Complaint Review: Alta Moda Italiana An Italian Man Calling Himself Francesco

It happened on November 14th about 12h.
I was walking at rue de la Barre at Lyon. A black sedan stopped by me and 2 italian mans talked to me. The driver told me they was in trouble because they had been robbed of all the way of payment the day before and his bank in the US was closed because of the time difference. Also he said they had been to the italian embassy.

At first, the driver talked to me in english and italian but when i said i am japanese he spoke a little in japanese. He got out of the car and said he was a model and they had just finished a fashion exhibition in France. He showed his watch of BVLGALI, belt of D&G as well as suitcase of Louis Vuitton. According to him, his father is a president of a company and he has visited japan several times for the business with his father. Then he showed me some photos of him well dressed. Also he showed his italian passport(only the cover) and his driver's licence.

After that, he said he must take a flight for the US through the airport of Milano at 17h but he has 2 jackets with which he would be taxed at the airport so he said he wanted to give me the jackets. He took off the jackets (still with the cover of "V Attolini") which seem of very high quality then he tooked off a lighter and lit one of the jackets (look like of leather) to demonstrate that the jacket is fireproof. He persisted that he had bought them at about 3000euros. At first, i refused but he continued to ask me to receive it and finally i accepted. Finally he asked me to help them. I asked him to write what he wants to say on a sheet of paper to understand better his situation.(later i found that he had taken off the paper stealthily)

Since i owe him it, i asked him what i can do to help him. He asked me to lend him money for pay the price of the rent-a-car which they was driving and of its fuel showing me the bill of the rent-a-car. In exchange, he said he would give me back the money as i like by the bank transfer as soon as his bank is opend.

He wrote his name, address, telephone number on the other paper as the following.

FRANCESCO C di M
2011 w Beverly Blol 90210 Beverly Hills (CA) U.S.A
001-310-325-12-71 cell
001-325-804 84-61

I wrote my name, e-mail address, phone number and the number of the account of my bank in turn. In addition, he made me call his mobile phone whose number is 00393318203432 and i verified that his phone rang. Since he seemed really lost and i was satisfied with the jackets, i accepted his proposition and i went to a ATM with him to withdraw the money. When i passed him the asked money, he telephoned his "boss" and told him my name and the number of the account of my bank. He drove me to the university and we separated.

It was about 13h. Through this episode, the passenger remained generally in the car. He spoke a little in french when he talked with me.
The criminal is still free. Who can arrest him ? I don't know if the french police is looking into the matter.
