I guess you old timers will already be aware of this scam from a few years ago: http://dubai-jazz.blogspot.co.uk/200...this-scam.html

Well I wasn't, so guess who bought an 'Armani' suit for 500 Dhm today?

older than Dubai itself, was he on the way to the airport and needing to get rid quickly ?

fair play to the lad, he must have sold 100's down the years

Re: Armani Suit Scam
 

He tried it on with my boss once.:rofl:

Re: Armani Suit Scam
 

He once got me. I wasn't going to buy it so he said OK you can have it for free - expecting some guilt on my part. Unfortunately for him no such thing from me, I took the parcel and he drove after me pleading for any form of payment that I was willing to offer.

Can't beat a free suit. No good though......

Re: Armani Suit Scam
 

Might not have been Armani but you can't get robbed for 500Dhs anyway unless it was full of holes

Re: Armani Suit Scam
 

No it's a good fit and the material actually seems OK. Pretty much what I'd pay for an everyday work suit anyway in UK. Just an ongoing scam though.

Just a bit wiser then, no harm done

Re: Armani Suit Scam
 

OK OK........ it's a slow day (no booze) so I'm not quite up to speed but..........

HOW is this a scam??? :o:confused:

Re: Armani Suit Scam
 

Because they're not Armani salesmen and they're not Armani suits. Its a scam that relies on the gullibility and greed of people like me who think they're getting an $1800 suit for 500 dits because the 'salesman' is very very believable.

Re: Armani Suit Scam
 

So - realistically - what might be the right price for the suits in this scam?

Re: Armani Suit Scam
 

I guess whatever Karama shops knock them out for, I dunno.

Re: Armani Suit Scam
 

A suit, of whatever quality, for 90 quid seems OK to me....... I wish I could get scammed that badly..........

Re: Armani Suit Scam
 

This happened to me in Tecom a few months ago, exact same thing. Luckily I politely told hm to sling his hook.

Re: Armani Suit Scam
 

he even said to me 'ah your name is David, that's my sons name' etc etc
