As I have commented before, once when I was going into a club there was a cute girl sitting in the parking lot near the entrance. She had some toiletries laying out in clear plastic travel bags and said she had just gotten off a bus and was waiting for her ride, but she wanted to exchange phone numbers so we could meet up later. About 30 seconds later a guy in a car pulled up and she got in and they left. An hour or so later, she started texting me, asking me to go to her place to meet up.
The most implausible thing about the scenario is that she was sitting in a strip club parking lot a few miles away from the bus station rather than inside the bus station where there is security. I texted her that I was going to sleep and wished her a good night. She texted back saying that the guy was her sister's boyfriend, and then how lame I was and that I should come over.
More recently, I was at a dive on a slow night, and a "couple" came in. The girl started touching me like a high-hustle stripper and told me that the guy was her friend and his girlfriend had cheated on him. I suggested that she pay attention to him if his girlfriend had just cheated on him, and she responded that he was OK with her talking to other guys. After I left the bar, she approached a different customer and looked to be running the same routine on him.
Has anyone taken the bait on this kind of thing? Any experiences to report?
Both struck me as robbery attempts, but I wasn't inclined to find out.


Forgot a detail, the girl out in front of the club asked for any help and I gave her $5. When I walked up, I had taken her for a cute stripper who was on her way into the club or prevented from working due to some club policy since she was sitting out there with toiletries.
Once she said she had just arrived in town on a bus, I figured it was for show to give the impression that she was traveling rather than staying at one of the cheap hotels down the road and looking for someone to rob to get a fix. The toiletries might have been as much for the door people to see, though, to give the impression that she was on her way in for work or to get ready for an audition, though.
