Re: Parking lot scam or prelude to robbery?

I had something very similar happen with my wife's car, which needed a new bumper at that time because of a collision. Turns out he was trying to scam me.

The man hopped out and asked if I wanted it fixed. He was with his girlfriend and child, so I felt okay in the moment. He said he would fix it for a fraction of the price of a new one. He would apply a paste to it, he said, and 'reshape' the fiberglass. After applying what looked like turtle wax, he said it would magically pop out the dents...

Your guy was a scammer, no doubt. Who knows what he wanted to offer, but it sure wasn't going to work. On top of that, anything like that with three men behind it could turn ugly quick. Probably a coincidence, but the man who offered to 'help' me was hispanic too.

Needless to say, I declined the original scammer's services.
