This guy is now in Beltsville MD. Got me in the Costco parking lot. I fell for the scam. Cost me $100. He's driving a black SUV with Virginia plates.

A guy approached me yesterday, Giuseppe Monaco, in a grocery store parking lot. I was loading my groceries into the car when he pulled up in a Mazda CX5 SUV. He asked me if I was Italian. He spoke with a heavy Italian accent. He said he is from Milano,Italy. He was attending a fashion sales meeting in the San Francisco Bay Area and said he was going to be heading back home.

He had sample leather jackets he brought from Italy for the meeting. The sample leather jackets are for the Armani Emporio Callezione Brand label jackets for the next model year. He said did not want to bring the jackets back to Italy and pay extra baggage fees.

He had six mens jackets that he would like to give to me, for a small price, as he wanted to buy his daughter the latest Apple Phone but wanted to pay cash for the phone rather than use his credit card.

He took the jackets out of these nice logo'd bags for me to see. He showed me the Armani Brand labels, including the "made in Italy" label. They even a spare button in a nicely packaged container attached to the coats. He then pulls out a cigarette lighter and puts a flame to the jackets to show they are inflammable (not sure what that meant from making the deal).

My first reaction was to be suspicious. Why would some guy that I don't know, want to do something like this for me? Also, I'm not big on leather jackets and I am not a brand conscious consumer. So, I pushed back saying that I have a much less expensive no-brand made in China leather jacket and I wear it 2-3 times a year and that I didn't need more jackets. I'm really not interested.

He kept saying "do you know much these jackets are worth?" That I was getting a bargain to get 6 leather Armani jackets for $300. I still was hesitant, so he pulled out a womens jacket thinking I might want that for my wife.

I still hesitated, so he pulls out his Italian Drivers License (With European Union logo). I hesitated so he pulled out his Medical ID card (same logos). I hesitated, so he pulls out his rental agreement and airline ticket info.

So now I was beginning to switch gears thinking that even though if I personally did not need or want another leather jacket and I don't likde status stuff e.g. Armani, they would, however, make good gifts.

So I said ok, but I don't have cash, only a credit card. He points to the Bank of America across the street and says "do you have an ATM card?"

You guessed it! I went over to the B of A and withdrew $300 cash to pay for the 7 jackets. My thinking now, having read the other experiences that sound very similar, that I've been had. So I felt somewhat emasculated by that.

But I thinking, I did get 7 nice "leather" jackets with the Armani Brand. That's about $45 each. So, even though they are probably fake, and that I have been had, they would still be a good gifts as knockoffs novelties items.

But the bottom line is I could have used the $300 for something I really needed rather than a novelty gift for 7 other people.......

I forgot one thing. This guy, Giuseppe, has the same name and looks a lot like the picture of the Guiseppe, that scammed the entry recently posted by someone just before my entries.

If it is the same guy, he mmust be doing a lot of travel as a sales rep for a Chinese knockoff Armani jacket factory!!

The weather is starting to get chilly and I need a new jacket. I was very happy with a previous fake Armani jacket I bought from these guy in Ashburn a few years ago and would like to purchase another one. Anyone know how to contact them or where they are working?

They are back at Reston Town Center today. Giuseppe and his partner were parked outside Jackson's on Democracy Dr in a white SUV. A customer had just purchased a jacket and they were starting to leave but I recognized Giuseppe and flagged them down. At first I offered him $10 but he claimed the jackets were worth $1,500 each. So I (half-jokingly) offered $1,500 for 150 jackets and he said he did not have that many with him. After we dickered a bit we settled on 2 good jackets and one with a small burned spot on the sleeve for $50 total. The damaged jacket was otherwise in excellent condition. I think he had held the flame in one spot too long and caused a melted area which is not all the way through and not really even noticeable.

So far I am very happy with the $50 purchase. I mostly fixed the melted spot and I got compliments on it when I wore it back to my office. For about the same price Alibaba has more variety for both real and imitation leather, but you have minimum order quantities and shipping.

Beware - an Italian guy scamming Emporio in Paris

Posted by: Bob Thomson ()

I got caught on the edge of the Bois du Bologne in Paris by a guy claiming to be Italian in Paris for a fashion show who had to get rid of a bunch of clothing before returning to Italy. I paid 240 Euros for 3 coats of which one is OK but probably faux leather, not real leather. He claimed the buttons on one long coat/jacket were silver. I should have known better.

So these two italian guys in a parking lot try to scell me a cell phone "new".

I said, "hey the seal is broken on that it's not new", they said "it's a great deal it's new". I think that's a geek squad phone used for 2 years though no scratches hardly.

They said it's Moto 5G in box!

I said "that's a mediatek phone - the iPhone5 had an A6 chip - the mediatek phone are just above flip phones they were the cheap asian iPhone look-alikes in the 2000's that weren't smart and didn't have software"

They said "no it's 5G look at the specs"

I SAID, HEY - AT&T DOESN'T REQUIRE 5G TO SIGN ONTO IT'S NETWORK - THEY BLOCK PHONE MODELS PURELY FOR FORCE PURCHASES. That phone saying it's 5G doesn't mean crap unless you have a microscope, survace the chips, and show me they aren't just selling old chips and keeping quiet about it because their china masters have told them to.

JUST BECAUSE IT'S SOFTWARE SAYS 5G DOESN'T MEAN YOU'LL EVER GET 5G SPEEDS that are anything except Wifi 6 (which is intel design not asian design).

So I said, "Hey get outa here. That's not a smart phone that's a cheap copy that isn't shut off "because it's not 5G" only because they are a favored status. I wouldn't give you $75 for it".

Come back to me when you have your hands on something hot, not something cooollllddddd.

It just so happens the $110 to $200 MotoG motorola is headed by 2 italian guys, asians, some malicious foreigners who aren't from usa: AND NONE OF THEM ever designed a phone - the MOTO G 5G is an asian phone. IT'S A CHINESE PHONE. THE FUCKING chinese are using a USA MILITARY / CAR MAKER brand name (probably paid the CEO $0.0025 per phone sold for the brand name). Chinese phone nobody employed in USA

(nothing against MediaTek they make economical chips not global cell frauds sales nor does mediatek force microsoft google ubuntu redhat to release malware)

I've been looking for the jacket vendors and want to purchase a couple gifts. Has anyone seen them recently and know if they have any special offers or sales going on? Thanks.

It's Christmas shopping season and a good time to pick up some synthetic leather jackets for family and friends. Hanging them outdoors in the breeze for a few days will get rid of any residual chemical odor.
