I got tricked yesterday into buying jackets which i thought was armani collezioni. The brand of the jackets was "A Collezione".
It was 4:45pm, I was walking down at Kingsway just past Safeway when an Italian guy driving a Jeep called me and was asking for help because he needs to go back to Italy but his problem was he has 8 jackets which he can't bring with him in italy because they will be taxed. He said he works in the conventional center somewhere in Downtown Vancouver and he just finished work, and his boss gives jackets to his employees if they did well in work. So he asked me if we could talk, i was already hesitant and i really wanted to leave him at that time. But i was afraid, cause i was thinking he had a gun or something he could use to hit me with or what. So we talked he said he was from italy and wanted to go home, he showed me his passport, business card, and he showed me that he was renting his vehicle from avis. He asked me if i know Girogio Armani, i said yes. He said that he would give me 8 jackets at the price of one. He said one jacket costs 1200 - 1300 dollars in the store. But i didnt have that much money. But i really wanted to help him. So i asked him to drive me home since i lived nearby, he seemed like a good person and was honest. When we arrived home i let my dad talk to him about the jackets and my dad said that he only has 350 dollars with him. The italian looked worried because it was a small amount of money compared to the original price of the jackets according to him. He looked very convincing. He was talking and explaining and showing us the jackets. He took a lighter and tried showed us that the leather doesn't burn. We were looking for the Armani Collezioni sign in the jackets but there was only "A/Collezioni" and others do not have signs. We thought that the sign meant armani collezioni. We ended up paying him 350 dollars for 4 jackets. Man that guy got was smooth and very convincing. I wish i've read articles like this one before i met the guy.
But the jackets look good though. But what's frustrating about it is the fact that i was deceived and bought jackets which i thought was armani collezioni. Now i dont think i want to wear the jackets.
For others who are reading this, beware of an Italian guy around 24 - 30 yrs of age selling jackets...
