YOU TELL ME....TRUTH? OR SCAM???

Ok....this is how it goes;

Three days ago I was out doing some shopping.  I see this dude I've seen a few time at My old job.  He speaks..and then asks if I want to do some "Security" work on the side. (He still thinks I work for My old Company.)

I say I'm interested....and he gives Me his number and tells Me to call him later and he'll fill Me in on the Details.

Soooo.....I'm thinking.  Call...or don't  Call.   Anygoat....I call.

And this..is what he tells Me;   The Job is at an "Upscale" Gentlemen's Club.(strip club). (Hmmm...Ok.  I can do that. hehe)  The Pay is really good and paid nightly and I work every night except Sundays.  And..its..."foot" friendly kinda work.  But....its "under the table" kinda pay which...concerns Me if this is a "legit" Security agency.

But..keep talkin...

He asks when I can start.  I say..."Friday".  He says he'll call Me back.  15mins later he calls back.  Everything is a go. I got the Job.

Then...he tells Me.....I have to give him $45 dolla for the Uniform.  Now.....check this out:  45 dolla gets Me...;  Shirt...Pant...Baton...mace...and...Boots.   Now....I know My personal gear...two shirts...are like...30 dolla.  So...all that for 45 dolla...is....cheap.  Now..either they have a good deal with a company...or the shit is...cheap.  

Sooo...Dude wants to meet and Me give him the money so he can go get the Uniform.  I'm like....

Don't I need to fill out an application?  He says I'll fill out a paper when I show up for Work.

hmmmm.   Then he says he'll go ahead and get the Uniform and I pay him Thursday(today).  He gets My measurements and then hangs up.  Calls back and says the order is in and everything is set.

I agree.  Then...he gets off the phone.

My brain is turning.  My Mind is calculating.  My lil voice....is whispering.

Today I text him in the morning and tell him I have some things I have to deal with and I'll call him at 6pm to set up a time to meet and get..and pay for the Uniform.  He texts  back saying not to let him down.  Ok...He "may" be...legit.

637p I call.  Everything is still a go.  He tells Me where he wants to Meet to get the Money.  A..."Walmart" parking lot.(wtf????)  I tell him to make sure he brings all he receipts for the uniform and boot purchase...and then....

Shit...gets...shitty smellin.

Since he didn't hear from Me today...he took everything back.  (hmmm. Ok.)

I then ask....exactly who am I working for...since he has failed to mention the Business name.

He tells Me. 

Then I tell him that I am not really...cool with meeting him and giving him MY money and I haven't even talked with the...Boss.  How the fuck do I know I really have the job?  Does He even know My name?  When I show up...who do I talk to and will they know I'm there to work?

He says I'll follow him to the job and he'll do the introductions.

(Naaaa....something ain't....cool bout all this)

I tell him I would feel better talking to the..."Man".  He says he's out of town but will be at the Club tomorrow night.

So....I tell ole boy;  "Talk to the Man tomorrow night and tell him I'm down for working for Him and I'd feel better if I talked with "HIM" and "HE" tells Me I have the job...and I will drive down...and put the 4..5 in HIS hands and "WE"(Boss and I) can work out when I start.

Dude...wasn't really feeling that option.

So....I tell him it goes down like That....or it don't go down cause....I want the Man I'm working for to tell Me...I have the Job...thus...creating an..."agreement"...a...."meeting of the Minds"....a...Contract.

For all I know...I can give dude My money and never see or hear from him again...or better yet...

put on that cheap ass uniform and go up there and the Boss say he don't need anyone...and I'm out of 45 dolla and I now have a cheap ass uniform.

So.....

You tell Me.....

Truth?

or

Scam????


I say.....Scam.   I don't expect to hear from anyone come tomorrow night.

Crazy ass World out there.
