If you have to meet a Sears employee in the parking lot for a great deal on a TV, you're about to get scammed

ScammerNatick Police report this guy did his part to prove P.T. Barnum correct, in an incident on Sunday outside the Sears at the Natick Mall:

Suspect posed as store employee and met 'victim' at store parking lot per prior verbal agreement. Suspect was then given $1300 cash in exchange for store merchandise pick-up receipt to go in and pick up promised 'discounted televisions.' Receipt was fake and 'victim' was turned away with no television.

Picture IS fuzzy, but could that be someone who needed to raise money for the final push against Barney Frank?

this scam has been happening at the South Shore Plaza every few months, for years. When will people wise up?
Oh and if you're elderly and you get a call from a grandchild asking you to wire money for their bail, it is not your grandchild; rather it is another persistent scam

Is he affiliated with the Quincy TV scammers?

Or was he inspired by them?
