Danilo Ripa ripoff, con artist, Italian fashion model, Ferrari Los Angeles California
I was approached by a youngish (early-to-mid 20s) Italian man, with brown hair, driving a nice car. He seemed distraught, and told me that he was "Danilo Ripa," the son of a designer for Ferrari cars and a fashion model for Armani, who was stranded in LA, and who needed cash to pay for his rental car. (His English was OK, but he had a strong accent). He offered me some leather jackets, which he claimed were Gucci, but which I learned later were knockoffs, in exchange for my help, and promised that his family would recompense me.
He was quite charming and seemed helpless; he persuaded me to give him a significant amount of money, and possibly got much of my personal info (SS #, address etc.) The police claimed to be totally unable to help me, as I had no information that could help in tracking him down.
Others have made similar reports on this website (one of them about a year old), so it's clear he's a total pro. I hope this will help others from falling victim to him and with luck he'll be brought to justice.

Yeah, the police don't seem to see how fast these crooks are. They don't want to file a report because it's a "business tranaction." Please tell the officer to pass your stories to the detective. I asked the officer on the phone if I can at least leave my information and story incase there are more complaints about this fraud (the catch 22 is there won't be if nothing is filed). The officer was nice to do that. Do a search on just "Danilo" at this website. He's been busy and I bet he's been targeting Asians as easy prey.
