The "interesting" fraud I met

Two days ago, I walked on 34th street and 7th AVE.

Suddenly one guy bumped on me and his glasses was dropped on the ground.

Then he picked up his glasses and showed me that a slide of his glasses was cracked.

You know what happened then, he asked me to pay him some money.

I told him I'm very sorry but I'm also really a poor student, he said so is him.

Then, I also dropped my glasses on the ground and said,
"See, mine is fine. Maybe you stepped on that after we bumped together "

"But yours is made by plastic and mine is by glass, That's why mine is broken, and that is very expansive. ", he said.

"But I'm really poor.. I really don't have money.... so...... how about paying you a lunch for my sorry?", I said.

The guy seemed finding that it's not easy to let me take my money out.

So he gave up and gave me a hug and said, "That's OK, Thank you very much!", and left politely.

After that I told my classmate what happened, and my classmate said, "Don't you know him? He is very famous around here!"

That is, that guy is a professional fraud!


I think why he didn't insist on asking me give him money is that even though I knew he might deceive me, I still showed my sorry and sincerity to him instead of anger and discrimination.

It's an incident or a surprise? who knows?

But what I can sure is that it was really a very impressive experience for me!
