WTF Scammer in the mall?
 
So I was in Marina Mall (Abu Dhabi) in Carrefour buying groceries. Rarely shop there. Anyway some dodgy young Nigerian-scam-looking type guy stopped me, inside carrefour, shook my hand, and offered to sell me "my fortune" for 100 dirhams.... I stopped for a moment trying to work out if he was serious then just walked off. He pulled some weird blue semi shiny piece of paper out of an old envelope he was holding which was the "Fortune".

Anyone have any idea what this guy was on about?

Next time report him to security and he will be arrested for practicing witchcraft.

I've read about that, not good news, I would be careful if I were you sounds like he was cursing you. There is voodoo in the air.

Is that a joke or are you semi serious?

Next time i see him I will watch him to see his behaviour. He was just standing there with another nigerian looking guy. Both fairly young. After I left they just continued to wait... for what I dont know.
