Just as everyone else me, and mostly my buddy, were had. Pulling into the whole foods grocery parking lot, 2 men, and a woman pulled up next to him, offering cheap home speakers or something. The SUV was a black expeditionn or explorer, (I'm not good with cars) with FLORIDA liscence plates, but he claimed it was his boss's car.
I had already parked, so he parked next to me and the scammers a few spots down. We looked at his loot, and he gave us some bs story about how his factory in Dallas gave them too much stuff, and instead of having to give the extra equipment to their boss, who had already gotten a $8000 plasma screen tv, they wanted to sell it to someone "cool" instead of their punk ass boss.
After bargaining and explaining for about 15 min. (note*- he said he had to drop it off in about 20 min.), we started to walk away, claiming we only had $250 as opposed to the $600 he wanted.
As we walked to the store, a younger, prolly mid-20's jumped out of the SUV and said somthing to the likes of accepting the $250. Even though I sure as hell didn't want the speakers, my buddy accepted them, and the con followed us inside and took the $250 after going to the ATM, after which he asked for 20 bucks for some beer, where we said no.
