Weird I was just thinking about a similar scam that happened to me about 7 years ago.... sometimes I get these psychic thingies. Anyway in Vegas a young Hispanic guy approached me in the Walgreen's parking lot and asked if he could give my car hood a sample wax job. I said sure as it was looking dull and so he started. Then a couple of his cohorts came over and one asked if he could get my small dent out. I said okay you can try and he started tapping on it with the soft part of his fist. The wax job was ehh.. not so good, kinda greasy looking but the dent area looked better and less noticeable. Then they asked for payment of $40 so I hesitantly gave it to them.

Do not fall for this type of on the street scam, if anyone like these people comes up to you tell them no thanks you have a so-and-so fixit person. While they did sorta fix the dent at perhaps cheaper than a shop I felt pressured and scammed to pay. Odd situation because I'm always the no thank you guy whether it be at my door or on the street. Caught me off guard then but never again. So there's my dumb@&$ moment.
