Couple weeks ago i stopped at a station in in a nearby small town. A dark skinned man waves to me from an SUV and starts talking about needing gas money. I told him plenty of jobs around he ought to take one. Says no no and starts waving a gold colored ring at me. I told him to get. Talking to the cashier I said a guy outside tried to sell me a fake gold ring. She says "Again ? I am calling the sheriff". I look outside and he is waving it at another guy. So I asked if he was trying to sell him a fake gold ring. He laughs and says yes so I told the thief again he best get. The scammer starts berating me in a foreign language. Rolls up the window and flips me off still jabbering whiles he pulls away. I am mad now and kicked a big dent in his rear quarter panel as he is leaving. He kept going. Which I am glad of now. I was expecting a deputy to show up at my house for damaging his vehicle but no one did. Pretty dumb on my part but his accent sounded like phone scammers that want CC info.

I haven't been accosted yet but down here you gotta be wary because their is a steady flow of cartel traffic all hours of the day and any place no matter how desolate.
Conventional wisdom is that if a man with a gun wants to Jack your ride, let him take it. I and a good number of folks have decided we are too close to the border for that. Cartel thugs will put you down so you cannot flag down a ride and call 911. They only need a couple of hours to get South of the river and it will take longer than that for someone to ID your body and put out a BOLO for your ride.
Stay vigilant guys

You helped someone out. If it was a scam. It is on him. You did the right thing for sure. Always always do the right thing.
Wake up! There are so many illegals here now, who knows who is safe anymore!

Had something simalar happen to me at a rural gas station here in Iowa. Guy pulled up blocking me in with a new suberban. Asked me to come over, i came halfway and he pulls out a big ring. There was a woman on the passenger side and 2-3 in the back. I waived him away and jumped in my car as quick as possible. They pulled away and a new camaro next to me pulled out. They got on the interstate together headed east. Not sure what they were trying but they had me blocked in before they decided to leave. I had the same encounter at a gas station in Girard Illinois. The look on the guy's face when he realized I had just gave him a fake $20 bill was worth more than all his fake jewelry... and his used bmw.. lol I always kept a fake $20 bill in my wallet to use when I would find a pile of morel mushrooms or catch a fish. It was scaled down to 2/3rds of the actual size. It always gave me the edge when it came to bragging rights!  Ol dad

Most every town of 10,000 or more has at least one pawn shop. Most of the pawn shops have signs that say we buy gold and jewelry. They have means to check it as well. If someone needs money right now, has jewelry to sell, why would they be anyplace else????????
