Fake Leather Jacket Pedlder, Empori Emporio Jacket Ripoff Gaithersburg Maryland
Please help us locate the jacket bandit! I was fixing my truck when an Italian guy came rolling by in a rented ford mustang. While smoking heavily he said that he had just finished a fashion show in Tysons II and needs to pay for the car rental which is $400. He said he is leaving for Italy the same day and if he brings all the merchendise back they would charge him taxes. To help him out I bought the jackets. I was excited that I could help someone and come to find out when I
got home the jackets were fake.
Please help us in finding this ungrateful thief. He is now driving a 2006 Ford Mustang and showing his ticket to everyone.

I was driving a car, and he stopped me and asked me if I was Italian or spoke any Italian so I answered NO, then he ask me for directions to the airport, so I started explaining to him and then told to follow me so I can show him the road, easier.... Then he stopped me again saying he works for Emporio Armani and he has some gifts he wants to give me, since he can't take'em with him to italy, thinking it was nice I followed the guy, so he showed me the jackets he had in the back seat of a Thrifty rented Grand cherokee, and said he's returning to Italy the same day, if I was interested in getting them to help him with the car rental money, and showing that they're Emporio Armani jackets that could go for $400/piece... he asked me $200 for both, then came down to $150, then I said all I had was $100, so he gave me the two jackets, I didn't think then, cause I felt something's wrong when I asked him if he needed directions still and he said NO!!! after he left, I just knew it was a scam without even bothering to check if the coats were real Emporio Armani's, but didn't really care since I paid only $100 for 2 jackets, both look nice, but still it was disgusting, I mean I ws helping the guy out while he was working on scamming me, I just hope he won't be able to scam any more people.
This happened 2 days ago, in Boston MA, the guy was driving a new thrifty Rental Grand cherokee, black hair, somewhat tan and skinny, nicely dressed in a suit and tie, about 5' 7", with a strong italian accent, he will show you a business card with armani, hugo and even valentino logos on it, so be careful.
I hope this information is helpful to put an end to his scam, Thanks.
