'3 Card monte' scammers, TA truckstop, Madison, GA Ohio license plate GTW 1060 2007 Blue Honda Odyssey

This is a group of '3 card monte' tossers working the parking lot of the Truckstops of America, at Madison, Georgia.
I've identified at least 5 members of this group, and it's possible a few more people in this video are also members.
Don't fall for this SCAM!
You're not going to win any money, and these criminals are also know to do strongarm or armed robberies of balky players, and onlookers.   You are outnumbered, and there are often other members of the gang nearby acting as lookouts.    I don't care how 'bad' you are, you probably can't take on 5-6 people, and some may be armed.

The 'other' truckers playing the game are members of this gang.   Nobody wins money.    You only lose.    Don't be stupid.

Pay attention,   these gangs usually work a region.   They may be in truck stops in one state one day, and across the state the next, or in the next state.

I can identify 5 men in the picture below as being part of the scam.

It's  probable two more men are also, making a total of 7 criminals waiting to scam you, or rob you.

Do not fall for this scam!

These gangs will also physically rob you if they can't cheat you out of your money.

If you think you have a chance to win, or escape unharmed, you are stupid.

Any person you see 'winning' in these games is a member of the gang, not a stray, lucky trucker!

They count on you being stupid.

'Home Theater' sales scam, Flying J Truck stop, Blacksburg, SC 'White Van Scam'

I knew this was a scam, but until yesterday, didn't realize this type of scam had an unofficial name, 'White Van Scam', due to many of these transactions being conducted from 'white vans'.

These scams are conducted by people who claim they have 'excess' electronic products they will sell you at a serious discount.    
In this video, this man claims he is an employee, making a delivery for his employer, and has excess, high end home theater systems  he can sell for a fraction of the retail price.   He showed me three boxed systems with no brand name that seemed familiar.      I really didn't intend to interact with him, but remembered my dash cams were running, so why not give this scumbag some exposure?

When I googled for possible info on this scam, I found this scam was very common in the Charlotte area.
The products are very cheaply made in China.   This man claims his system is made in Germany.
The electronic products they pitch may function somewhat for a short time, but do not have the specs they claim, and are of very inferior quality.   It's junk you could buy for 10% of the price they will eventually settle for, and not worth it at any price.   

Just remember, it's not really illegal to get some gullible person to pay too much for a piece of crap electronics.   It is illegal to misrepresent what you are selling, but generally hard to prove, or prosecute.   The police are generally not interested.   Like the scammer, they just assume you are stupid.

I've seen various electronic products sold this way in truck stop parking lots, as well as kitchen ware, jewelry, and there used to be large, travelling groups who sold knock off perfumes.

Never buy anything from  roaming vendors in truck stop parking lots!  

The salesman was in a dark blue/black Dodge Durango with NC tags.

Use your brain!   Would somebody working in a legit business sell you a 'high end' system at 10% of the retail price?

The story is BS, but people in that business would know the real value of the item, and have access to people who would be happy to get a deal.  They don't need to travel the roads to find a customer, unless they hope to find a very stupid one!
