Young guy pulls up in a late model Escalade trying to sell a home theatre system.
I thought what kind of driver wants a theatre system for a house in their truck, figured it was a rich kid selling his dad's #### for drugs.FerrissWheel, Dominick253 and blairandgretchen Thank this. -
Any truckstop restaurant, minimum 20 bucks to sit down and eat. Doesn't usually matter how small the meal is. If it actually fills you up, then your looking at $30.

How about the usual my families in the car we are visiting sick relatives, on vacation or at moms funeral and ran out of gas. Amazing how many people run out of gas at truckstops. LOL! Had guys try and sell home theater systems, tablets, tarps, chains and binders, money for baby formula etc etc. The list goes on and on. LOL

I was sitting at a truck stop close to the airport and a Italian guy driving a rental car pulls up infront of me and gets out.
Starts telling me he was here from Italy for the fashion show and shows me a airline reservation ticket for Italy leaving in 2 hours.
He starts to show me all these designer suits and jackets he was given at the show as he's a buyer for some "fashion house" in Italy.
Claims he doesn't need the stuff and dosent want to pay the duty taxes on the stuff back in Italy as the taxes would be more than the stuff was worth.
I knew he was full of #### and let him go on and even tried some of the jackets on for over a hour with no intention of giving him any money.
So he gets around to asking for some money. I looked at him with a surprised look and said "money I don't have any money, I thought you were giving me the stuff."
The look on his face was priceless.Oldironfan, Ketchikan baby, mnmover and 10 others Thank this. -
$20 for Bee Pollen enegry pills that all truck stops put on their counters. yea, I fell for that BS useless fake product. No such thing as a wonder drug. Don't buy it.

The most popular one I've found is bums saying they've ran out of gas or are stranded and need food money or money for a broken car part.
I don't wear jewelry but one time I bought a "$500 gold necklace" for $20 from a guy who knocked on my door, I brought it home and went to a "cash for gold" store, they looked at it inside the store and wouldn't even give me $1 because it was worthless junk metal.LumbraX, Dominick253 and blairandgretchen Thank this. -
Yeah the worst panhandlers are the guys who use a pregnant girl friend as the bait to get money, with the boyfriend hanging out a few hundred feet away watching her. She claimed to be homeless with a big smile on her face, but her clothes looked like they just came out of the dryer.
Seen another who really had that sun baked homeless look, walk out of a Pilot in OKC, with a $9 6pk of imported beer in his hand as he walked back to the woods. Figured that guy had it made, just get money for beer all day, sleep some more, get more money, get more beer. What a life!Dominick253 and blairandgretchen Thank this. -
I do not think they are scams truckstops are just evil.
