You are pumping gas. A Romanian man covered in jewelry & driving a brand new Tahoe approaches you. He tells you that he’s a millionaire but lost his wallet while traveling & only needs $800 to get back home to Nevada. He gives you this gold ring off of his finger. His wife & kids then start pleading out the windows. One of the kids gets out of the vehicle & gives you this chain off of his neck. What do you do in this situation?

The same thing I do with any rando at a gas station with a sob story.
I rest my hand on my open carry sidearm and tell him to fuck off or find out.
It would never get to the point where he is trying to place fake jewelry in my hands, I shut down all such interactions instantly and decisively.

I guess the aim of this scam is to target the victims greed. Which means all the people accepting, have already made their minds up about keeping the jewelry and not returning it once he returns with the $800.
Scammers are kinda based.

I run a jewelry store, and this has happened at least 12 times since January, and quite a few times before that. It's always some muslim dude speaking Spanish (which apparently he spoke with a Central American accent according to one of the suckers I talked to), and his wife and kids are in the car. He asks for cash for a ring and a chain that are stamped 18kt. Of course they look fake as shit to me, but the normies fall for it EVERY FUCKING TIME.

He pretends to be the victim. his victims think they come out on top by stealing from him because they perceive the chain and ring to be more valueable than the money they're giving for it.
He's scamming people targeting their greed and the dishonest ones will fall for it.
Cause if you're actually honest, emotionally and intelectually there's a 100 other things you could do for him to help him out.

You’re 100% correct, I’m not disputing that. What I am saying is:
1. Who carries around that much cash naturally
2. Who would walk with a stranger to an ATM and put themselves in that kind of vulnerability
3. Believe that a millionaire is just driving around without a smart phone and can’t get their own cash or use their credit card
I’m average IQ at best but this screams scam from the moment he walks up

its multifaceted

you get the people who hate foriegners who want to "come up" on their feigned "desperation"

you get the kind people who will just give them "gas money" to "get back home" and dont want to take their kids chain whos popping out of nowhere to offer it to you

you get the people who are intimidated by his size and being approached in such a manner in an environment that most people aren't expecting (gas station)

its deep, and im sure its highly successful, particularly in cities like boise id who arent hip to this shit

the number isnt important. $800 is a starting figure that is based off what he sees the potential of you having on hand or in an atm to give him

>Shmuel says that it is permitted to financially benefit from a business error of a gentile, i.e., it need not be returned. The Gemara notes that this is like that incident where Shmuel purchased a golden bowl [lakna] from a gentile in exchange [bemar] for the price of an iron bowl, which was four dinars, and Shmuel included one additional dinar in the payment so that the gentile would not realize his mistake.
