*** ITALIAN REPORTAGE CON-MAN -STILL AT IT! ***
As per the stories above, I was conned by a very smart Italian man yesterday. Same old story - had been to a fashion show, had some samples left over and couldn't take them with him on his flight back to Milan - would I like to take them off his hands. He shows me 2 very nice leather and 2 suede mens jackets - brand new RGA Reportage brand (I've never heard of them - he says they are Armani).
I'm not interested - but he's very persuasive - has 4 shirts, ties and belts he also can't take. Wants 300 for everything - I say no - he says well how much could I afford to give him then? I agree to give him 180 - he's not happy but reluctantly agrees.
Anyway - it wasn't until I searched the web & found this post that I realised it was a scam. I've paid 180 for 4 jackets and some shirts I didn't really want.
Nevertheless - they are all good quality and brand new - so they seem to be a bargain - and luckily are mostly my size.
Unfortunately you probably won't be reading this until it's too late.
I wonder if there are more than one of these guys going around "selling" this stuff?
Anyeway - WATCH OUT - if a bargain SEEMS too good to be true - then it probably IS to good too be true!
