    I saw some guys running the 3 card monte scam just the other day at the loves in Richmond, IN. First time in a long time I've seen it.

    I grew up in Northern New Jersey and New York City was basically our playground… So we learned about three card Monty as kids and to stay away from it… But a sucker is born every minute… Maybe more than one

    I was walking along Lamar Ave in Memphis yesterday. Very busy road. Of course a car pulls up and stops traffic and asks if I want to make some money. I politely declined. Would have been impolite if I was armed LOL

    Approached at a rest area one time . He told me to come around the trailer at the same time that I was saying "I think NOT " !!!!!! Simply amazes me why people feel the lure of supposedly easy money . People that get scammed deserve it . Can't fix stupid.

Man i guess im just to much of a dick to ppl scammers dont even want to mess with me. I just dont get how some ppl get scammed by ####. U got all kinds of guys running rackets . how long has that doofus sellikg fake cologne at the ta in redding been there?

    Guy selling essential oils in a truck stop parking lot. Had the balls to have his kid in the car.
    I’ll admit I thought it COULD have been legit. He had some clothing for sale as well. Had bought it from Walmart and was trying to charge 10x the value.
    The essential oils were NOT I took a wiff and if you put them on your skin it would be bad. I told him to F off and I didn’t see him till the next morning only he was at the TA that time
