She And Her Husband Recently Had One Of Their Evening Walks Spoiled After A Couple Tried To Scam Them
Is anyone else a fan of a nice evening walk?
One woman and her husband recently had one of their evening walks spoiled after a couple potentially tried to scam them.
She and her husband love to take an evening walk together after dinner. She described their neighborhood as ‘fairly safe,’ so they’ve always felt comfortable walking around it after dark.
That is, until one night when they encountered a strange couple.
They were on their walk, and around 8:30 pm, they heard a couple arguing in the distance. As they looked up the road, they noticed they were walking towards them. Things sounded pretty heated, and they were being obnoxiously loud. She had a feeling that something was off about them pretty quickly.
“As soon as they reached us, they went from completely quiet to screaming at each other. It was like they hit their marks on the stage, and someone yelled ‘Action!’ and they began their rehearsed fight,” she remembered.
Once the arguing couple reached her and her husband on the street, they switched the direction they were walking in and began walking right alongside them while they argued. They boxed her and her husband in while screaming at each other.
Her husband tightened his grip around her hand as the couple moved at the same pace.
She noticed more odd things about the yelling couple, like the man’s wardrobe. He was wearing all dark colors like black and navy blue. He had his hood covering his face as much as possible and wore a mask covering his neck and face.

“He was basically dressed like a ninja in 60-degree Fahrenheit weather,” she explained.
“I know we’re in Covid times, but that outfit was overkill. He definitely looked like he was trying to hide his face.”
Although this couple freaked them out, they genuinely felt bad for the woman, as she seemed to want to get away from the man.
They tried interrupting the fight multiple times to offer to walk the woman to a safe place, but they wouldn’t stop.
Finally, her husband began telling the man to leave her alone, and he eventually did. Then, he ran up the street, and they never saw him again.
He didn’t make a fuss, and they found it strange how he gave up so easily.
When they were left alone with the woman, they still wanted to be safe around her, so they figured the most they could offer was to walk her to a busier part of town and drop her off at an open store or restaurant.
However, the woman kept pleading that they walk her to her home on an avenue that was not in the best area. They had to tell her no.
“Basically, if we walked her ‘home,’ we’d be passing by a lot of dark, unpopulated places where we could get jumped by ninja guy and his friends, and no one would be around to hear us scream,” she explained.
Every time they suggested taking her somewhere else, she would get frustrated and flustered, as if their offering to help was inconvenient since they wouldn’t take her where she wanted them to go.
It felt like she was intentionally trying to lead them to a place where they could get hurt.
Finally, when the woman realized they wouldn’t budge, she abruptly said she’d call her mom to pick her up. She pulled out a phone and began running away. They called after her, but she kept running.
“For a few days afterward, my husband and I really struggled with whether we had just left a poor woman alone to contend with an abusive, stalker boyfriend,” she said.
“But the way she and the man she was arguing with acted suggested a scam more than someone trying to get away from an abusive partner.”
Once they told the story to multiple friends, everyone else also started believing it was a scam. She warned her neighbors to be on the lookout for the couple but, thankfully, hasn’t seen them since.
Do you think she and her husband did the right thing by not taking the woman home?
