| Italian Guy Giovanni, Emporior Armani, EA Collection leather Jackets Italian Guy Who Asks for direction to Lincoln Tunnels with New Jersey Plate Numbe |
| 10th of Oct, 2011 by User216484 |
| An Italian guy driving a white Jeep with New Jersey plate number asked me for direction to Lincoln tunnel on the corner of fifth Avenue and 26th street on 10/10/2011. After that he told me he would give me a gift of three Armani Jackets as he need to fly to return back to Italy that night. He works for Giorgio Armani in Italy and his money was stolen at the club and he need to pay for the rental car when he gets to Airport. He showed me his passport and ticket say that to give him $500 to cover his cost and will give me the 3 jackets. I told him i don't have any cash and felt sad that he acted so distress so i told him, i can go home since i don't live far and i can scrap to give you $250 and when you get to Italy call me so we can find a rightful buyer for your jackets since i wouldn't like to rip anyone off just b'se he has lost his money. I was actually thinking of giving him the money without taking his jackets, but he insisted that he will have to pay taxes if he take the jackets back to Italy. I began to be suscpicious as he was changing his stories from working for Gorgio Armani to a businessman. But i was determine to help the guy, So I gave him $260 and there he goes. Fortunately, he is on my building camera from the point he came into the building, inside Elevator and leave the house. After he left I went online to see if he is not a scam Artist. I could not believe reading the same story from other people who came across this guy. The question is, should i report this guy as he is clearly captured in our building camera and probably he is a known scam artist and deserve to be in NY1. He takes advantage of people good faith for his greedy and selfishness. Not knowing that that is not a way to make a living, scaming people. |

October 10. 2013 Montreal. Quebec.
On Thursday my 81 year old mother was approached by 2 men. An Italian male who calls himself Luciano in his mid forties with black hair, facial hair and about 5'7/5'8 about 175 pounds. The driver with receding grayish hair who spoke very little in his late 50's. He approached my mother by identifying himself as my friend (using my name) and the coincidence is that I have an actual friend whose name is Luciano. My mother never met my friend but fell for the whole scenario that the Italian individual presented to her. My elderly mother was easily manipulated never thinking that they were scammers. They told her that I had ordered 3 jackets and that we were suppose to meet at our house for the payment but that they were in a hurry and could not reach me and couldn't wait until 5pm that evening. My poor mother not only road into the car with them but brought them to the front of the house. The driver stayed in the car and the Italian thief went upstairs with jackets in hand and followed my mother into the house. Thinking and believing that I had actually ordered these jackets took out money that she keeps in the house for emergencies (like many old Italian ladies do) and preceded to give him 500 dollars by the time he was done with her he scammed her out for 4000 dollars!! According to her he just talked over her put his hands into the envelope and quickly took off out the door unfortunately at this point she was too frightened. Everything happened very fast and was to stunned to react until I received endless calls from her where I was not able to answer the phone. She was and is totally devastated and heart broken because she feels ashamed and guilty not to mention scared to leave the house now.
I went to the police station spoke with a police officer who took it very seriously and concluded that they were stolen goods and considered this as a theft. She confiscated the 3 jackets and opened up a file. She was kind and understanding enough that she researched the police data base and happened to find an identical story dating back to October 6th 2012. Should anyone reading this have more detailed information as a plate number with the month and year of the rental (because they rent the cars and or jeeps) or a specific date it would be great if the info be shared as the car can be tracked down to the rental company and who would have rented it. As they would have had to have used their drivers permit and passport id. Any information that anyone deems important please post it. It would be greatly appreciated as these men need to face justice. They will do it again I have no doubt about it. I'm waiting for the day where they will stop and try the scamming story with me. It just so happened that the same individual tried this with me at a gas station 2x at a one year interval but never realized that the 2nd time it was me. I recognized him. He was alone both times and I honestly never thought he was a scammer. Fortunately I did not fall for his antics and never was scammed. He speaks Italian very well, he says he's from Rome and works for Armani and comes into town for fashion shows 2x a year. So he will be back! I believe he lives here in Montreal and so does his partner in Crime. So please anyone out there that thinks has information please share it. Thank you!

| I guess they made it to Arkansas. This guy also said that he didn't want to pay taxes on the jackets. So he sold me 6 jackets for $450. I guess he had a good story. Now for my stupidest thing I'm going to have to sell them least to get my money back. |

My hubby was approached today in a parking lot in San Clemente by the Italian dude who didn't want to pay the taxes to take the jackets back to Italy. He got 3 faux leather jackets for $90 that fit him like a glove & look great (he is a hard size to fit--broad shoulders, small waist) so was that such a bad deal? Anyone with half a brain could tell they weren't real leather nor Armani--but the workmanship is quality.
It cracks me up to read these reports from all these poor 'victims'. They were all fine with the fact that they were getting an extravagantly good deal at someone else's expense--what a coup! No one was being ripped off and they willingly gave the money, figuring they were getting designer stuff for a song. When it turns out they paid fair market value (in some cases even less) for some beautifully styled faux leather jackets, well now they have been ripped off, abused, taken advantage of! Who's the hypocrite? |

| I agree with Melstone up to a certain extent. Not all scenarios are the same. Scammers are what they are! It doesn't take away or make the crime any less. Especially when they approach elderly people and use manipulation and false pretext to get what they want...money!! In Canada this infraction for one anyway is considered theft. Not to mention that the goods (for my part were stolen). |

| Same basic scenario happened to me in Rancho Mirage CA. I paid $200 for 3 jackets that look quite nice but the two leather ones have a bad smell like gasoline. What's that about? |

Same guy. It's 02/11/2013.
He's now apparently in Pinole, CA in the Northern California area. Same deal. Same story. |

| Just saw him in menlo park, CA. Sold me a single jacket for $70. I should have dropped this guy. |

|
| haha, he got me too! Good for him. He really had charisma. I paid $200 US for a nice suit, 2 nice mens jackets and a womens jacket, shit, you couldnt get a deal like that at Ross! He really had me going, kinda funny reading all these stories. |

| Here in San Antonio I meet one of this guys driving a FIAT license plate of Texas CTT 3530. Almost same pattern (sad no girl was included). Bought three jackets for $120. The worst part of it is that I knew what was going on but the jackets looked nice. |

Good Day Everyone
I'm Mrs Sophie Kayden from North Carolina and I have been married to my husband for 8years and i live with him for 4 years before our marriage which made it all total of 12years together. We have a wonderful daughter who we both love dearly, my husband went to work in New York because he could not find work in our home state, while I was the only one working and taking care of our child back here in North Carolina {NC} and was preparing to move down to New York {NY} so she could school at Stony Brook University and we all would be together again, getting there, I found out that my husband is cheating on me, when I confronted him he lied and lied over and over again, and he keep on telling me that I need help that some thing is wrong with me and he is out there to work and to keep us happy and making preparation for us to move, and I all i can do is to accusing him, until one day when my husband's sister called me and told me everything, I was staying for 8months and that my husband is having an affair with her cousin and it's hurt her to see all this because I was the one suffering from all this, but he keep on denying all of it.
One Day I saw a testimony online about DR ABU, how he stop someone husband from cheating on his wife and I also contacted him for help because I had no other choice, after I email him i was told what was wrong with my husband that make him cheat on me all the time and that he have been doing this for a very long time even before he left NC for NY, funny enough DR ABU told me that it will not take more than three days, that after the spell have been caste that my husband will change totally and show me love like never before and that he has the money to make preparation for us to come over to NY to join him, but he have refused because of his cheating habits, and to my surprise it all happened exactly the same way he had said it just three days after the spell was caste. My husband called me asking for forgiveness and told me that all my suspicion was correct and that he was sorry for everything he had done in the past and that he would start with the preparation for us to come down to NY to meet him with our daughter immediately, now i am having a wonderful marriage today because of DR ABU, I and my husband are now living happily together with our daughter in NY and he have change totally, he now show me love, buy gifts when coming back from work and take care of me and the daughter like never before. I will always share this testimony to the whole world, so that anybody out there with the same problem can be saved, if you need any help in your marriage life you can contact DR ABU on his private mail [email protected], he will help you out, there's nothing too big for him.

I get rolled up the same way by most stories. He was young man with Italian accent, he start asking me the direction Edmonton, AB airport and finishes by selling to me 3 jackets for 400$. Because of the italian custom.
And feel I get scammed big time, because I am being nice and I want to help some one.
This guy was professional and not anything like addict. |
