That's brtual. Some people just make me sick.

That is some grade A thievery right there.

You should have told her no

This is a scam that was very common during Vietnam, and has been recycled recently. Another twist is, after she hugs her "son's" doppelganger, she'll ask if he'll indulge her and call her mom. If he will, she sticks close while shopping and then at the checkout she asks if she can go first, usually "so I don't have to watch my son walk away again." She'll find a way to distract him, ("Did you drop that?") and then tell the cashier he's her son and will pay for her groceries with his. Then, she waves and says, "Bye son!" Often, the victims reply, "Bye mom!" And voila, he ends up paying for the schemer's groceries.

This is why I keep my money and phone in my bra. Lol. I'll notice if someone is trying to pickpocket me.

Great name, bad luck. Supermarkets usually have cameras though so I bet something could be solved. Sorry about the wallet OP.

I saw that coming. Heard many a story just like this.

I watched a video in Spanish class where a woman did something just like this except she had the cashier convinced that the man was her son so that he would pay for him. Something like that.

Now she knows where you live at.

it's a pretty old trick though an old women's tears can still be convincing and pathetic !!
