Default New twist on "Old Gas Scheme" WARNING SO CAL

Allright guys well i think at least once in ur lifetime u have had the " i ran out of money and i need to borrow money for gas" trick . Anyways last week around 2 AM i saw a stranded explorer on the side with its emergency lights and 4 ladies asking for help they told me they had run out of gas and if i could help them push the car into a gas station. at this point 3 other people had stopped and helped me push the car. i never carry cash so i did not help and went on my way. though the other guys did chip in. at this point i did not think too much of it. HERE IT COMES..... i just came home and saw the same SUV with the same 4 girls pulling the same stunt. I guess there going to greater lenghts now to pull people in. So just a warning to So Cal to be careful wen a situation arrises like this. Now this was by my house here in the San Fernando Valley so i expect the valley people to be more careful. BUT ALL OF SO CAL BE CAREFLUL!

the girls in southern cali do that not only for GAS.. they do that at the BARS too.. they bring no money to the bar and expect guys to buy them drinks all night long.. it's SO annoying.. all the girls in so cal think they are models so they act like stuck up hoes..

haha... well if it was an SUV maybe it was a scheme! It's not like the guys helping are going to come up with a big amount of money to give them. They probably gave them like $5. Then the girls put $5 into their SUV and that gets them about another block down the street... where they run out of gas again. haha. Time to buy a civic.
