Drivers beware: Roadside scammers offering 'gold' for cash. It’s fake.

[@prestige6123]

What makes people fall for this scam is their own greed. The scammer is not taking advantage of kindness. The reason they offer the “gold” is to tap into that greed. Emergency gas money might be $20-$30. Not $2500!

[@johnlone207]

Remember, you'll never see a millionaire, let alone a millionaire from Dubai, or an Arab millionaire caught dead in a situation like, period.

[@ajack1312]

I know haha, I had an Arab dude try this on me recently but he drove up in a new luxury SUV saying he needed gas money to get to the airport while I was walking into a friends house. He put a bunch of gold jewelry in my hands and I had to keep handing it back to him. He said he was from Dubai and this is on the West Coast, nowhere near where this video happened so they must have a script or all use the same story. I was laughing about it with my friends afterwards like "How does a rich guy from Dubai need gas money?" People are stupid, I can't believe people fall for this.

[@devinstewart2973]

Sorry, long story here. I'm actually really disheartened, because this happened to me today. Guy approaches as I'm pumping gas. He says he's from Dubai. Now, I happen to speak Arabic, so I ask him "oh, tahki arabi?" (Do you speak Arabic?) And he replies "yes yes" and so then i go on for a few sentences, but he keeps replying in English, which I find strange, but then, since I'm not a native speaker, I think "oh, he must hear my accent or something" so eventually I switch back to English. He's got 3 females in the back, 2 who look like they're 12, one who looks like the mother, and there's a boy who looks about 16 in the front. I guess he caught on to the fact that I found it strange that he wasn't speaking Arabic with me, and as an explanation for his lack of fluency in Arabic, he says "my mother is Arab, but my dad is Bosnian" to which I think "okay, sounds plausible". He says he's on his way to his brother's house in Florida and that people stole $3000 from him, and that the police couldn't help him. He then says "but my family isn't poor, look, here's my watch. My family is made of millionaires" and he starts pointing to his watch and necklace, which I'm uninterested in. He tries to offer them as collateral, but I'm a Sikh, i take my religion very seriously, and we believe in helping people whenever we can. So i tell him not to worry about the necklace, we can work out the details later. I agree to pay for the gas, and i proceed to fill the car up. The car was empty, and when combined with the fact that he had me call his phone, which had a florida area code, it seemed to corroborate the story that he's from Florida. So I'm about to leave, and he's like "brother, we need food, my kids are hungry, please help my children". Initially, I said "that's all I can do now" and he says "please, my kids need to eat, can you give us $60 so that we can eat?". I give in, and go inside to the ATM, get the money, and give it to him. He puts his forehead to my hand they all say thank you, and they left. However, something just didn't feel right. He said he'd call me tonight to talk about repayment, and he never called of course. I typed in "I'm from Dubai and need gas money" into Google, and sure enough, found out I was scammed. It made me upset because now I just don't know when I should trust people. When should I ignore the pleas of someone on behalf of their alleged children? At the end of the day, I have decided to let it be with God, I can't do anything anyway. I know that my heart was in the right place. In the moment, I just couldn't understand why someone would lie and debase themselves in front of their own child, especially their own daughters and wife. But alas, not everyone is like us. I'll just be more discerning in the future. I share this story for other like-minded people. Please, be more discerning in your attempts to help people. You have your own life to think about as it is. We need to be sparing with our charity sometimes.

It was weird and I noticed some red flags, but if he was really in need of help I decided I could fork over 20$. Anyways he was trying to give me a ring but I wasn’t going to help in exchange for anything so I gave it to him. Also there was some talking as I was trying to figure out the situation, he was then trying to offer me his chain. Anyways it came down to him asking for it, I ended up giving him the 20$ just in case. But my main concern was, he had children, I really do hope that was his family. Just know anyone you see a guy trying to offer you jewelry, it’s most likely a scammer.

During covid a white man asked at a convenient store/gas station if anyone could help him with gas. I was suspicious about him at first and when he went outside I asked if anyone knew him. The cashier said she knew him and it was true- plus his wife just died and his 2vlittle ones were with him. I ended up filling up his tank. I'm not telling this because I think I'm a hero or something. It just so happens that only a week before I was in the same situation where a total stranger did the same for me. I didn't ask him. He saw me sobbing at the gas pump and it was only the day before my husband had passed away. That stranger was my guardian angel- but I also believe you should always pay it forward!❤

The Arabian man was claiming that he needed money. My friend told the Arabian that he wants to buy the gold, but he left his wallet at his house. So we both agree that they would meet us back at our “house”. We arrived at farm with a empty house . Once we arrived at the house, my friend went inside the “house” to retrieve his “wallet”. He comes outside, approaches the Arabian . Then he reaches into his pocket as if he was going to take his wallet out. But it wasn’t no wallet tho. It was a pistol(ruger 9m). He put the gun to his head and told him to get out of the car, he took all of his “gold”. He took his phone, wallet, the stripped him down to his underwear and told him he had 10 seconds to get in his car and leave the town. The he aimed the gun at the Arabian and shot the gun, but missing on purpose. The bullet hit the ground next to him. He was so scared he got in his car and drove fast....I’m pretty sure my friend scared him shitless. Now he will think about it the next time he sells fake gold.

This happened to me yesterday, a guy from BMW SUV approached me and claiming that he’s from Dubai and that he’s a millionaire over there, showed his family and and asked for money claiming they were visiting from Dubai drove to California from Florida and they ran out of cash. The only reason why I gave them money is because I felt bad for the kids. I gave him $115 and he just hand out his necklace and ring as a token of appreciation. Beware guys, they’re here in Los Angeles County

[@xaviervillanueva2091]

I just got scammed by that man. My values were to take care of his family and his needs to go back to California. I should have known but I will be careful next time by these people. This hurts after giving them the last of what I had saved up.

[@doorguru168888]

The last of what you've saved up? Why would you do that? that's plain foolishness

[@tayodollaz5455]

This just happened to me at a Wal-Mart in Memphis...the guy had his family saying he was stranded and needed money for gas and food. He tried to sell me the jewelry but I only had 10 bucks on me so I gave it to him and kept it pushing. Had no idea this was a scam

I had the “ Dubai” version happen to me in Arizona on a road trip last summer. As soon as the man started explaining his plight, and getting the jewelry out, all with sad faced wife and kids in the car, I sensed the scam and laughed, turned and walked away.

This just happened to me today in the west suburbs of Chicago. Only this time he claimed to be Latino and he had to get to new york. He offered me his gold rolex and rings for $500 but I wasn’t interested in any of that. I ended up giving him $20 for gas but nothing more because I had a voice in my head tell me something wasn’t right. Stay sharp out there everyone.

[@doorguru168888]

If something wasn't right you shouldn't have gave him the $20

[@RobinaB530]

This happened to my friend. He was excited to show me a gold necklace and bracelet a guy sold him just like this for over $200. I later saw them at TJ Maxx for $19.99 each. Good plate looks so real.

This happened to me a few months ago. I knew it was fishy the second the approached me. The guy looked like DJ Khaled and offered me this “gold ring” that I immediately knew was fake due to the poor quality engraving. I told them I was a broke college student and his pig-ugly wife asked, “You don’t even have 300 or 400 dollars you could spare?” And I just said, “No woman! I don’t!” Glad I didn’t spare a dime on them. No broke people drive an Escalade. In hindsight, I should’ve called the police on them, but what vile scumbags.

[@saintdiegobeatz6277]

This guy approached me in the same way. Black Escalade. Had his 2 teenagers w him. Offered me his gold ring and necklace for gas money. I was like wtf? First thing I thought was why don’t you just pawn it? The kids looked at me like I was a sucka so I knew right away. Man put his gold in my hand and told me to inspect it. Said he really needed the gas money I said man I can’t help you 😂😂. Swear next week, different man approached me in the same parking lot with the same shit smh
