Just heard of another scam last night. 2 of my friends have nearly got caught on this one. It has now been posted on our local Police website, and they say they've had 10 cases reported so far.

On a quiet road, a man steps out in front of you to make you stop. One friend was asked for money, and another was told he wanted jump leads.
Luckily both friends drove off quickly. (The second friend is married to a plain clothes detective, so the bloke might have regretted messing with her)!

I suppose they must be stopping people (especially women), on the quiet back roads as people aren't so able to stop quickly on fast roads. I hope no one is daft enough to let them in the car.
