Italian Fashion Designer - Giorgio Armani ripoff leather jackets Sydney Australia
This guy comes up to you speaking broken english .. but in italian. Wanting to sell you ARMANI COLEZNIONE leather jackets (3). Will show u passport, plane tickets, etc. and tells you that he is leaving town today (nite). He is a designer and will be paying tax as he leaves the country so wants to get rid off "original" jackets. Also give you a a booklet showing all the collection ranges. He says the the leather jackets has got genuine authentication tags on it and all.
Paid about $500 for all 3. Definetly a fake transaction as i found out someone here has reported the same situation EXACTLY!!! just a little change in story!

This guy is more than one guy. I have been in contact with another person who was taken down just the other day also, by a guy with a different description to the one I was got by.
Just beware of 3 things:
1. From Italy and needing your help
2. Driving a rental car
3. Showing passport/airline tickets/rental car stuff
If you cop that, then you know who you're dealing with. Notwithstanding all the other same characteristics - Works for Armani, leaving tonight, have to pay tax at customs when home, watch set to Italian time, wants you to buy three jackets in a single bag to "help him out", jackets are authentic Armani Collezioni, wants anywhere from $500-1000.
GET THE REGO NUMBER OF THE CAR. One sure way to find out who these guys are.
Don't get stung like we did.

Man, this dude gets around. From all the posts about this Italian guy with the same MO, passport, car rental forms, and plane tickets, all over the world, some kind of international criminal mastermind. What do you expect buying "expensive" items on the street, be it Armani jackets or Rolex watches.
