Today. Central Florida, at a gas/convenience store, on hwy 46, Lake County, west of I-4. I am pumping gas and some guy in a big black suv walks over to me with the old speakers scam. In the old days it seemed like it was always a couple guys in a van. This guy was 40ish, goatee, black t-shirt.
Wanted to sell me speakers for my media room(?)...lol. Said the "idiot" at the warehouse shipped an extra set and he couldn't return them.
I just laughed and said no thanks but after I drove I off I had to ask myself "Who is still falling for this crap?" He approached another vehicle before I left, with no luck. I thought this particular scam died out back in the 90's or maybe early 2000's. Shows what I know.
I will just leave the obvious Trump equivalency laying there, but wow...what a world we live in.
