What creative scenarios have people used to try and hustle you?

[hankzilla]

1. Went to Postnet to ship out some SBs...RIGHT as I park some bum starts washing my windshield with an old wiper no water nothing just wiping collecting MORE dirt on my windshield. I pretend I didn't notice him. I almost get to the door thinking I'm home free duke asks "Hey man can you spare me some change".

Gave him $5 which was what I going to use to ship my shoes but I'm cool with the owner of the store so he hooked it up since he saw me get hustled.

2. Went to go get GH Metallica as SOON as I get out my car some black nasty booty smelling bum approaches me asking for change.

Give him $2 hoping he'd leave me alone but then duke starts giving me his whole life story like I GIVE A #&#. Finally done duke offers me a hand shake I accept it.

Most stupidest thing I've ever done. Smelled my hand like 2 sec it smelled like cigarettes. Went to ross to clean my hands like a mad man. Had me thinking I had aids.

I reach into my pocket and throw him $3.  He says thanks and walks off.  5 seconds later this other dude walks next to me and says, "He got you".  Naturally im like, huh?  He says, "Let me guess, he lost his wallet and needs to get home to PA?  Hes here everyday with the same line?"
Immediately I take off running and a lil while later I find his asking this white woman for money.... yea, I know 

Me: YO!
Him: Wassup brotha?
Me: My man back there said you here everyday with the same story
Him: Man I just need to get home (Bla bla bla)
Me:  You said you needed $2.50, I just gave you 3 bucks.
Him: I was just askin for some change to use the phone so I can let my people know Im on the way.
Me: Bull $!+$!
Him: So what you sayin?  You want ya money back? (Proceeds to wave around my $3)
Me: Yes (Proceeded to snatch my money back),
Then I just walked away.  It was funny because when I walked away homeboy still had his hand up as if he was still holding the money like he was just in shock

I know exactly who you're talking about.

That dude lurks NJ transit and Penn Stantion. It seems like he just rides from place to place eventually ending up in NY Penn.

EDIT:

@ him waving your $3 bucks in your face.

on one occassion, i just got off my job at baskin robbins (2005) and my friend came to chill. while we're talking, this lady comes up to us with one of those portable gas tanks and starts going off about how they're out of gas and need to go visit her mom in the hospital or some %$%%. anyway, i felt bad so i gave her $2. we ended up following her when she left and after a few mins, down the street, she pulls up into an empty best buy parking lot to ask some other people for money. i roll down my window and scream "DON'T GIVE HER MONEY SHES A +@+%*+% SCAMMER." at this point the other person freaks out and hops in their car and bones out. the lady, looking all pissed, calls me a liar and gets in her car. we ended up chasing her in our car until we arrived in her neighborhood. all of a sudden, she hit the brakes and went into reverse, i guess trying to scare us or !%*# my car up. i freak out but hit reverse and since my car's a bit faster than hers, i pulled away a bit. out of nowhere though, she turns sharply and seriously just spins right into this van on the side of the road and the alarm starts going off. i look at my friend with this bewildered face like "omg i can't believe that just happened" and then we ended up just boning out. don't know what happened to that lady or the owner of that van haha.

Has to be when some @*%%$ got me with the whole hurricane katrina disaster some years ago

Her: my name is ______ and I am from New Orleans (she sounded like she was from the south

) my family and I were relocated out here (which a lot of people were relocated to cali) and I was given this job with _____ and I sell magazines subscriptions. The person who sells the most subscriptions will get help to go to college. 

Me ( the sucker): Sorry to hear that. I will love to help you. 

She continued with her story and selling points and everything seemed ok.

Long story short. I gave the @*%%$ 40 bucks

. Everything seemed so legit because she had paperwork and everything. However, I never got my +!%#+!% magazines.

I've been going hard on begging m$#@^&%$#@#$ every since.

The ones that always get me are the people with animals.

I see a bum i don't make eye contact and i say no i don't have any thing sorry and keep it moving.

In Philly around 30th street station there was always a young girl who was dirty as hell with her dog chained to her....for some reason i saw that and always felt bad. She was the only bum i would give loose change too.
