and told him I was already late for work and had to run. He gave me an extra coat for my girlfriend (some kind of leather material that has a smell like petrol after I packed it out at home) after I spend another 40 euro with my bankcard to fill up his tank with diesel... He kept asking again to go to the nearest money machine for more money, but i excused myself again and again that I was late for work.
Thinking afterwards about this situation - this guy was a smooth Italian boy that rides accross europe and tries to sell clothing that is probably not genuine/fake...
