I like the one that goes,
Him, "Hey man help a Viet Nam vet"
Me "How old are you?"
He "38".
Me, "You were pretty young when you were in Viet Nam huh?" or "Were you on our side?"

Yes and old scam. Quite often they hang around a Car Wash? I have been approached numerous times. Usually something like me and the wife, just can't make it home to Timbuktu, for some unexplainable reason which is no fault of their own, they don't have the money for gas, repairs, etc. Some even carry a empty gas can. If you tell them you cant help and they have hit up everyone in the area , their "out of gas car" mysteriously runs on vapors as they continue in search of the next sucker. 2 days ago a fine Gentleman approached me at a car wash, as I was washing the Vehicle. "Hey Brother" he said as he approached me between my vehicle and the car wash wall. I really didn't want to give him a shower, even though he may have been in need. I pointed my free finger at him at told him to " Get Back" . He seemed somewhat saddened by my refusal to listen to his spiel, as he continued through the stalls in search of his next free lunch.

I had one at a gas station hitting me up for money for a gas can, said he was out of gas on a road nearby. He had 12 dollars, and the can was 15. He wanted 5 bucks so he could get the can and some gas.

So I just bought him the can. Since he had $12 he can fill up the can, and some gas for his car, so he should be good to go!

Oh man that was not the response he was looking for. When I left he was trying to get a refund from the clerk, to get some cash out of the gas can.

Years ago in the OKC area I used to see this guy that acted like he was deaf. He would make slurred deaf mute sounds and hold out his hand. If you tried to walk away from him would get louder and follow you and make a scene. It was a good scam for him. I saw him at a 7-11 after seeing his act earlier that morning flirtiing with the clerk buying a 40. I swear he pulled a roll of cash I couldn't wrap my hand around. I was behind him and asked him for the time and he turned answered me.

I had one these hit me up at QT 6 years ago. When I said no he grabbed my arm while i was trying to get into my truck it did not end well for him. Not all of these scammers are willing to drop it after a firm no.
