I was rushing to my work. Then on my way to the Train station a Men pull over on a silver car. He stated Abla spaol o Italiano Do you speak Spanish or Italian I said both. He started explaining to me that he came to visit his friend at South Boston but he wasnt there and didnt answer the phone. Now he is in a rush to the Logan International Airport and told me that he Had 4 Leather Jackets that he didnt want to take back to Italy were he is original from. He started telling me that he works for a Fashion show at Italy and is representative of the Leather Emporio Armani Leather jacket collection. Since am a good listener I forgot that I was late to work and I keep listening. He said I am form Italia, I am here visiting my friend but unfortunately he wasnt home, now I have this Emporio Armini leather jackets and I dont want to take them back with me, each of them is worth $400 USA dollars. Money is not a problem with me, I have plenty. But I need to sale them right away before I leave to the airport. I dont want to sell it to any white people because am Italian and they are all racist. I would prefer to sale it to a Latino person or Italian but I cant find any. Then he started asking me questions Do you work? I reply Yes, I work for the City Of Boston. He said Nice Them I told him I will ask my friend to see what he says about this jackets. He stated No dont make Advertising out this situation am in a rush to the airport, If you want it say yes or I will keep looking for some one else. So I decided to buy them. I told him. I dont have the money with me I need to go to am ATM, he said I be more than happy to take you. After that we went to the ATM machine I withdraw my money and went back to his car, he stated Here is my phone number and this is my e-mail. He showed me his Italian passport and his name then he was like My name is Angelo D. Fronti please email me and the next time I come here you can show me more of the city, also here is my number 011-39-###-#####). Then I say can you bring me back to the place were you met me so I can leave this jackets in my house. He say Of curse no problem. After that we arrived next to my house I was getting out of the car and he said is there anyone in your House there was no one but I said, of curse my angry sister and her boyfriend, they protect me very well from strangers. Well I must go he stated. I told him, since you are going this way can you give me ride am going in the same direction as you 5 blocks away in the train station. He then told me Sorry but am in a rush to the airport and I must go I cant wait for you anymore. I am not a taxi. Then he left and I felt that I must have purchased something to good to be truth. No I came to my house after work and search the website that he told me to check. www.emporioarmani.it For some reason the type of jackets he sold me werent there. I did a research and found out that this is a guy that is doing scams on the streets. I feel uncomfortable; the Jackets are beautiful and nice looking so make sure you watch out for this guy.
