What would Jesus do?

A people carrier full of black people is a bit vague! Weere they old, young, middle aged> church goers, middle class, east londoners, welsh, nigerian?

Assuming they seemed like alright people I would have done it. I've generally found that scam artists don't take a people carrier full of people everywhere to help with their scams!

I'd say 30 something - I couldn't place the accent but it was not UK

unfortunately in this day and age you cannot trust anyone regardless of whether they look white and chavvy, black and professional or anywhere in between.

That's a very paranoid and sad way to view the world.

I'd have told him where there was a 24 hour petrol station

[DimPrawn]

I'd have sold him £20 of petrol for £30 cash.

Is £30 of fake reddies better than £20 of fake reddies?

I'd have probably done the same.

In France a few years back, I was in a hotel and could hear a man getting severely distressed about not being able to get a taxi. I wondered over to see if I could help, and he told me he was a pilot for Avianca, had rented a plane from Redhill, Surrey, and had flown over to Le Touquet for the weekend with his family, and that his daughter had an allergic reaction to some sea food they had eaten. She'd been taken to hospital and spent the night there, but he needed to pick her up (in Berck about 10 miles away) and get the plane back to the uk of suffer a bill for about £2k. I still don't know why, but I simply gave him the car keys and told him to hurry back.

Wife went a strange hue of red, but I think you get an immediate feel for who you can help, and who you can't.

He came back with a happy family, but more importantly, a lovely bottle of Borolo.

I'd agree with this. You can generally tell if someone's distressed.

I once used the fire extinguisher from my motor home to put out a Spanish families cooking stove fire caused when they had not made the seal between the propane cannister and burner!

They rewarded me with a cheap bottle of plonk & the extinguisher cost £25 to replace..there's a moral in there somewhere

Dunno, but I believe the master criminal behind all this funny money is well known.....
