The lady had her scheme all figured out. She acquired the cheap tires for merely eighty dollars. It was shoddy and wouldn’t last. She and her son roamed from place to place, avoiding any complains once the tire wore out.
Persisting, the lady said, “Come on, be sensible. The job’s done.
Even if the police get involved, you’ll end up paying. Why add to the hassle? Look at my son! He did all this work for you.”
While talking, the lady nudged her son closer to Raegan. Her son, tall and muscular, stood over Raegan like a tower.
The lady subtly showed a QR code, whispering, “My son’s a simple fellow. Please don’t upset him. You seem a busy person. Just pay and move on.”
It seemed like helpful words, but it was all about threats and intimidation.
Raegan asked coolly, “What if I choose not to pay?”
“Not to pay?” The lady’s friendly facade disappeared, her voice becoming stern, “Well, if you don’t pay, I can’t be responsible for what my simple son might do…”
The tall man moved closer as instructed, his presence overwhelmingly clear. Saliva escaping his mouth, he muttered, “Pretty woman…” He extended his hand, trying to grope Raegan.
Raegan quickly dodged, evading his reach. In the commotion, her phone fell and the man picked it up immediately.
The lady acted swiftly, jumping into Raegan’s car and grabbing the keys. She said boldly, “If you don’t pay, you’re not going anywhere today.”
The man repeated his mumbling, “Pretty woman…”
Raegan approached the lady, attempting to get her car keys back.

But the lady reacted instantly, positioning herself in front of Raegan’s vehicle, crying out and rolling on the ground. “She’s hitting me! She’s hitting me! She’s going to kill me…”
Raegan was dumbfounded. Their performance was flawless, executed with ease. It dawned on Raegan that these two were professional scammers.
The surroundings were remote, without any shops or houses around, let alone security cameras. It made sense why they chose this location.
Raegan calmly suggested, “I don’t have cash with me, and my card isn’t working. Could I call someone to bring the money over to you?”

The lady looked doubtful. “You’re not playing a trick on me, right?”
“No, of course not. I don’t own this fancy car. It was rented. I like to seem richer than I am, and I wouldn’t want anyone to find out I burst its tire. You arrived just in time,” Raegan assured the lady, with a show of earnestness.
The lady then said, “Ah, my leg is injured from that fall. Merely paying for the tire isn’t enough!”
“How much are you asking for?” Raegan asked.
The lady’s expression changed slightly. “I’d need something Like twenty to thirty thousand for my recovery!”
And that was on top of the eight thousand eight hundred for that cheap tire. What a bold request!
Raegan’s mind racked, knowing scammers were naturally distrustful.
