Complaint Review: ALFONSO MELOLA

Approaced by Alfonso driving a purple PT Cruiser with a damaged bumper, asked if I spoke Italian. Said he blew all his money at the casino and needed to pay for rental car. He showed me his plane ticket, passport, etc.

Offered to Western Union money back to me if I loaned him $185.00. Told me he finished fashion show and had leftover items. He offered to give them to me.

I was doubtful and asked why he just didn't ditch the rental car. He grabbed his cross on his neck and told me that he followed Jesus and please help him.

I gave him the money...and felt like an idiot when I found this site. Has someone called a consumer awareness group??
