    I was approached in Morrisons car park the other day with an absolute classic.

    Bloke claims to be a salesman and has accidentally been given surplus stock.

    It's usually watches, but could work with anything I guess. Bloke shows you an advert in a respectable magazine saying said watches retail for £200, but he, "...can let you have one for £50".

    So how are they scamming you?

    They took out the advert in the magazine and they bought a ton of these watches for about a tenner each. This is the only way they sell them. By running this scam.

    I walked away as soon as he got to, "... I have some surplus stock", after he had previously claimed to have stopped me to ask for directions.

    The previous time this was tried on me, I asked for them to accompany me to a jewellers to get the watch valued and they suddenly decided they didn't have the time to deal with me.

    I first learnt about this from That's Life, so that's at least how old this scam is.

    R55 DRE was the number plate. Black. BMW I think (it's nearly always a BMW).
