Lol I had this happen to me. About 3years ago at an HEB in the Vintage Park area in Houston/Klein area(249 and louetta). Guy said he was delivering them to strip clubs and had a few "extras" from the factory that he had no paperwork for. I just thought it was funny he was approaching people in the HEB parking lot. -
Aside from the sob stories, I really can't think of any scams that I'd been propositioned with. Can only think of two times I've been aware of anyone trying to sell a gun. First was in 03, in Las Vegas. Guy had an Enfield rifle (amongst other items) which he was selling out of his pickup... sort of flea market style, minus the flea market. I lost interest when I saw it was sporterized. Second was a month and change ago, in Houston. Guy was on the radio offering to sell another driver a 9mm (he didn't specify manufacturer or model).
Honestly.. I think the biggest scam is the Iowa 80. No, not at the Iowa 80 - the Iowa 80 itself is a massive scam with all the overpriced and useless crap they sell. -
Here's a way you can scam yourself into a good nights rest with out being jostled from your sleep by a lady ... er ... working gir... er lot lizard.
Take a couple of Kleenex, wad them up a bit, ad a squirt of Jergens hand lotion and leave the final product on the passenger side steps of your rig. It's sort of gross, but if you're in an infested TS this will send the message that this truck has already been serviced... so to speak.
This very method has been used for the last few decades by my Uncle and several of his friends while flat-bedding around this wonderful ... but sometimes sleazy ... country. I used it several times while driving for Stevens in 08. It really does work. The only time I was ripped out of deep sleep by a lot lizard was when she ... er ... he ... it was banging on my neighbor's truck. LOLRubber_Duck and Tcc_timbo Thank this. -

I find that when in prison it's better to use powdered soap. ...Takes longer to pick up.

If its sold in a truck stop parking lot, AVOID IT LIKE THE PLAGUE.
