After Hurricane Katrina, BR was inundated with displaced folks, as we all remember. Maybe three days after the storm, I stopped to get gas at the station in front of Home Depot on Coursey. A fella that looked exactly like this guy came up, said he lost his home in the storm, and needed gas money to get to College Drive to meet up with his daughter. I didn't have cash but offered to give him a ride. Don't pick up strangers, I was young and stupid.
We were on I-12 heading West into the split when he asked if I could stop at an ATM. I pulled over and made him get out. Left him there standing on the shoulder of the interstate. If it was this guy he's been at it for alot longer than 10 years.

The worst post-Katrina scam was this: people would 'sell their car' on the cheap and say, "I don't have the title because of the storm."
Some got thousands of dollars.
They'd then demand the car back later - even having the police help them, "If the car is titled in his name, give it back to him."
The local police also used to not give a flip about contractor fraud. A guy in a worktruck witha longstanding B.R. business stole $800 from me.
I'm in B.R. City Court trying to get it back and another guy approaches me saying he couldn't find the scammer to serve him. I gave him the address I had.
"How much did he scam your guy out of?"
"$8,000."
