Here are some tips to limit the chances you fall for a scam.
One story I tell is being duped out of twenty bucks in San Francisco. I was in line to enter a parking lot and the lot attendant was collecting the $20 entrance fee. The three cars in front of me paid, then it was my turn. I pulled up, he handed me a yellow dashboard ticket and asked for $20, and I handed it over.
As I was parking I saw the official parking lot company van pull in and the “attendant” ran off.
What just happened? That guy was the attendant. He had an official-looking windbreaker on. He had the yellow tickets. Everyone else paid him.
But we’d all been duped by some random guy who made $80 in about five minutes.
