I know haha, I had an Arab dude try this on me recently but he drove up in a new luxury SUV saying he needed gas money to get to the airport while I was walking into a friends house. He put a bunch of gold jewelry in my hands and I had to keep handing it back to him. He said he was from Dubai and this is on the West Coast, nowhere near where this video happened so they must have a script or all use the same story. I was laughing about it with my friends afterwards like "How does a rich guy from Dubai need gas money?" People are stupid, I can't believe people fall for this.
@@andrewnight4860 We have them in my city too, this guy was obviously not one of them. I have a big beard and brown skin, so he thought I was an akhi. He started talking to me in fluent Arabic until I replied in English and he looked hella surprised then switched languages...
@@dewilew2137 I didn't trust him that much.. how they approached I really wanted to help... so I made them drive me around to get gift cards cause I told them I couldn't pull out more than 100 from my card .. as we're driving they're getting comfortable and slipping... But I played anyway cause they were looking sad(black love). He gave me a bunch of gold and a fake rolex diamond watch.. I told him I don't want it I just wanted to help.. And that's when I gained control of the game.. He couldn't believe how I just snatched the game from him. So I ended up making them comfortable ( a man, a younger man and a child). Listen to music side banter and shit. I then told him I'll give him 2bandz.. So we drive for gift cards. After giving him 980 in gift cards and cash, I told them I was tired, and since they missed their plane anyway I have to get rest then un the morning ill give them the rest.( their whole thang was they were a family, dad and 2 sons. And somebody stole the dads wallet, and they had a plane to catch to Dubai that night in 2 hours. So they needed some money to book another flight in person, cause he didn't have his passport and ID.. ). As I'm going out the car he's begging me to take the jewelry, literally but I'm like no I'm just helping ill see you tommorow what's ya number? He gave me the number in the morning. I called him to meet by a pawn shop but he didn't know it was a pawnshop nearby. I got in the car, and told him take out the jewelry and let's go over there so I can sell it for you.. he broke down.. silent. So I told him give me back everything or ima beat you and your son ass.. they left the lil boy that day ... so they kept giving me sad storys ... till they realized I wast going and they talked amongst themselves and gave me back my money.. they still owed a 100 in cash.. so when I got out I took a picture of their plates and texted it to him.. And he cash apped me the 100 right away.
I think I got hit today 😠 What is wrong with these people? Stuff like this is why a lot of other people who really need help can't get it. Caz nobody trusts people anymore
I just fell for this scam. I’ll never ever give anything to anyone ever again because of him !!!!! It will be all I can do to stop myself from punching the next person that asks me for money in a parking lot. My days of trusting people is now gone forever.
Lol I used to do that b4 they could ask me.....I be like hey man you got a dollar or some loose change...lol they face b awesome they be like man I was just bout to ask you 😂
Just got encountered by some dude while working with my step dad. He said he needed gas and my step dad offered him gas since he always has gas to fuel his equipment. He said that it wasn't enough gas and that he should just get some money in exchange for his 24 carat gold watch and rings, my step dad said no thank you and we got away from the scammer. I then searched up this scam to see if he really was a scammer and found this video. I'm so glad we trusted our instincts.
This happened to me today off of 95 in NC. I had the feeling that this was bullshit but what made me angry about the situation is the man had his children in his car. Shameless.
Exactly the same with me, wife kids and one new born, in the back sit, it happened one time in Los angles, one time in Utha. Many are Indians from India they come as a tourist scam people and go back. They bring all these fake jewelries with them, if they raise 20K it goes a long way in India it's like 1 million dollar in their country.

The bible compares our life to a vapor that quickly disappears, or a plant that is here today and gone tomorrow. Do you think about what happens after you are gone? Where is your soul going? Have you heard of a place called heaven and a place called hell? Today I want to urge you to surrender your life to God. Salvation is gifted to us from God out of pure love. All we need to do is believe and follow Jesus Christ. This scripture sums it up. For God so loved the world that He sent His only begotten Son, that whoever believes on Him should not perish but have everlasting life. John 3:16 Turn your life over to Christ today, tomorrow may be too late. If you have any comments or questions feel free to ask me.
Lol for real, I just had a brand new 4runner pull pull up on me and ask for a full tank of gas and the next day a brand new Durango pulled up and asked the same
I’ve gotten scammed like this. I was doing it out of kindness. Didn’t even want the guys jewelry although he insisted I take it anyway. Gave him $200 bucks. I still did not want the jewelry, was genuinely trying to help the guy. That made me never want to help anyone ever again.
Happen to me today. And just so happens I get this in my feed. The lord works in mysterious ways. I gave they guy 200 as well for 2 chains and bracelet and ring. The way I see it karma will catch up with him .
Same this literally just happen to me I didn’t want his jewelry either but he insisted and gave me the ring I just wanted to be kind since I made extra money from overtime gave him $40 he drove off this video made me not want to help again either it’s wicked when you’re kind to people they do this
I feel the same way. I didn’t want the jewelry , just to help. I figured it was fake, but they seemed so needy. I don’t even wish ill on them. Actually, I hope that they learn before someone who is not nice does something bad to them for their trickery. I’ll justify it as my charitable deeds for a while 😣
These are hilarious!! Lmao. Keep giving these people your money and keep the videos coming. Anyone that does this has to have been dropped on their head about 300 times when they were a baby. Who gives $130,000 worth of jewelry for $2500? It is almost your fault for being greedy.
Exactly ! that’s the draw they know they would fail because they’re greedy the dude gave him 2500 thinking he would make bank back he wasn’t going to “return it “ and just get his 2500 back 😂 his greedy self got him
People really fall for this? If the guy has all this valuable gold and a Rolex Watch he should go to the pawn shop himself. Besides you're not a road side service. If you want to help call the State Police for him.
I’ve actually been scammed like this and told the dude to go pawn it or something and their excuse was that the black people at the pawn don’t like them and they they were scared of blacks
@@Mustycerveza2000 If u weren't racially bias you would of said go to the white people pawn shop then. But no u believed his comical story about black people not accepting him. That's why he got yo Dumb a$$ 😂😂😂
I met one of these guys today. Wondering how a well-mannered, well-dressed foreign tourist doesn't have a cell phone or a wallet, and is out of gas. That's a whole lot of bad luck for one day.
I was at Walmart today and guy in a Mercedes immediately pulled up as I was getting my kids out. He acts distressed but thankful that I'm hearing him out and goes into some long sob story about his daughter getting beaten up and this,that, and the other. Im sitting there waiting for him to tell me what he wanted but he's yammering on and on about stuff I don't care about. My kid started crying and I told him I had to take care of him and he just drove off without even bothering to ask for a couple bucks or anything. He must be conditioned to run his full scam in the same format and if he's interrupted he'll just abort and look for a new victim.
Don't they kill you with the big 💰💰Car the one scamed me with the baby sleeping in a $40.000 Jeep Grand Cherokee I need gas & I'm sitting in a 1990 Volvo WGN in Walmart 😂🤔
I had the same experience, the guy had his son in back seat sleeping. He told me his son was hungry & he needed gas money. He also claimed he was from Dubai. He tried to give me gold jewelry, but I lied and told him I didn’t have any money on me. Never trust a guy driving a Benz asking for money lmao.
Wow. This just happened to me yesterday. I came here right away when I found out that the 18k gold ring I was given by a family from Dubai was actually fake. I only lost of $80, but either way, I feel horrible that I fell for this scam. These people need to be stopped.
Same thing happened to me friday, wander if it was the same guy. Driving black/light black 2020 buick encore California plates 8RCP978 he kept giving me more and more rings and chains...and I gave in. said he was from dubai lived in california that his bank card wasnt working and needed help getting home and an adult female and child in the car as well took my name and number saying he would call me in 2 days to pay it back. At least in my case the local pd got a hit on the plates being a hertz rent a center car.
Eso mismo me paso y estaba con un niño complice que rogaba qie les ayude en un carro y decian que eran de Dubai,ojala que los policia los metan presos.
@@ctrosper86 September 18th 2022 Got me too Port Saint Lucie Florida turnpike gas station. Don't feel bad these people are professionals, They play the part like a scripted Hollywood movie And it's working
this scam has been around for years. I remember being 18 years old, pulling up to the gas station and a man approached me claiming a similar situation, pointing at his car and saying I'm out of money I have my kids with me please take my ring and u can pay me whatever you have. I told him ok here is 20$. he said no more please. I said "no that's enough to fill ur tank so why would u need more" he tells me it's worth 4k I said ok well the pawn shop is right there and pointed at it within walking distance. He said he had no i.d. so I told him it's fine ill pawn it for you. He begins to get frustrated and stormed off always trust your gut, if it feels wrong or off it's because it is, don't trust it...
Thanks you that happened to me then fucker scammed me off 60 bucks and the ring was brass. Lol he made it sound so good. I felt it off cuz they wanted more . dont they believe in karma. Sonz a bitches
Dude I fell for that scam once it was a man with his family they had a nice Chevy SUV and he sold me a fake gold necklace and a wrist, I tried to sell it to the pawn shop, and I got really upset, and yesterday during work an Arab looking man tried to sell me a fake ring and I told him I had only a card, he burned off, I'm tired of those scammers taking advantage of caring people.
@@scourgeofhell626 krama will take care of him. But hay think of it this way, you paid to learn a very important life lesson.

And your blessings will come back to you in doubles cuz you tried to do what was right
I experienced this for this first time today. Saw some guy on the road in a suit. He waved me down to pull over. Looked worried. I pulled over, put my window down and soon as he approached the car, I looked at his van that had kids crying in it with other people. My brain told me LEAVE NOW GET OUT OF HERE. left asap cuz I got a really bad vibe. The happened in Queens NYC
This happened to me and I am really disappointing that there are people still out there doing this because I thought I was genuinely helping this guy who said he had money but he lost his wallet and he had two young babies with him in a woman who claims to be his wife using them as prompts. I am a pastor and tried to help. I am ashamed to say how much I was taken for but it won’t change my heart about helping the needy. Just more careful now. I do have his picture for whatever good that is.
Hey man they got me for $800 yesterday. He had kids in the car and the girl was crying.. I felt sick when I googled “ guy from Dubai with kids and Rolex” or something of the sort and saw this RUclips video
I’m an attorney and I fell for this yesterday. I’m pretty sure that they actually followed me from the doctors office. I take my elderly grandmother to her doctor appointments and I now believe that’s where they targeted me. Same exact script. These people are sick.
Happened to me today. I told the guy jewelry and reimbursement was unnecessary. He said I would be insulting him by not accepting them. I gave him $300 not quite sure why he felt the need to push the con.
If you search for @flaviusviss on TikTok, you'll find those guys. They are posting videos all the time while preparing for their schemes or even from inside the car when one of them is pulling over other cars.
This happened to me, but I only lost $240! I'm PISSED! He said he lost his wallet, and needed to get back to LA. He offered me a Rolex if I would go to the ATM and get $500. I'm stuck with a fake ring, and a necklace! I'm a IDIOT!!! His first words were " THIS IS YOUR LUCKY DAY!"
@@rebeccaescobar6167 One of these days I hope they get caught! The gal at the jewelry shop took one look, and said FAKE! I was the 4th person to bring in fake gold that day!
I literally just had this happen about two hours ago in Channahon Illinois. Dude was with his wife and two kids in the back of a black Tahoe, whole Dubai story as well. I ended up giving them $400… Man I feel like an idiot lol

This just happened to me today in miami, FL. Two middle eastern guys, said they were from Dubai & lost wallet. Got scammed into giving them money and they gave me a (obviously fake) Rolex. Should’ve called police but felt like I was in danger. Be safe and just say no to strangers!
Yup, still happening 😮 Thanks partner to this video I didn't get caught up in it. I turned the deal down and called him on it. Thank you for making this video... Buyer Beware 🤔
That's dumb. I bought a Cuban chain for $200 appraised for $7000. Sometimes people steal real jewelry and pawn it for pennies on the dollar..... You got to know what to look for when dealing with fake gold. Pawn shops and jewelers get rich off desperate people
I had this happen during Christmas a few years ago. I wasn't even trying to keep the gold, he just sounded like he was really in need and trying to get to a flight and I felt bad so I gave 100 bucks. But he insisted I kept the gold.
I just got scammed by that man. My values were to take care of his family and his needs to go back to California. I should have known but I will be careful next time by these people. This hurts after giving them the last of what I had saved up.
So me and my dad were going to Virginia last weekend. We went to at a rest stop and this man in a car pulled up to us, claimed he was from Dubai and he actually had his wife and kid in the car with him to. Same exact story, lost wallet, needs money, and even gave us the two 18k carat gold rings and a chain. He said he was trying to make it to florida and we fell for it, it seemed very real considering his wife was crying and he kept saying he has a kid with him etc. yeah really a shame. Can’t trust people
It's nice to help people who are genuinely stranded maybe even give them a few bucks but definitely not in the hundreds or thousands stay safe and protect yourself
Greed. He wanted to scam the scammer by taking advantage of the scammer's unfortunate circumstance and get his gold for dirt cheap, instead he got got.
If one is giving hundreds or thousands, they are typically not genuinely concerned about the person, as much as they are in the apparent gain for themselves.
I got scammed from this similar trick since I was a person who was caring and gullible. Now I see this experience as a expensive life lesson and have the fake Rolex as a reminder to not trust strangers
This happened to my friend. He was excited to show me a gold necklace and bracelet a guy sold him just like this for over $200. I later saw them at TJ Maxx for $19.99 each. Good plate looks so real.
He's not a good man he got scammed because he tried to get something for nothing. If you're dumb enough to think you'll get a $100,000 rolex, 2 rings and a chain for 2500, you deserve to get scammed
Lol me in long beach ... I have em 20$ out of my heart and he didn't want it he wanted more supposedly he wasn't from here and he had no gas w a big ass chain.... Fake!!!!! Lol
This happened to me yesterday, a guy from BMW SUV approached me and claiming that he’s from Dubai and that he’s a millionaire over there, showed his family and and asked for money claiming they were visiting from Dubai drove to California from Florida and they ran out of cash. The only reason why I gave them money is because I felt bad for the kids. I gave him $115 and he just hand out his necklace and ring as a token of appreciation. Beware guys, they’re here in Los Angeles County
Yeah, count me in as one who got "got". SMH. Happened about an hour ago at a Walmart here in Cleveland Ohio. I'm a trucker & this guy rolled up on me when I walked outside. Gave me the whole spill about being low on gas & needing money for food & enough to make it back to Florida. Even had Florida tags smh. Wife & 3 kids in the back as well. They got me for $850 (2 chains & a bracelet). Pissed AF & the kicker is I had my ole lady on the phone with me telling me not to do it the entire time.
Sorry, long story here. I'm actually really disheartened, because this happened to me today. Guy approaches as I'm pumping gas. He says he's from Dubai. Now, I happen to speak Arabic, so I ask him "oh, tahki arabi?" (Do you speak Arabic?) And he replies "yes yes" and so then i go on for a few sentences, but he keeps replying in English, which I find strange, but then, since I'm not a native speaker, I think "oh, he must hear my accent or something" so eventually I switch back to English. He's got 3 females in the back, 2 who look like they're 12, one who looks like the mother, and there's a boy who looks about 16 in the front. I guess he caught on to the fact that I found it strange that he wasn't speaking Arabic with me, and as an explanation for his lack of fluency in Arabic, he says "my mother is Arab, but my dad is Bosnian" to which I think "okay, sounds plausible". He says he's on his way to his brother's house in Florida and that people stole $3000 from him, and that the police couldn't help him. He then says "but my family isn't poor, look, here's my watch. My family is made of millionaires" and he starts pointing to his watch and necklace, which I'm uninterested in. He tries to offer them as collateral, but I'm a Sikh, i take my religion very seriously, and we believe in helping people whenever we can. So i tell him not to worry about the necklace, we can work out the details later. I agree to pay for the gas, and i proceed to fill the car up. The car was empty, and when combined with the fact that he had me call his phone, which had a florida area code, it seemed to corroborate the story that he's from Florida. So I'm about to leave, and he's like "brother, we need food, my kids are hungry, please help my children". Initially, I said "that's all I can do now" and he says "please, my kids need to eat, can you give us $60 so that we can eat?". I give in, and go inside to the ATM, get the money, and give it to him. He puts his forehead to my hand they all say thank you, and they left. However, something just didn't feel right. He said he'd call me tonight to talk about repayment, and he never called of course. I typed in "I'm from Dubai and need gas money" into Google, and sure enough, found out I was scammed. It made me upset because now I just don't know when I should trust people. When should I ignore the pleas of someone on behalf of their alleged children? At the end of the day, I have decided to let it be with God, I can't do anything anyway. I know that my heart was in the right place. In the moment, I just couldn't understand why someone would lie and debase themselves in front of their own child, especially their own daughters and wife. But alas, not everyone is like us. I'll just be more discerning in the future. I share this story for other like-minded people. Please, be more discerning in your attempts to help people. You have your own life to think about as it is. We need to be sparing with our charity sometimes.
Hello! Im in Henderson, NV and the same thing happened to us. Im out $160. I need dental work but helped him instead. I also have two young children. Whats sad is to find out people can lie so well. No regard to kids being with them also! Oh well. The Lord honors my heart! 🙏🏼
This is a very well worded response; I have a lot of respect for the Sikh's, and I'm sorry that someone took advantage of your generosity. My golden rule is that I do not give money out to people who ask for it. If someone is genuine, I instead offer to buy them food or coffee, and that often works with the homeless and they are always appreciative. If someone approaches me, I refuse. I am a Christian and will vow to help the needy, but never the greedy.
I'm a guy that'll take care of someone if I have the ability but I want nothing in return I've done it in the past just do good to others and report these thieves so nobody gets scammed may you all be blessed 🙏
Yes this happened to my dad and i...they (man,woman, and a kid boy) were very convincing but we passed and the lady was following us around into the store telling us the ATM is right there..BEGGING.
I got scammed today. I gave $300 looking at the baby in carseat… he told me to take his ring I said no. Just looking at the baby in car seat I gave arab family 300$ to eat and travel back to Colorado. Seeing this videos it hurts bad . I thought I did good for someone now I am broken 😞
I definitely feel you on this. I just lost $800 yesterday to this almost down to the T how he described in the video. He had kids and the girl was crying. I’m trying to just let it go and take it as a lesson learned
@@dmeans315 That's exactly why the scam is so successful. Humans are greedy predators. Many people will say the heck with that ring if you really need money sell me those chains on your neck not knowing they just took the bait.
They got me too in Atl bro. Gave him 20 for the chain but the ring was too big. Wore it a few days and noticed my neck itching so I sold it to someone for 100. It did look real tho...
In Houston too just happened to me. He didn’t even want me to take him to the gas station but i worked his ass down to 20 dollars from a hundred dollars for this bullshit 18k chain tho. Still upset cuz I was genuinely tryna help the guy cuz I didn’t want to pass up my blessings. God got me 🙏🏾
I swear I saw the guy in Chicago by stoney Island exit..he offered me a gold chain with a gold medallion ...he said he was from Dubai.....he was in a silver sum told me he was out of gas and asked me to go to an ATM....i felt like something was off so I just gave 30 bucks and left....i left on a road trip with several hip hop artists from Chicago to mew York....i stayed in New York 3 days on the road trip back from New York..in Pennsylvania I swear on my life the same guy was at the turn pike gas station off the interstate....same guy same suv same story...i saw him because he approached us with the same script.....i told him bro you travel the country doing this shit..i refreshed his memory and he immediately was afraid i was going to kick his ass or call the police...i was still in shock because the chances of me seeing this guy again ina entirely different state that far away i was in complete Awe...the odds of that is like hitting the mega million lottery twice....i saw this on the news and damn near fell out of my chair....i was like wtf....i just was glad I wasn't the only one because I literally felt like was I crazy ?
WoW! that is unreal! I would of loved to see the guy that got me for $240! I would of loved to punch him with his little kids that were in on it see it!
10/09/2020 Update: No damn leads. His number is a VOIP. I can find him but I'd be breaking the law. I'm continuing investigation efforts and patrolling the area where I got scammed. Police are utterly useless, stating that there was "No crime committed"
Got me in Minneapolis. Plates had FP on them like fraternal of police I think ..... flauviusviss that’s the tiktok I’ve found of them. I’m trying to hunt them down myself. They only got me for 50$ but the fact they used the kids is what pissed me off.
I got scammed today with this. I was hungry and was not thinking well at all. I should have been more careful. The man claims he is from Dubai, Abu Dhabi. His name was Mustaffa. There was two kids at the backseat. His alibi was his brother died and he was out of gas and needed some cash, so he wants to pawn his gold. My hands were shaking because I genuinely believed I was doing something good. End of the day I went to the pawnshop and it did not take 2 seconds for them to say all the rings and watch and necklace were fake. They did not even eant to look at it. So eayh, takkivya is alive.
The same exact thing happened to me in West Sacramento, California at a small liquor store. He was in an suv and had children in the back, he said his wallet and passport was stolen and begged me to buy his gold chain for $100. He knew I was skeptical so he literally took the chain and rubbed it back and forth on the window and said “it’s real, see!” I left right away
LOL. Tell them you'll be willing to give them a ride to the nearest jewelry store while they cash in then give them a ride back to their car. LOL...The reaction will be priceless, I assure you.
I told him that 20 mins ago😂😂😂and he got mad he said that You are crazy man i am a millionaire i can buy you and you your whole family, and i said yea but still ur asking me for money lol
Hmm.... As I sit here looking at a gold necklace I helped a middle eastern man , pleading for help, with his wife and kids in a gray minivan with Florida tags. He wanted $400 for 2 rings and a heavy necklace. He was showing me his Rolex too. Same story, lost his wallet and needed gas money to get home to Florida. I love in middle TN. Florida is south east from here, but about 30 min later west of Nashville I see the same car and the guy was trying to sell his jewelry at another gas station. It's 18k and looks real. I'm sure I got scammed for $130.00.. People like this ARE THE REASON nobody trusts helping others these days...
Happened to me in AZ. Guy had his daughter and wife to make it seem more legit. Got $400 out of me and i needed that money. Whats crazy is that i did have a hunch that it was a scam but thought that its just paranoia. I shouldve followed him 🤦♂️
Thanks for the video. Same thing happened to me in Charlotte NC. He left a gold chain in my car and I was driving to ATM. And open You Tube and watched the video with same scenario. So return his items and told him to disappear if not will call Police. Thank you for the video.
Wow, this guy is in the Bronx. This same thing happened to me today. I encountered him waving behind a black suv with blinkers on at a highway exit. I thought he needed help or something and decided to stop . He runs to my vehicle and tells the same story, he lost his wallet and money and doesn’t have gas. Immediately he offers me a “gold” ring “ from a supposed graduation. I’m just staring out the window super confused because I don’t know what to do, whether to help him or call the cops. So immediately I get this gut feeling to leave and I leave. He stays on the highway exit and walks away shamefully and I drive off feeling guilty because I couldn’t even understand him. He did sound Indian, though. I knew that it had to be some set up or something because nobody just stands at a highway exit and offers to pay you with a gold ring for money. Glad that I did not fall for this one.
Similar 19 year old aproaching me car ran out of gas he needed 40 dollars in gas to get home. I said ok, there is the gas station, meet you there. He just thought it would be inconvenient for me....as it turned out he had no car.....he still asked for some money. NO YOU LIED TO ME The end
Typical Gypsy scam. They're most probably a Gypsy family, I have been approached at least 3 different times at a gas station in Corona, California. Always at a gas station.
With all respect, I have same experience in paso Robles In a gas station, what I told the guy, was get the fuck out of my face. Cause I knew it. Or ready
This just happened to me today here in Beaverton off HWY 26. On the entrance ramp, he was waving, spoke broken English, told me he ran out of gas, so I picked up the guy. He looked Arabic. I was going to give him $100 for one necklace, but he said he needed more. But since I didn't know if the rings were worth anything, I offered to then take him to a local gold dealer where he could get more cash. He then said no, that would not work. Then he just left my car and took off.
This literally happened to me today 😂 the guy said he was a gold dealer in Miami and was headed home from Canada with his family. After inspecting the rings they seemed very light. He had a very nice Rolex and a gold chain all stamped 18k. He did the scratch and burn test. After offering to get the Jeweler authenticated and paying what we agreed on he got upset and left
This happened to me today in TN. Some guy comes up to me in a van with kids in it. He asks if I speak Spanish which I do, anyways he ends up asking me to help him, his story was that he was vacationing in Nashville with his family and that he lost his wallet and needed gas to go back to California. It was weird and I noticed some red flags, but if he was really in need of help I decided I could fork over 20$. Anyways he was trying to give me a ring but I wasn’t going to help in exchange for anything so I gave it to him. Also there was some talking as I was trying to figure out the situation, he was then trying to offer me his chain. Anyways it came down to him asking for it, I ended up giving him the 20$ just in case. But my main concern was, he had children, I really do hope that was his family. Just know anyone you see a guy trying to offer you jewelry, it’s most likely a scammer.
I had exactly same thing happened to me this afternoon after I came out from Menards and they stole my necklace which I’ve been wearing for many years. Happened in Fort Wayne Indiana. God bless them.
I am from fort wayne this happened to me last night on coldwater road!!! he had an suv!!! a lady was in the back with a head covering on!!! he think i will go for it i am going to trick him the next time i see him!!!
This happened to my father yesterday and he lost $4k. Was a guy and his 50 year old ish son in Washington State with Florida license plates saying their wallet was stolen and he needed to drive back to FL. My dad tried to do checks and balances and is not a dummy, but is the kind of guy who would give you the shirt off his back. They had a thick accent and my father has employees who speak Arabic, so he called to see if they could help translate and they could not as the man was 'Bosnian'. The guy was a perfect actor and preyed on my father. Literally identical rings, necklaces and a rolex were given to my dad as collateral. And my sweet dad asked me to put the jewelry in my safe to ensure we could get it back to them. I am sick about it because my dad is so smart and got got by this. These guys are professionals. It sickens be because it makes it harder for people who really really need help not get it because we are all afraid its a scam.
He got me for $200 and a full tank of gas. It's cool though, I wish him well. Prayfully he continues to have good health and he finds the right mind to work legally. What he has gained from those through deception will cost him more than what he has gained through good hearted people.
@@trailermashproductions3437 I didn't know I was being scammed at the time, until watching this video report. Had I watched this report before hand, he wouldn't have gotten $200 and a tank full of gas.
@@dobettergetbetter2538 no these people are to be exposed.If they don't work they don't eat simple as that .People like that will go straight to hell .
literally just had a guy try to wave me down in a truck stop in a silver mercades, as soon as I rolled my window down he was already taking a large gold ring to try to entice me. and yes there was extra people in the car
This happened to me and I laughed in the guys face! Yeah, you’re going to trade me a solid gold ring for $20 bucks! Hmmm... isn’t the cheapest gold still a $1000 an ounce?! But, people fall for it and that’s sad.
@@luisdelreal9061 damn bro, i lost $300. Just show the majority of people are good people . Thats why we wear facemask and comply with the laws . I didn't even want the jewlery was willing to givr $100 out of kindness for his family . Oh well lesson learn hope he at least feeds his kids with it .
I had the “ Dubai” version happen to me in Arizona on a road trip last summer. As soon as the man started explaining his plight, and getting the jewelry out, all with sad faced wife and kids in the car, I sensed the scam and laughed, turned and walked away.
That’s crazy. This happened to me in LA In the hood, I was coming back from buying beer at the liquor store And as I was passing through a gas station on the way back cutting through it to get to my homies pad faster Some guy stopped me and he told me the same thing He actually had his kid in the car with him And even the kid was like please please help us He said he needed money for gas And offered me jewelry I use apple pay so I don’t really carry cash and only had like 20 and he was like I’ll take it here take these chains And I didn’t take them Just hooked him up with some cash I only told this story to my GF not even my homies And I always said to myself damn I shoulda took the gold chain. Somehow I stumbled across this video Btw this happened to me like in late 2019
@Rellems I’ll never forget that. Crazy how it’s a scam across the country. Btw he was in the wrong neighborhood lol I know ppl that if he would have asked them, they would have snatched his chains but only to find out they were fake haha 😆
I knew he was a scamm so I didn’t accept the gold ! But I still gave him and his “ wife” 40 dollars and for from a food pantry he was in a gray dodge suv
It happened to me today He was in the side of the highway,claimed to be from Saudi Arabia and needed gas Offered me gold He wanted couple hundred $$ I told him that I don’t have an oil well in my house , can’t afford $200 I give him $10 I told him that’s enough to get you somewhere and ask for help I got him on my dash camera I will put the video in you tube so everybody can see his face
I fell for this. These guys are really good. It was a guy and a girl. They had a cute baby too. I only gave them 20 bucks they were really pushing for more and I just finally had to walk away I even gave them their "gold" ring back so they could leave me alone.
thats crazy, happened to me in upstate new york, getting on to the palisades parkway. As soon as he offered me gold I knew something was wrong. BTW if you take gold in exchange for a few gallons of gas, you gotta work on your greed issues. Anyway, I told him that he should just call the cops, as they would surely have a way to help him, then i drove off and called the cops myself.
I wish I seen this video, bro just got me at the travel plaza in Broadview, OH. I'm not a given person but his story made me feel some kinda way. To add to it he had his wife and kids with him. Guess it's back to telling people "no, don't wanna hear it, bye". Same story too!
This happened to me today but I heard of this scam. He pulled up to the gas pump next to me and said “ hey I need your help I have no gas” pulls out a big gold ring. At this point I knew and I told him im not interested. He kept talking and I got in my car. These people make you not trust anyone.
Had this happen today. Exactly like the guy described in the video. He said he was desperately trying to get to CA (I’m in MD) with his wife and kid in the back seat. bro was in a RANGE ROVER. I figured he was on the run from someone. I gave him $50 for gas just cause he asked and I try to help people where I can. Then he took off his ring and insisted on giving me the ring and I got excited for about 3 minutes until I put it up to my magnetic phone holder and it stuck 😭 honestly worth $50 for a fake gold Mercedes ring and a cool story.
Same thing happened to me accept I guess he got better metals as non of it stuck to a magnet. rings marked 14k, necklaces marked 18k. Said he would call me in 2 days to pay it back, then I seen this video while searching how to the test gold. I Informed the police as I was able to take a pic of the vehicle as just in case they are looking into it california plates came back to a hertz rent a center. Luckily in not in a bind with money and gave him what I was comfortable losing which was a few hundred now I got 5 cool looking rings and 3 necklaces I can confront the next guy with.
Some foreigners tried to hit me with the same thing. That's the oldest trick in the book never buy gold or any type of jewelry off the street go to a jeweler!
Man this just happened to me and my friend today in Atl. The guy said he was a millionaire from Europe and needed to get back to Miami, but he lost his wallet and didn’t have gas. The out of no where he flashes gold and my friend does a scratch test which it passes. My friend then buys a ring for $50 which prompted me to ask about a chain which I also bought for $50 smh
During covid a white man asked at a convenient store/gas station if anyone could help him with gas. I was suspicious about him at first and when he went outside I asked if anyone knew him. The cashier said she knew him and it was true- plus his wife just died and his 2vlittle ones were with him. I ended up filling up his tank. I'm not telling this because I think I'm a hero or something. It just so happens that only a week before I was in the same situation where a total stranger did the same for me. I didn't ask him. He saw me sobbing at the gas pump and it was only the day before my husband had passed away. That stranger was my guardian angel- but I also believe you should always pay it forward!❤
They got me too! I'm homeless, but I am so empathetic that its starting to think twice when helping someone else. I tried to give him the jewelry cuz I just wanted to help. He kept going up on what he wanted but there is where I explained I'm homeless I can help you but not a lot. Anyway, yeah they got me🤬. Don't let me see him again!🤺
This just happened to me today in the west suburbs of Chicago. Only this time he claimed to be Latino and he had to get to new york. He offered me his gold rolex and rings for $500 but I wasn’t interested in any of that. I ended up giving him $20 for gas but nothing more because I had a voice in my head tell me something wasn’t right. Stay sharp out there everyone.
Lol, I just got scammed out of 250 yesterday at a rest stop. Guy from Dubai with 2 young kids and an old lady in the back seat. They made up a good story and using 2 kids really got me to trust them.. sure looks real with 18k stamp.. lesson learned.
This same thing happened to me today . Got 200 out me for 2 chains bracelet and ring. All stamped 18k . I'm guessing tho I got played. Karma will get them eventually
The kids were saying “help me please!” They seemed like genuinely good people. I gave them 80 in gas, and 260 for all them and the kids to eat on the way. They forced “gold” into my hands and thanked and hugged me. I felt good. The gold ended up being fake. Lesson learned.
@@Anthonywb It hurts that I told them the truth, they knew how young and money-pressed I was. They even used their kids on me. It hurts man, but if they were good people I would be ok with what I did. Never again!
@@nanojimenez7079 same with me at first I gave him 40 for gas then he starts taking all this gold jewelry off and says give me 200 give me 200 I give you all this gold and something in my gut was telling me that it was all fake but I thought at the moment that if I gave him the 200 and it's all fake then that is on him and his conscience then I thought that maybe it's real and he really does just need the money to get home so I did it and I honestly knew that it wasn't real I still have the jury and I ain't going to lie I wear one of the necklaces because it actually does look pretty cool LOL
Remember, you'll never see a millionaire, let alone a millionaire from Dubai, or an Arab millionaire caught dead in a situation like, period.
I know haha, I had an Arab dude try this on me recently but he drove up in a new luxury SUV saying he needed gas money to get to the airport while I was walking into a friends house. He put a bunch of gold jewelry in my hands and I had to keep handing it back to him. He said he was from Dubai and this is on the West Coast, nowhere near where this video happened so they must have a script or all use the same story. I was laughing about it with my friends afterwards like "How does a rich guy from Dubai need gas money?" People are stupid, I can't believe people fall for this.

@@fireun607 how did you do That?
@@dewilew2137 I didn't trust him that much.. how they approached I really wanted to help... so I made them drive me around to get gift cards cause I told them I couldn't pull out more than 100 from my card .. as we're driving they're getting comfortable and slipping... But I played anyway cause they were looking sad(black love). He gave me a bunch of gold and a fake rolex diamond watch.. I told him I don't want it I just wanted to help.. And that's when I gained control of the game.. He couldn't believe how I just snatched the game from him. So I ended up making them comfortable ( a man, a younger man and a child). Listen to music side banter and shit. I then told him I'll give him 2bandz.. So we drive for gift cards. After giving him 980 in gift cards and cash, I told them I was tired, and since they missed their plane anyway I have to get rest then un the morning ill give them the rest.( their whole thang was they were a family, dad and 2 sons. And somebody stole the dads wallet, and they had a plane to catch to Dubai that night in 2 hours. So they needed some money to book another flight in person, cause he didn't have his passport and ID.. ).
As I'm going out the car he's begging me to take the jewelry, literally but I'm like no I'm just helping ill see you tommorow what's ya number?
He gave me the number in the morning. I called him to meet by a pawn shop but he didn't know it was a pawnshop nearby. I got in the car, and told him take out the jewelry and let's go over there so I can sell it for you.. he broke down.. silent. So I told him give me back everything or ima beat you and your son ass.. they left the lil boy that day ... so they kept giving me sad storys ... till they realized I wast going and they talked amongst themselves and gave me back my money.. they still owed a 100 in cash.. so when I got out I took a picture of their plates and texted it to him.. And he cash apped me the 100 right away.
I think I got hit today 😠 What is wrong with these people? Stuff like this is why a lot of other people who really need help can't get it. Caz nobody trusts people anymore
@@keenanhenry95 yu from miami?
I just fell for this scam. I’ll never ever give anything to anyone ever again because of him !!!!! It will be all I can do to stop myself from punching the next person that asks me for money in a parking lot. My days of trusting people is now gone forever.
i fell for it today too man
I fell for it and decided to never give a penny to help any body!
That's why whenever they ask for money im like "damn i was about to ask you the same thing"

Just got encountered by some dude while working with my step dad. He said he needed gas and my step dad offered him gas since he always has gas to fuel his equipment. He said that it wasn't enough gas and that he should just get some money in exchange for his 24 carat gold watch and rings, my step dad said no thank you and we got away from the scammer. I then searched up this scam to see if he really was a scammer and found this video. I'm so glad we trusted our instincts.
This happened to me today off of 95 in NC. I had the feeling that this was bullshit but what made me angry about the situation is the man had his children in his car. Shameless.
Just happened to me today smh
Exactly the same with me, wife kids and one new born, in the back sit, it happened one time in Los angles, one time in Utha. Many are Indians from India they come as a tourist scam people and go back. They bring all these fake jewelries with them, if they raise 20K it goes a long way in India it's like 1 million dollar in their country.

The bible compares our life to a vapor that quickly disappears, or a plant that is here today and gone tomorrow. Do you think about what happens after you are gone? Where is your soul going? Have you heard of a place called heaven and a place called hell? Today I want to urge you to surrender your life to God. Salvation is gifted to us from God out of pure love. All we need to do is believe and follow Jesus Christ. This scripture sums it up.
For God so loved the world that He sent His only begotten Son, that whoever believes on Him should not perish but have everlasting life. John 3:16
Turn your life over to Christ today, tomorrow may be too late. If you have any comments or questions feel free to ask me.
Bro you have to be by i90 and elgin same whip guy clamjed to be loaded
Lol for real, I just had a brand new 4runner pull pull up on me and ask for a full tank of gas and the next day a brand new Durango pulled up and asked the same
I’ve gotten scammed like this. I was doing it out of kindness. Didn’t even want the guys jewelry although he insisted I take it anyway. Gave him $200 bucks. I still did not want the jewelry, was genuinely trying to help the guy. That made me never want to help anyone ever again.
That happened to me today. I hope they learn there lesson.
Happen to me today. And just so happens I get this in my feed. The lord works in mysterious ways. I gave they guy 200 as well for 2 chains and bracelet and ring. The way I see it karma will catch up with him .
Same this literally just happen to me I didn’t want his jewelry either but he insisted and gave me the ring I just wanted to be kind since I made extra money from overtime gave him $40 he drove off this video made me not want to help again either it’s wicked when you’re kind to people they do this
I feel the same way. I didn’t want the jewelry , just to help. I figured it was fake, but they seemed so needy. I don’t even wish ill on them. Actually, I hope that they learn before someone who is not nice does something bad to them for their trickery. I’ll justify it as my charitable deeds for a while 😣
just lost 5k.... im done with humanity
These are hilarious!! Lmao. Keep giving these people your money and keep the videos coming. Anyone that does this has to have been dropped on their head about 300 times when they were a baby. Who gives $130,000 worth of jewelry for $2500? It is almost your fault for being greedy.
That's what I was thinking. If anything, give him a ride to where he needs to go and move on!
@@utopianseeker5493 so true. She doesn’t mean squat when it comes to being a total fool.
Exactly ! that’s the draw they know they would fail because they’re greedy the dude gave him 2500 thinking he would make bank back he wasn’t going to “return it “ and just get his 2500 back 😂 his greedy self got him
People really fall for this? If the guy has all this valuable gold and a Rolex Watch he should go to the pawn shop himself. Besides you're not a road side service. If you want to help call the State Police for him.
Well said.
I’ve actually been scammed like this and told the dude to go pawn it or something and their excuse was that the black people at the pawn don’t like them and they they were scared of blacks

This comment is in the top 5 all time
I met one of these guys today. Wondering how a well-mannered, well-dressed foreign tourist doesn't have a cell phone or a wallet, and is out of gas. That's a whole lot of bad luck for one day.
I was at Walmart today and guy in a Mercedes immediately pulled up as I was getting my kids out. He acts distressed but thankful that I'm hearing him out and goes into some long sob story about his daughter getting beaten up and this,that, and the other. Im sitting there waiting for him to tell me what he wanted but he's yammering on and on about stuff I don't care about. My kid started crying and I told him I had to take care of him and he just drove off without even bothering to ask for a couple bucks or anything. He must be conditioned to run his full scam in the same format and if he's interrupted he'll just abort and look for a new victim.
Don't they kill you with the big 💰💰Car the one scamed me with the baby sleeping in a $40.000 Jeep Grand Cherokee I need gas & I'm sitting in a 1990 Volvo WGN in Walmart 😂🤔

I had the same experience, the guy had his son in back seat sleeping. He told me his son was hungry & he needed gas money. He also claimed he was from Dubai. He tried to give me gold jewelry, but I lied and told him I didn’t have any money on me. Never trust a guy driving a Benz asking for money lmao.
They are like bankers , sitting around thinking of ways to get peoples money. And then they rehearse the plan.
Wow. This just happened to me yesterday. I came here right away when I found out that the 18k gold ring I was given by a family from Dubai was actually fake. I only lost of $80, but either way, I feel horrible that I fell for this scam. These people need to be stopped.
Same thing happened to me friday, wander if it was the same guy. Driving black/light black 2020 buick encore California plates 8RCP978 he kept giving me more and more rings and chains...and I gave in. said he was from dubai lived in california that his bank card wasnt working and needed help getting home and an adult female and child in the car as well took my name and number saying he would call me in 2 days to pay it back.

I told him ok here is 20$. he said no more please. I said "no that's enough to fill ur tank so why would u need more" he tells me it's worth 4k I said ok well the pawn shop is right there and pointed at it within walking distance.

DONT post this video if you are not going to show the faces! Horrible reporting!
YES 💯
It's nice to help people who are genuinely stranded maybe even give them a few bucks but definitely not in the hundreds or thousands stay safe and protect yourself
He lost $2500 because of his greed.
Greed. He wanted to scam the scammer by taking advantage of the scammer's unfortunate circumstance and get his gold for dirt cheap, instead he got got.
@@SL-pg4dhliterally what happened 🤣🤣🤣
If one is giving hundreds or thousands, they are typically not genuinely concerned about the person, as much as they are in the apparent gain for themselves.
I got scammed from this similar trick since I was a person who was caring and gullible. Now I see this experience as a expensive life lesson and have the fake Rolex as a reminder to not trust strangers
This happened to my friend. He was excited to show me a gold necklace and bracelet a guy sold him just like this for over $200. I later saw them at TJ Maxx for $19.99 each. Good plate looks so real.
Your a good man who was taken advantage of by a thief. Dont stop caring for others and people who really need genuine help. God bless you sir.
Fuck that I ain’t helping anyone out ever again
He's not a good man he got scammed because he tried to get something for nothing. If you're dumb enough to think you'll get a $100,000 rolex, 2 rings and a chain for 2500, you deserve to get scammed
Happen to me yesterday in Azusa California dude had a wife and baby in the backseat and I felt for it it’s real watch out lost out on g
Lol me in long beach ... I have em 20$ out of my heart and he didn't want it he wanted more supposedly he wasn't from here and he had no gas w a big ass chain.... Fake!!!!! Lol
Got me yesterday bro 🤦🏾♂️
@@alchemanderfrankn5564 asshole I'm jump. Em next time
@@alchemanderfrankn5564 How much for?
Same here!! In Azusa! Now today in Montclair in a Toyota suv!
This happened to me yesterday, a guy from BMW SUV approached me and claiming that he’s from Dubai and that he’s a millionaire over there, showed his family and and asked for money claiming they were visiting from Dubai drove to California from Florida and they ran out of cash. The only reason why I gave them money is because I felt bad for the kids. I gave him $115 and he just hand out his necklace and ring as a token of appreciation. Beware guys, they’re here in Los Angeles County
Yeah, count me in as one who got "got". SMH. Happened about an hour ago at a Walmart here in Cleveland Ohio. I'm a trucker & this guy rolled up on me when I walked outside. Gave me the whole spill about being low on gas & needing money for food & enough to make it back to Florida. Even had Florida tags smh. Wife & 3 kids in the back as well. They got me for $850 (2 chains & a bracelet). Pissed AF & the kicker is I had my ole lady on the phone with me telling me not to do it the entire time.
Sorry, long story here.
I'm actually really disheartened, because this happened to me today.
Guy approaches as I'm pumping gas. He says he's from Dubai. Now, I happen to speak Arabic, so I ask him "oh, tahki arabi?" (Do you speak Arabic?) And he replies "yes yes" and so then i go on for a few sentences, but he keeps replying in English, which I find strange, but then, since I'm not a native speaker, I think "oh, he must hear my accent or something" so eventually I switch back to English. He's got 3 females in the back, 2 who look like they're 12, one who looks like the mother, and there's a boy who looks about 16 in the front. I guess he caught on to the fact that I found it strange that he wasn't speaking Arabic with me, and as an explanation for his lack of fluency in Arabic, he says "my mother is Arab, but my dad is Bosnian" to which I think "okay, sounds plausible".
He says he's on his way to his brother's house in Florida and that people stole $3000 from him, and that the police couldn't help him. He then says "but my family isn't poor, look, here's my watch. My family is made of millionaires" and he starts pointing to his watch and necklace, which I'm uninterested in. He tries to offer them as collateral, but I'm a Sikh, i take my religion very seriously, and we believe in helping people whenever we can. So i tell him not to worry about the necklace, we can work out the details later. I agree to pay for the gas, and i proceed to fill the car up. The car was empty, and when combined with the fact that he had me call his phone, which had a florida area code, it seemed to corroborate the story that he's from Florida. So I'm about to leave, and he's like "brother, we need food, my kids are hungry, please help my children". Initially, I said "that's all I can do now" and he says "please, my kids need to eat, can you give us $60 so that we can eat?". I give in, and go inside to the ATM, get the money, and give it to him. He puts his forehead to my hand they all say thank you, and they left.
However, something just didn't feel right. He said he'd call me tonight to talk about repayment, and he never called of course. I typed in "I'm from Dubai and need gas money" into Google, and sure enough, found out I was scammed.
It made me upset because now I just don't know when I should trust people. When should I ignore the pleas of someone on behalf of their alleged children? At the end of the day, I have decided to let it be with God, I can't do anything anyway. I know that my heart was in the right place. In the moment, I just couldn't understand why someone would lie and debase themselves in front of their own child, especially their own daughters and wife. But alas, not everyone is like us. I'll just be more discerning in the future.
I share this story for other like-minded people. Please, be more discerning in your attempts to help people. You have your own life to think about as it is. We need to be sparing with our charity sometimes.

Hello! Im in Henderson, NV and the same thing happened to us. Im out $160. I need dental work but helped him instead. I also have two young children. Whats sad is to find out people can lie so well. No regard to kids being with them also! Oh well. The Lord honors my heart! 🙏🏼
This is a very well worded response; I have a lot of respect for the Sikh's, and I'm sorry that someone took advantage of your generosity. My golden rule is that I do not give money out to people who ask for it. If someone is genuine, I instead offer to buy them food or coffee, and that often works with the homeless and they are always appreciative. If someone approaches me, I refuse. I am a Christian and will vow to help the needy, but never the greedy.
They always prey on hard working paisas
Orale!!!!
I'm a guy that'll take care of someone if I have the ability but I want nothing in return I've done it in the past just do good to others and report these thieves so nobody gets scammed may you all be blessed 🙏
Yes this happened to my dad and i...they (man,woman, and a kid boy) were very convincing but we passed and the lady was following us around into the store telling us the ATM is right there..BEGGING.
I got scammed today. I gave $300 looking at the baby in carseat… he told me to take his ring I said no. Just looking at the baby in car seat I gave arab family 300$ to eat and travel back to Colorado. Seeing this videos it hurts bad . I thought I did good for someone now I am broken 😞
I definitely feel you on this. I just lost $800 yesterday to this almost down to the T how he described in the video. He had kids and the girl was crying. I’m trying to just let it go and take it as a lesson learned
They got me for $40 for a ring and necklace but they thought I gave them $60. I wore it for a while though... Everyone thought it was real even me.
You turned it on him. Lol
Same here smh
U didn't do bad .....the con really doesn't work unless your trying to take advantage of a person at their lowest point
@@dmeans315 That's exactly why the scam is so successful. Humans are greedy predators. Many people will say the heck with that ring if you really need money sell me those chains on your neck not knowing they just took the bait.
They got me too in Atl bro. Gave him 20 for the chain but the ring was too big. Wore it a few days and noticed my neck itching so I sold it to someone for 100. It did look real tho...
What's the jurisdiction of BBB in this matter? I was surprised to see them looped in.
In Houston too just happened to me. He didn’t even want me to take him to the gas station but i worked his ass down to 20 dollars from a hundred dollars for this bullshit 18k chain tho. Still upset cuz I was genuinely tryna help the guy cuz I didn’t want to pass up my blessings. God got me 🙏🏾
I swear I saw the guy in Chicago by stoney Island exit..he offered me a gold chain with a gold medallion ...he said he was from Dubai.....he was in a silver sum told me he was out of gas and asked me to go to an ATM....i felt like something was off so I just gave 30 bucks and left....i left on a road trip with several hip hop artists from Chicago to mew York....i stayed in New York 3 days on the road trip back from New York..in Pennsylvania I swear on my life the same guy was at the turn pike gas station off the interstate....same guy same suv same story...i saw him because he approached us with the same script.....i told him bro you travel the country doing this shit..i refreshed his memory and he immediately was afraid i was going to kick his ass or call the police...i was still in shock because the chances of me seeing this guy again ina entirely different state that far away i was in complete Awe...the odds of that is like hitting the mega million lottery twice....i saw this on the news and damn near fell out of my chair....i was like wtf....i just was glad I wasn't the only one because I literally felt like was I crazy ?
WoW! that is unreal! I would of loved to see the guy that got me for $240! I would of loved to punch him with his little kids that were in on it see it!
Just heard the same story on twitter. Must be very common. Happened to my aunt years ago but I guess its still going around.
It was a guy in bay area that's doing that with family and wife
Hes been here in long beach CA we ran off with his shit not knowing if it was fake or not till we tried to pawn it and they said it was fake lol
Met him in Pennsylva too. Tbats crazy. Was he in a white suv and had his wife and kids in the car.
Philadelphia here, lost $1,500. Now I'm hunting for that man.
10/09/2020 Update: No damn leads. His number is a VOIP. I can find him but I'd be breaking the law. I'm continuing investigation efforts and patrolling the area where I got scammed. Police are utterly useless, stating that there was "No crime committed"
Got me in Minneapolis. Plates had FP on them like fraternal of police I think ..... flauviusviss that’s the tiktok I’ve found of them. I’m trying to hunt them down myself. They only got me for 50$ but the fact they used the kids is what pissed me off.
Hold the L and cake it back up until your anger is quenched. I got took for 1400 about 3 yrs. ago. Good life lesson.
There's a lot of them. According to middle easterns they are Gypsies.
my necklace hallmark shows ⭐172 AR. It weighs 5grams. How many carat of goal is it and what's the value ?
I got scammed today with this. I was hungry and was not thinking well at all. I should have been more careful. The man claims he is from Dubai, Abu Dhabi. His name was Mustaffa. There was two kids at the backseat. His alibi was his brother died and he was out of gas and needed some cash, so he wants to pawn his gold. My hands were shaking because I genuinely believed I was doing something good. End of the day I went to the pawnshop and it did not take 2 seconds for them to say all the rings and watch and necklace were fake. They did not even eant to look at it. So eayh, takkivya is alive.
The same exact thing happened to me in West Sacramento, California at a small liquor store. He was in an suv and had children in the back, he said his wallet and passport was stolen and begged me to buy his gold chain for $100. He knew I was skeptical so he literally took the chain and rubbed it back and forth on the window and said “it’s real, see!”
I left right away
Theyre always in SUVs. Dude try to pull this shit on me in hayward.
What do you think why Gypsies are most Hated in Europe? All they do is Steal, nothing good comes from them.
I saw the same guy, he was at the offramp on 50 and 99.
LOL. Tell them you'll be willing to give them a ride to the nearest jewelry store while they cash in then give them a ride back to their car. LOL...The reaction will be priceless, I assure you.
I told him that 20 mins ago😂😂😂and he got mad he said that You are crazy man i am a millionaire i can buy you and you your whole family, and i said yea but still ur asking me for money lol
Hmm.... As I sit here looking at a gold necklace I helped a middle eastern man , pleading for help, with his wife and kids in a gray minivan with Florida tags. He wanted $400 for 2 rings and a heavy necklace. He was showing me his Rolex too. Same story, lost his wallet and needed gas money to get home to Florida. I love in middle TN. Florida is south east from here, but about 30 min later west of Nashville I see the same car and the guy was trying to sell his jewelry at another gas station. It's 18k and looks real. I'm sure I got scammed for $130.00.. People like this ARE THE REASON nobody trusts helping others these days...
Happened to me in AZ. Guy had his daughter and wife to make it seem more legit. Got $400 out of me and i needed that money. Whats crazy is that i did have a hunch that it was a scam but thought that its just paranoia. I shouldve followed him 🤦♂️
Legends say he still wating for the Dubai man to come get his jewlery.
Thanks for the video. Same thing happened to me in Charlotte NC. He left a gold chain in my car and I was driving to ATM. And open You Tube and watched the video with same scenario. So return his items and told him to disappear if not will call Police. Thank you for the video.
Wow, this guy is in the Bronx. This same thing happened to me today. I encountered him waving behind a black suv with blinkers on at a highway exit. I thought he needed help or something and decided to stop . He runs to my vehicle and tells the same story, he lost his wallet and money and doesn’t have gas. Immediately he offers me a “gold” ring “ from a supposed graduation. I’m just staring out the window super confused because I don’t know what to do, whether to help him or call the cops. So immediately I get this gut feeling to leave and I leave. He stays on the highway exit and walks away shamefully and I drive off feeling guilty because I couldn’t even understand him. He did sound Indian, though. I knew that it had to be some set up or something because nobody just stands at a highway exit and offers to pay you with a gold ring for money. Glad that I did not fall for this one.
Similar
19 year old aproaching me car ran out of gas he needed 40 dollars in gas to get home. I said ok, there is the gas station, meet you there. He just thought it would be inconvenient for me....as it turned out he had no car.....he still asked for some money. NO YOU LIED TO ME
The end
😂😂 cruel
Happened to me as well, (but it was a 20 year old). Same no because he lied.
Typical Gypsy scam. They're most probably a Gypsy family, I have been approached at least 3 different times at a gas station in Corona, California. Always at a gas station.
👍🏼 my guess as well. Same thing happens all over the world 🌎 I’ve seen it myself many times. But $2500 what a sucker they can smell it lol.
With all respect, I have same experience in paso Robles In a gas station, what I told the guy, was get the fuck out of my face. Cause I knew it. Or ready
No Doubt about it
This just happened to me today here in Beaverton off HWY 26. On the entrance ramp, he was waving, spoke broken English, told me he ran out of gas, so I picked up the guy. He looked Arabic. I was going to give him $100 for one necklace, but he said he needed more. But since I didn't know if the rings were worth anything, I offered to then take him to a local gold dealer where he could get more cash. He then said no, that would not work. Then he just left my car and took off.
This literally happened to me today 😂 the guy said he was a gold dealer in Miami and was headed home from Canada with his family. After inspecting the rings they seemed very light. He had a very nice Rolex and a gold chain all stamped 18k. He did the scratch and burn test. After offering to get the Jeweler authenticated and paying what we agreed on he got upset and left
Happened to me too today guy said he's from Canada and needed to get to Miami it might be same guy
Where are you at im in Ronkonkoma
MI it’s a global scam
This happened to me today in TN. Some guy comes up to me in a van with kids in it. He asks if I speak Spanish which I do, anyways he ends up asking me to help him, his story was that he was vacationing in Nashville with his family and that he lost his wallet and needed gas to go back to California. It was weird and I noticed some red flags, but if he was really in need of help I decided I could fork over 20$. Anyways he was trying to give me a ring but I wasn’t going to help in exchange for anything so I gave it to him. Also there was some talking as I was trying to figure out the situation, he was then trying to offer me his chain. Anyways it came down to him asking for it, I ended up giving him the 20$ just in case. But my main concern was, he had children, I really do hope that was his family. Just know anyone you see a guy trying to offer you jewelry, it’s most likely a scammer.
Now that I think about it Ive never heard of ANY millionaire who has ever been stranded lololol
👍😂😂😂😂
Exactly!
Chances are you have a couple millionaire friends on speed dial that will gladly wire you some funds, I’m sure! Lol
elon musk was stranded after crashing his million dollar car. or so he claims
I had exactly same thing happened to me this afternoon after I came out from Menards and they stole my necklace which I’ve been wearing for many years. Happened in Fort Wayne Indiana. God bless them.
I am from fort wayne this happened to me last night on coldwater road!!! he had an suv!!! a lady was in the back with a head covering on!!! he think i will go for it i am going to trick him the next time i see him!!!
This happened to my father yesterday and he lost $4k. Was a guy and his 50 year old ish son in Washington State with Florida license plates saying their wallet was stolen and he needed to drive back to FL. My dad tried to do checks and balances and is not a dummy, but is the kind of guy who would give you the shirt off his back. They had a thick accent and my father has employees who speak Arabic, so he called to see if they could help translate and they could not as the man was 'Bosnian'. The guy was a perfect actor and preyed on my father. Literally identical rings, necklaces and a rolex were given to my dad as collateral. And my sweet dad asked me to put the jewelry in my safe to ensure we could get it back to them.
I am sick about it because my dad is so smart and got got by this. These guys are professionals. It sickens be because it makes it harder for people who really really need help not get it because we are all afraid its a scam.
If your papi fell for such an obvious scam, then sorry sweetie, he's not an intelligent man. Quite the opposite, actually.
He got me for $200 and a full tank of gas. It's cool though, I wish him well. Prayfully he continues to have good health and he finds the right mind to work legally. What he has gained from those through deception will cost him more than what he has gained through good hearted people.
no people like them are too far gone, you should have called him out for being a scammer. Threaten to call the police to put him in his place
@@trailermashproductions3437 I didn't know I was being scammed at the time, until watching this video report. Had I watched this report before hand, he wouldn't have gotten $200 and a tank full of gas.

I had the “ Dubai” version happen to me in Arizona on a road trip last summer. As soon as the man started explaining his plight, and getting the jewelry out, all with sad faced wife and kids in the car, I sensed the scam and laughed, turned and walked away.
That’s crazy.
This happened to me in LA
In the hood, I was coming back from buying beer at the liquor store
And as I was passing through a gas station on the way back cutting through it to get to my homies pad faster
Some guy stopped me and he told me the same thing
He actually had his kid in the car with him
And even the kid was like please please help us
He said he needed money for gas
And offered me jewelry
I use apple pay so I don’t really carry cash and only had like 20 and he was like I’ll take it here take these chains
And I didn’t take them
Just hooked him up with some cash
I only told this story to my GF not even my homies
And I always said to myself damn I shoulda took the gold chain.
Somehow I stumbled across this video
Btw this happened to me like in late 2019
@Rellems I’ll never forget that. Crazy how it’s a scam across the country. Btw he was in the wrong neighborhood lol
I know ppl that if he would have asked them, they would have snatched his chains but only to find out they were fake haha 😆
I took the gold chain
He's planning a terrorism attacc
I knew he was a scamm so I didn’t accept the gold ! But I still gave him and his “ wife” 40 dollars and for from a food pantry he was in a gray dodge suv
They are always in a 50000 dollar suv makes you wonder 🤔
It happened to me today
He was in the side of the highway,claimed to be from Saudi Arabia and needed gas
Offered me gold
He wanted couple hundred $$
I told him that I don’t have an oil well in my house , can’t afford $200
I give him $10 I told him that’s enough to get you somewhere and ask for help
I got him on my dash camera
I will put the video in you tube so everybody can see his face
I fell for this. These guys are really good. It was a guy and a girl. They had a cute baby too. I only gave them 20 bucks they were really pushing for more and I just finally had to walk away I even gave them their "gold" ring back so they could leave me alone.
thats crazy, happened to me in upstate new york, getting on to the palisades parkway. As soon as he offered me gold I knew something was wrong. BTW if you take gold in exchange for a few gallons of gas, you gotta work on your greed issues. Anyway, I told him that he should just call the cops, as they would surely have a way to help him, then i drove off and called the cops myself.
Does anyone know if the cops can even do anything? As far as I know, even if someone were to fall for it, this is not a crime
Flagged me down in Texas on the service road 🤣🤣 these hustlers are nation wide I see same story
I wish I seen this video, bro just got me at the travel plaza in Broadview, OH. I'm not a given person but his story made me feel some kinda way. To add to it he had his wife and kids with him. Guess it's back to telling people "no, don't wanna hear it, bye". Same story too!
This happened to me today but I heard of this scam. He pulled up to the gas pump next to me and said “ hey I need your help I have no gas” pulls out a big gold ring. At this point I knew and I told him im not interested. He kept talking and I got in my car. These people make you not trust anyone.
Who in their right mind would part with $2500.
I can't believe people fall for this 😂😂
Lol dog serv for two gold rings for 80 to good to be true
Facts....I got pulled up on at a Wawa in Florida but didn't fall for it
because they may have a good heart or simply greed, but you neither one of them, so you are good.
They target greedy people
Had this happen today. Exactly like the guy described in the video. He said he was desperately trying to get to CA (I’m in MD) with his wife and kid in the back seat. bro was in a RANGE ROVER. I figured he was on the run from someone. I gave him $50 for gas just cause he asked and I try to help people where I can. Then he took off his ring and insisted on giving me the ring and I got excited for about 3 minutes until I put it up to my magnetic phone holder and it stuck 😭 honestly worth $50 for a fake gold Mercedes ring and a cool story.
Same thing happened to me accept I guess he got better metals as non of it stuck to a magnet. rings marked 14k, necklaces marked 18k. Said he would call me in 2 days to pay it back, then I seen this video while searching how to the test gold. I Informed the police as I was able to take a pic of the vehicle as just in case they are looking into it california plates came back to a hertz rent a center. Luckily in not in a bind with money and gave him what I was comfortable losing which was a few hundred now I got 5 cool looking rings and 3 necklaces I can confront the next guy with.
Some foreigners tried to hit me with the same thing. That's the oldest trick in the book never buy gold or any type of jewelry off the street go to a jeweler!
Man this just happened to me and my friend today in Atl. The guy said he was a millionaire from Europe and needed to get back to Miami, but he lost his wallet and didn’t have gas. The out of no where he flashes gold and my friend does a scratch test which it passes. My friend then buys a ring for $50 which prompted me to ask about a chain which I also bought for $50 smh
Same thing happened to me nearChicago, same exact story. I lost $200, but I got 2 rings and 2 chains for that
tell them you just bought the gold from another guy up the street.
It works.
During covid a white man asked at a convenient store/gas station if anyone could help him with gas. I was suspicious about him at first and when he went outside I asked if anyone knew him. The cashier said she knew him and it was true- plus his wife just died and his 2vlittle ones were with him. I ended up filling up his tank. I'm not telling this because I think I'm a hero or something. It just so happens that only a week before I was in the same situation where a total stranger did the same for me. I didn't ask him. He saw me sobbing at the gas pump and it was only the day before my husband had passed away.
That stranger was my guardian angel- but I also believe you should always pay it forward!❤
They got me too! I'm homeless, but I am so empathetic that its starting to think twice when helping someone else. I tried to give him the jewelry cuz I just wanted to help. He kept going up on what he wanted but there is where I explained I'm homeless I can help you but not a lot. Anyway, yeah they got me🤬. Don't let me see him again!🤺
These people are absolute trash. I’m so sorry, sis. 💗
This just happened to me today in the west suburbs of Chicago. Only this time he claimed to be Latino and he had to get to new york. He offered me his gold rolex and rings for $500 but I wasn’t interested in any of that. I ended up giving him $20 for gas but nothing more because I had a voice in my head tell me something wasn’t right. Stay sharp out there everyone.
Lol, I just got scammed out of 250 yesterday at a rest stop. Guy from Dubai with 2 young kids and an old lady in the back seat. They made up a good story and using 2 kids really got me to trust them.. sure looks real with 18k stamp.. lesson learned.
This same thing happened to me today . Got 200 out me for 2 chains bracelet and ring. All stamped 18k . I'm guessing tho I got played. Karma will get them eventually
The kids were saying “help me please!” They seemed like genuinely good people. I gave them 80 in gas, and 260 for all them and the kids to eat on the way. They forced “gold” into my hands and thanked and hugged me. I felt good. The gold ended up being fake. Lesson learned.
@@Anthonywb It hurts that I told them the truth, they knew how young and money-pressed I was. They even used their kids on me. It hurts man, but if they were good people I would be ok with what I did. Never again!
@@nanojimenez7079 same with me at first I gave him 40 for gas then he starts taking all this gold jewelry off and says give me 200 give me 200 I give you all this gold and something in my gut was telling me that it was all fake but I thought at the moment that if I gave him the 200 and it's all fake then that is on him and his conscience then I thought that maybe it's real and he really does just need the money to get home so I did it and I honestly knew that it wasn't real I still have the jury and I ain't going to lie I wear one of the necklaces because it actually does look pretty cool LOL
