This happened to me right after I saw an investigative report about the "white van" speaker scam. It was a white van and they were selling speakers ...hmmm.
I was walking to my car in a Kroger parking lot and they pulled right next to me. They gave a story about overstocked inventory and were very persistant. So, not being particularly bright at these moments, I thought I'd be a smart-ass and ask them all kinds of questions about the speakers, brands, applications, electronic specs, etc. (just like the TV guy) and act real interested.
They were my best friends until I said, "and I'm sure you won't mind if I have a look at the invoices for the equipment?" (again, like on TV) Their reaction appeared somewhat shaken and taken back. Then I thought they were going to jump out of the van and chase me through the parking lot. They were hanging out the window yelling "mother fucker" and "kick your ass" and so on as they slowly pulled awy. Then (I'm thinking fortunately for me), they left very quickly.
My wife says I'm going to get hurt someday. She hates it when I talk to strangers.
