Story 1:
A week ago, a frantic woman hopped into my taxi. She was crying and shouted, “Get me home quickly, my husband is che:a:ting!” When we got there, she was shaking and kept asking me to come inside for help. I hesitated but finally said yes. Once we entered her place, her expression changed — she turned to me and started laughing even though just moments before she had tears on her face.
Then, out of nowhere, she disappeared. I was shocked to see three big guys with scary looks standing in front of me. One guy demanded my wallet while another grabbed my car keys. Scared and knowing I couldn’t fight them off alone, I stayed quiet and did what they wanted. They took off with my car and cash.
Later on, I went to the police for help. They checked the address only to find out it was an Airbnb booked under fake names which made it impossible to track them down! That day taught me a valuable lesson: never trust anyone completely—even if they seem like a helpless woman crying.
Story 2:
My mom told me that I needed to pay $75 each month for my phone since it wasn’t fully paid yet. A year later, I found out it was actually paid off! When I told her this news she replied with “Oh no you’re paying for your service!” Seems reasonable enough.
Two months after that discovery, turns out we were on a family plan & she’s just pocketing the money.

Story 4:
In Rome one time a man selling flowers approached me & my friends offering us some free roses because he said we were pretty! We took them happily & he offered to snap our picture too! He grabbed one of our phones snapped a photo then as we tried leaving he started saying how this is his job & that he’s losing money so we should give him something for the flowers.
Feeling guilty about it all we gave him some cash but right after that some guy came over yelling at him because he gave his wife a flower then shoved it back at him!
Story 5:
I was playing hide-and-seek at my best friend’s house when i found an amazing hiding spot under his parents’ bed! But when i looked over i saw what looked like a human foot attached with a calf wearing shoes!! It freaked me out so much that i made up an excuse & ran home fast!
Later on i learned his mom wore prosthetic legs—i didn’t know until much later when my parents mentioned it!

Story 7:
After work one day,my boyfriend was heading home during heavy rain when someone stopped him showing him a picture of man saying this guy had recently died & they were collecting donations for his funeral.
My boyfriend felt sorry so he handed over about $20 bucks without thinking twice about it . Five years later while hanging out together another guy stopped him again (he wasn’t sure if its same person since he’d forgotten how he looked) showed the same photo of “de:a:d” man telling exactly same story again.My boyfriend’s face showed betrayal.
