Just telling everyone to get away from you is a poor way to go through life. Panicking and thinking everyone that either approaches you, or looks like they need help, is up to no good is silly. Besides, paranoia is one of the early signs of Alzheimer's (but I can't remember the other signs.
) 
You have to size up every situation and determine if it feels right. Could those guys have been using the 'push the dead car scheme' as bait to lure someone in? Sure, but there are a lot more out there that seriously need assistance. Sometimes you just have to use your head, keep your wits about you and go with your gut on what to do in these types of scenarios. 99.99% of the time you will be fine; for that other .01%, you have your CHL.
