I'd give anyone the benefit of the doubt if it's a couple of quid but in most cases they are just scammers.

Originally posted by SueEllen View PostI don't trust agents. Likewise I don't ask people at train stations who ask for money for a ticket as 99% of the time the conversation is like this:
Man at Euston: "I've been robbed of my wallet and need a ticket to Coulsdon. Can you help?"
Me loudly "Yeah. None of the trains here go there."
Man looks p*ssed off and scurries away.
me: it's 3 hours from my house
agent: it's only an hour and a half from Euston
me: Do you think I live there? The only people who live in euston station are tramps. It takes me 90 minutes to get there.

If the people carrier was truly full, there would have been enough of them to push it easily to the next garage

He declined.

Our minds are conditioned to react to different experiences. If we see a bunch of threatening looking youths walking in the other direction and a little old lady walking along at the other side of the road our brain will automatically tell us which is safer so we will more likely feel comfortable on the side of the road of the little old lady.
It is the way the human mind learns to avoid risk.

As already stated it would have been worth giving them £10 of fuel which should be enough to get them to a 24 hour manned garage.
BTW it could have been a test - did you check for any cameras?
