>>1101065the best scam story i heard was when two older people came up to me one had an arm in a cast. I was outside the orange line station waiting for a bus.
they came up to me and said they came from UIC med center and got off at the wrong stop and needed fare to get back on the go to the right place.
heres the background: UIC med center is off the pink line (polk). for them to go to where I was, they wouldve have to taken the wrong train SIX stops to the loop (clark lake) and THEN gotten on the wrong train AGAIN to get on the orange line (halsted). and then they wouldve had to EXIT the station (the orange line has unidirectional stations, aka island platforms, so you can hop off one direction and get on the other direction free) just to find me and ask for fare money.
this may not make sense to people not in chicago but for those who are, its an awful scam story lol
