So Friday night im parking my car on King Street, and i walk up to the green parking pay box. This older stalky guy runs up in front of me and says "i need change let me buy your ticket" as he sticks his credit card in. He looks normal enough so i agree. He hands me the ticket and i put it in my car, i give him the 8 bucks and thats that. So im walking down the street 30 seconds later and im thinking to myself "that guy was really nice.... wait a minute, this is toronto, people here arent that nice... whats up?"
I go back to the car and look at the ticket. It was bought at the SAME LOCATION at almost THE SAME TIME but THE DAY BEFORE. So i was lucky enough to catch up with him on the other side of the street. I approach him and said "we have a problem" and told him that the ticket was for the 19th but today was the 20th. He said "well u saw me buy the ticket blah blah blah" so he took out his card and bought a ticket. This time it was real.
Now i dont know what to think of this. Obviously its a scam but is he scamming the $8 or does it run deeper than that? My question is, how does he get EXPIRED parking tickets for the same location and the same times but on different days?
This guy was no crackhead either. He looked like a big burly blue collar type of guy.
Something stinks thats all i can say!! |

Yea.. I wonder how the scam works.. i mean it's 8 bucks.. The guy has to somehow GET the ticket. and obviously he doesn't get it back after he scams you...
Interesting though. |
