The Old 'Out Of Gas' Ploy!

by Joseph Murphy McMillan

When I and my family went to Washington, D.C., as we were about to enter our hotel, a reasonably decent looking fellow came quickly up to us, and, smiling pleasantly, told us he had run out of gas and needed just a few dollars to fill a gas can. My mother, being a nice person, gave him the money.

I, however, was skeptical. He thanked us and went off on his way. When we were later leaving the hotel, I saw him across the street pulling the same scam on another group of people. I shouted to them that he was a con-man and he tried to laugh it off but I got my point across and he had to abandon that particular scam. I have since been approached with the same scam a few times but obviously they got nothing out of me and now they should get nothing from you!
