I'm royally pissed off at myself for falling for something *** like this. The guy says blah, blah, blah, Mexican girl steals all his money and credit cards, yada, yada, yada, I get 3 fake jackets for $160".

By the way, this was in San Diego/.

Warning signs I should've played on?.

1) He said he was from Milan and that it was 12 hours faster than PST when I knew that it was probably less than that because I went to Indonesia and over there, it's 13 hours faster.. Italy and Indonesia are definitely not 1 time zone apart:.

2) He showed me a passport! He said he went to Mexico with a woman and she stole his $7000 cash and credit cards|. Why didn't she take his passport?

3) Back to the credit cards: He said the woman took his credit cards and soon after that, he tells me that Italians don't use credit cards,.

4) I'm not a expert when it comes to business trips, but can business trips across the Atlantic really last for a month? And do they really expect a foreigner Italian to drive a rental car?

5) A rental car for a month??!!

So I'm the biggest dumbass on this side of the Mississippi and I just want everyone to not fall for the trickeries of this supposedly Italian thief. I am not bagging on Italians. It's just sad that this guy claimed he was from Milan and he's smearing the decency of nice Italian people.

So I hope this Silvio with his rental car dies a slow and painful death because I have 3 fake jackets and down $160. Never ever take the phrase "The Kindness of Strangers" to heart. In life, it doesn't work. 1297332

What I'm reading here is two people who heard a label name, let their greed overwhelm common sense, and are now upset they didn't get the completely unrealistic deal they thought they were getting. 

A $50-75 Armani-styled jacket, leather or no, is still a good price. It's a decent price for a jacket, full stop. 

You are complaining that you only got a good deal, not the ego-catering once-in-a-lifetime that fell in your lap.

so im walking into work as a server at a chain restaurant nd some guy in a "rented" car (Ford Edge), which has previously been described, asks me in italian if i wanted to buy some jackets. he said that he was a designer for Giorgio Armani and was here on a Valentines day fashion exhibit and that today was his last day here in Jersey. He said that the company gave those jackets to him but that since they were new, they would charge him taxes for exporting merchandise out of the country. Believable story. So he showed me his "portflio" and an Armani catalog with the pieces he had, which added a little more credit to the story. He asked for $750 but i only gave him $150.00 for 2 leather jackets which to be honest are not bad quality at all, lol. Yes im kind of mad at myself but out of all of us who got screwed, how many of us are really gonna fall for it again, you live and you learn people. A few pointers tho. A designer for The Girgio Armani himself would not mind paying a few extra dollars on taxes for jackets that he designed himself. In fact, a designer for girgio armani wouldnt try to be selling his merchandise out on the street like that for 1/2 of what its worth when he knows that if the company sells it he gets full profit. I just wished i would of analyzed this a little better when i was in the moment. What i do know is that if i ever see this guy again i would punch the Italian accent off his scrawny ***. But im not mad.
