You decided it was a scam because (two of your reasons) they wouldn't ask a friend to do a 130 mile round trip to drop off money, or the middle class couple wouldn't hitch 130 miles one way to get some cash before (presumably) hitching 130 miles back the other way since they don't have a car at 10pm at night? I mean, why waste 30 minutes asking strangers to be kind when you could waste 4-5 hours sitting in a car with someone you don't know until 3am, lol.
I wasn't there, so it's impossible to tell, but if it had bells on I'd have just said 'no, sorry, bye' but if I bought it I'd have asked them to take the car round and I'd have brimmed it for them and exchanged details.
It's a lot of effort for someone to go through to get a fiver from some tight b*stard, so even if it was a scam then I would have thought 'fair ****s to them, standing at 10pm, in January, in the middle of nowhere begging strangers with a decent story. At least they're not robbing houses'.Comment

Oh come on Sidrick, this is a con ha ha. If they already raised 15quid, they can get 3 gallons in their car and it is not going to be totally empty. Steady driving is going to get them most of the way or at least within "raise help from friends" distance.
Also, why has she not got any money? A straight up honest person would definitely take details to offer to return the cash that was lent. Also, if I was in that position, I would deffo go the petrol station, bang in some fuel and then go up to the counter and tell them I had lost my wallet somehow, give them my reg etc and settle up when I returned home.
The woman is on the scrounge big time. She could at least have got her norks out.Comment

Whatever the case here folks sadly there will be much more of it to come with Britain on it's knees and far too many people going to food banks because they cannot afford to live.Everyone thinks London is stinking rich
Yeah there's loads of rich oligarchs in central London Yet 7 out the 10 hardest up councils/boroughs in the whole of UK are in London.
Don't argue folks, just because you don't agree with me .....this was reported on Panorama last night! Many children going to school in the capital without food in their stomachs so they cannot concentrate and there have even been reports of children passing out in class with Malnutrition. Some people on this forum should be thankful that their only problem is what turbo to get when they might spare a thought for people less well of than they are.

How many people in proper poverty drive a 2.4 litre non diesel car?
I agree with what you are saying though. Far too many people in this country getting a rough ride when a minority swim in the own money without paying proper dues. The place is screwed up. Nobody could argue with that.Comment
