You are filling your tank and a man approaches you, holding an empty fuel can. “Sorry to bother you sir, I just ran out of gas two blocks away”, he says. He will say that he forgot his wallet at home but he might even hand you a fake business card or write down a name, address and phone number. “I just need $10-15 sir, to get a few liters until I get home. I’ll return the money, if you just give me a call or give me your number”.

How to avoid: yeah well, if you fall for this one, there isn’t a lot we can do to help you.
