Default Excuse me sir, my name is Mustapha

Well, that and an attempted hand shake was how the conversation started. Guy in a very flashy looking late black model car, stopped by me at Edos in Olds and opened the door. Next thing , he was telling me a sob story and wanted gas money. I was expecting the, I have gold I need to sell badly saga, but we didn't get that far. Left in a hurry when I angled around to get a license number. Obscured Ontario plate, but visible, so I reported it to the cops.

They(this scam) hit me up in my driveway a couple years back. Need gas money to get back to home province, buy my super expensive gold for cheap. I said I don't don't do rings and chains, said there is a gold dealer 10 blocks away at the mall, you should go there. The Dad & Mom with two kids in the back seat didn't like that answer too much, which confirmed my suspicion his gold was not that great.
