You do look and sound like Dale Earnhardt Jr.
I look and sound like Bernie Madoff.
Let's meet in a Walmart parking lot... you give me your life savings which I will then invest.

Happened to me and a friend a few weekends ago in North Hills. We left Yardhouse and while pulling out of the parking lot a guy waved me down to stop. Got the "I'm about to run out of gas" story.......

Still waiting!
You let your wife give out your address to a meth addict?

It's funny to see these old stinking scams I've experienced 3-4 decades ago in big metro just manifesting in the south. What's next to appear on the scene Members Only jackets and Ford Pintos?! Lol

Hey I couldn't hold it in any longer. Just found it amusing.

That reminded me of the time I gave a guy who was begging at a stop sign some cereal bars I had with me; he said I'll have to wait to eat these, they don't go so good with drinking. **sigh**

Call me gullible if you want, but I tend to give assistance (including money) to those who ask it of me. I realize that many are not being truthful and taking advantage of me, but if there is just one person that truly needs help and I can provide it then I'm happy with my decision.

Many of us, if not most of us, would help someone in need, if they truthfully needed help, and we were able to provide. It's the lying that halts the process which is really too bad.
