I was with my mother by Flatbush ave and H, she was dropping off a gown, I went across the street to get her, a few minutes later a guy comes over and tells us, he saw someone towing my car. The parking lot was full of stores, one of them is a 711, looked like a mall with open parking lot. The sign is in small print . The guy with the tow truck said the sign says once you leave parking lot you can get towed.
The police came and said he couldn't really do much as its not crime related. I had to pay 136 to get car back.
After i left he went and got another car, in 20 minutes 4 cars got towed, he does it around the clock . I was there watching and realized what the scheme was. A guy stands in parking lot and follows you when you leave, in the meantime calls tow truck and a few minutes later tells u do you have a toyota etc. (as if he's a bystander). And tow truck waits on side till u pay other wise claims he will take it to pound but he probably doesn't as he wants to release it asap so he can make his rounds.
I don't want other people to fall for this trap.
Paid with cc. Is there anything to do? I feel its really wrong.
