i was walking on 6th ave today on my way to a friends place to watch some football, and i had my earplugs in listening to my bob dylan, as always, and i glance over to the street, and make eye contact with a man in a big suburban mouthing words at me..... i am like ok what is this guy talking to me i go over and take an earbud out and he is asking for money, he begins to take out jewlery to give to me, and says he needs gas money, and i say i dont have any ccash on me but we can go to a gas station and ill pay for their gas. then they tell me to get in the car..... i get into the front passenger seat, that guy gets to the back seat, and there is the driver..... they ask what bank i have because they want to go to an atm i tell them and now we are on our way to that bank branch.... we get there and they start pulling out a bunch of gold jewlery and placing it in my hands and tell be to put it in my pocket..... they give me this gold rolex, they are ripping all this gold jewlery off their body and handing it to me, they look up the rolex and show me how much its worth....they tell me they need 2500 bucks for plane tickets back to dubai and gas to get back to miami and food.... i say i dont know i could give u a couple hundred i dont know..... they keep taking my hands and praying .... they are muslim, they show me pictures of them in muslim garb.... they ask if i believe in allah, i say of course..... i really want the jewlery.... they say that if i give them the cash, they will give me the jewelry and send me 10k when they get back to dubai... they say theyll give me their phone number.... i really want to help them out.... i just cant do it.... they keep begging me in their car, i feel so guilty, i start visibly shaking i feel so bad, im breathing very heavily, they say do it for allah..... i finally walk out to go to the atm i go inside and go to the far atm..... i stand and stare at the atm for 5 min thinking of what to do...... they have my phone number and start calling me.... one of them comes out to the atm.... i walk out and say im sorry i cant do it..... i felt so bad and i run away.......
im still going over what happened to me.... i cant tell if they were trying to scam me.... i wanted it to be true... the jewlery and the money they would send me.... they said they export cars in dubai and lost their wallets..... what if i helped them.... i still dont know if i made the decision.... later after i ran away they texted asking why i didnt want to help..... i still havent responded..... i had to vent about this somewhere
It was a scam you did good leaving but please for the love of god never get in anyone's car again
