    Not so much a scam as scabbing. They just pray peoples good will. We've less of that than money these days so I'd say there's a roma recession too.

    Yes OP I was acquainted this guy before on the slip road at Kilcullen heading southbound (before the new motorway had opened) in a maroon car. He was on his own.

    I said would I ring AA for him he said no thanks ...
    Left him for dust

    Edit : I was on the Off Ramp so there was no way I could reverse up it.

    The "latest scam"? :confused::confused:

    That one is as old as the hills.:rolleyes::rolleyes:

    Some scams that are ancient in one country and few there would ever fall for them work well in a new place. A good example was in Finland last summer, when guys touring rural and suburban areas in vans offered to paint roofs dirt-cheap and, when they began the work, discovered that the job would be much bigger than first thought and could they have a little deposit to get some paint and stuff ...:rolleyes::rolleyes:

    When the home-owner gave them money, they departed and were not seen again.:)

    According to the police, their vehicles had Irish registration plates.:eek:

    Romanian Roma gypo trying to scam the arse off ye.

    most roma are NOT romanian... they are italian

    the term Roma comes from roman not romania


    lol - who told you that ??

    no its not.

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roma_people

    the roma have nothing to do with italy other than the fact they have infested northern Italian towns , and the right wing Italians want to burn them

    in fairness - they don't even look Italian - nothing close

    just a tip - NEVER say what you just posted to a Italian
    they are likely to beat the crap out of you

    gas !!!

    i was in Finland a few years ago , went to the family graves on Christmas evening , now everyone else parked at the car park and walked to the graves in silence , respect and all that
    when 3 Mercedes people carriers arrived , DROVE into the graveyard , this alone being a massive no no , they (at pace ) got to where they wanted , and loads piled out and started to shout , drink and flick cig ends ,

    could not believe what i was seeing , the lack of respect shown was monumental - these people just dont give a flying fU2k ,

    these had German registration plates on them , this crowd were dripping in gold and were driving top line mercs worth at least 40k each
    who says crime does not pay
