Too nice/naive for my own good
    #23748110 - 10/18/16 07:38 AM (7 years, 3 months ago)

I was hanging out at a park and a stranger approaches me with a story of how he lost his ID and really needed to exchange some clothes for store credit. Turned out he lacked the reciepts too.
  Me being the fool that I am just hopped into his car and headed to return the two slacks. Then he tells me he has two more but we have to go to a different store of the same name. I return them there too. Both stored required me to show my ID since I didn't have reciept. He drops me off after exchanging contact information.
    He seemed like a really cool and honest guy but now I'm beating myself up over the fact that it might've all been stolen merchandise or had the tags changed.
     
    I'd like to hear some legal advice though there's probably nothing I can do.

    If anything, this is just a PSA that there's people out there who help themselves to problems.

That's not being too nice for you own good. That's just plain stupid. Like regardless of what the status of the slacks are, why would you do something like that for a complete and total stranger. Don't you have people you love and care about that need your time and attention. Why wouldn't you ask for payment at least.

Oh and you definitely helped in a scam. And didn't even ask for payment.

I dunno about the legal side. I've been fucked over by being too nice and thinking too much of people too. The most recent repercussions of this was being sued for 50 grand. No the fuckers didnt get that much but you can't go back into the past and change it. Just try to learn from it man. There are other better ways to help people and ones that will keep your conscience a bit more clean.


Gotta watch your back out in the world sadly enough. There is always a viper among the reeds.

I lack almost the most common of sense there is out there. He did offer payment but i thought i was just helping someone in a rut out.

And thanks cookiecrumbs. I'll stop stressing and just see where it leads.

Many weird things have been happening lately. Meeting all kinds of people.

You live and learn.
When I was younger I used to wanna please everyone and found myself in a lot of similar situations.
You'll become more aware and grow tired of those games after you fall victim to them enough times.

This is the second story I've read on here in the last few days where some overly open moron put themselves in a situation because they don't know that most people are scammers and lyers

The other story was a huge post about someone who was on meth and wanted to save a girl from abuse, but she didn't want it.

He made a comment how he wanted to remain open to people, and was meeting all sorts of people. Scammers see people like that, like you, and you are obvious.

You don't have common sense? Well, you should develops some. Learn from your mistake, which you didn't get paid.

Yeah, you definitely aided in a typical junkie scam.  The slacks were stolen, he needed you to return them because most stores only allow a couple receiptless returns.  To keep track of who is returning stuff without a receipt, they need your ID.  My best guess as to why he asked you, a stranger, is because either all his friends have maxed out their amount of non-receipt returns, or because he knows the most you were gonna take on it was a few bucks- his addict pals would want a cut of the dope bought with the money gained from their returns.

The concern here is not legal stuff; this store isn't gonna track you down and press charges.  The worst part is that you exchanged contact info with this guy.  He saw your incredible naïveté, and knows that you are someone he can take advantage of.  Don't allow that.  Do not take calls from him, do not reply to texts.  Delete the texts without opening them.  Black hole his communications entirely, he will eventually give up. 

Also worrying is that you met some random dude at a park, and freely went in his car after hearing, "I need your help to return pants."  You've gotta be more aware than this.  That car could've been stolen, or he could've had drugs stashed under your seat.  And do you think the cops are going to believe your story of "I don't know this guy, I'm just helping him return pants"?  Or he could've been a maniac murderer.  Be thankful that the only thing that happened is that you were used as the patsy in a stolen merchandise scam, and learn from this.  Ffs.

On our way back to the park his girl called him and his phone was connected thru the bluetooth to the car. She sounded mad telling him that he shouldn't have left his kids locked in the bathroom. He unplugs it calls her back and turns the volume all the way down:rofl:

Thank you all for your words of wisdom. I wasn't even thinking of the car being stolen or even me getting stolen lol!
It's a huge playground and i see you all as my friends who were here before i showed up.

Yeah, and when there's a viper, you know there's a pusher selling reefers by the ace and the deuce

Store isnt going to do anything about it. You are fine.

But yeah that was a really foolish thing to do for some random guy. I honestly am baffled when reading your post. Idk how you could believe some shit like that.

People will walk right over you.
