Loading up my shopping in Tesco's car park this morning, approached by a guy in a green P reg Rover. I would guess him to be late thirties black hair with a thick Italian accent. He told me that he had just been to a sales exhibition, was going back to Italy tomorrow and didn't need his samples anymore. Showed me a boot full of jackets apparently suede and leather, said he wanted to give them to me. He said that they retail at £150 and that I could have four for that price. I'm afraid I got suckered in but luckily only had twenty quid on me. He said that I could have one for that. So I bought this "suede" jacket for £20.
I knew it wasn't on the up and up, I just got greedy. I put it on when I got home, and to be fair, it's styled for a younger man (without a belly) not my middle aged paunch. My wife turned her nose up at it . Well I could always eBay it, well perhaps not, it's not real suede and there were many similar for under a tenner.
With a little research this evening I have found that this is a worldwide scam and has been going on for a number of years.
Moral of the story, If the deal is too good to be true, it's probably not true.
Now does anyone want to buy a tan suede jacket from a famous Italian fashion house? I'll make you a special deal.
