 4 Selling of goods

Cheap Designer Gear.

Car boot sales, street sellers, "the bloke in the pub" all try to sell you cheap designer gear, perfume, watches etc.
Do you REALLY believe they are Rolex, Cartier, Pierre Cardin, Gucci, YSL, Chanel etc. etc??

NO! Of course not!

Cigarettes and tobacco sold from vans

You hand over the money and the man tells you he just has to get them from the van. Bye Bye man, Bye Bye money!

Last summer, we received reports that a white male is trying to sell carpets from his van at reduced and tempting rates. After gaining his victims trust he then attempts to get larger amounts of cash for a second "better quality" carpet. This appears to be a good bargain but after parting with large sums of money the true value of the carpet is only a fraction of the amount paid for.
