Armani Giuseppe Scam Novato California

I was putting gas in my car at the shell gas station in the corner of Rolwand Blvd and S. Novato Blvd about to leave when a guy pulls up in a Mercedes SUV. He first asked if i spoke Italian, i only spoke a little due to the act that I took an Italian class in college. He spoke english pretty well and a few words in Italian with a perfect accent which convinced me that he was indeed italian. He introduced himself as Giuseppe, a designer for Giorgio Arman,i and gave me his bussiness card. He told me that he was in California for a week because there was an expo in San Francisco for the new 2014 clothing line in the Moscone center. He asked for directions to the airport because he had a flight at 7pm (this was at 3:30pm) back to Milan and I gave them to him. As soon as i gave him directions, he was very greatful and we ended up talking for a bit and because he had time to kill he wanted to give me something for helping him. He first said if i ever happen to go to Milan that I should contact him so he can help me out.

He asks if he can show me something real quick and I follow him as he parked his car. He then goes to tell me that his company gave him a lot of extra merchandise and he has no need for them because they aren't his size. He had small and medium leather jackets, 8 of them. He grabs a lighter and places it to the the jacket to show me that it was good material. I know nothing about leather so I was wowed that nothing happened to the jacket. He tells me that today was my lucky and begins to tell me the price on each jacket and says that he will give me the $15,000 worth of merchandise for the price of one jacket $1,200. He told me that money wasn't an issue because he was working for such a big designer brand and he pulled out a wad of money to prove it. He just did not want to pay the tax to take it back to Milan. I told him I did not have any money. He then kept insisting that this opportunity does not come along often and he wanted to "give" me something for helping him out. He then asked if i had any cash, any money in the bank and even a credit card. I said no to all, but I did want the Jackets because the holidays are just around the corner and I would just cross some off the list so i told him I had some money and we went to an atm. He asked with hom do I bank and pulled out his Louis Vuiton wallet, he had a ton of credit cards, and I said I banked with wells fargo. I said I had $200 dollars in the bank but the atm at the gas station only let me take out $140. He said not to worry and was telling me that back in Milan they did not have atm's. He said he would give me the medium sized jackets for the $140 , 4 total. I gave him the money and I didn't care much because it was just $140. He then asked if I would buy an IPad for his daughter but I told him I couldn't because I did't have any money. He said ok, and we made the deal and I went to his car to get the jackets. As i got to my car i got a little skeptical of the whole situation and I began to think this is too good to be true. I decided to do some research on him and didn't find anything on the name. Not so much later I stumbled on this website and found out it was a scam. I felt pretty stupid to fall for his scam but he played it off so well and although these people have to be stopped before more people get scammed, I have to give him props for creating such a believable persona.
