[QUOTE="donna723, post: 19294, member: 1883"] Sorry, but I wouldn't believe the "robbed at gunpoint" story either and I would be extremely suspicious of the "car insurance" part too. I know this isn't what you want to hear, but it sounds like a drug deal to me too. He owes someone money for ... something. And as the day went on and he got into more of a jam, more of the truth came out. People who are in this kind of a predicament usually aren't too worried about their car insurance or their bank account being overdrawn. Or repaying their parents money they have "borrowed". What it sounds like to me ... his "boy" that he needs to pay off is a drug dealer. I work in a prison and I've heard these terms lots of times before. His "second job" is probably selling drugs himself. He may have received drugs from the dealer to sell, sort of on "speculation", then was supposed to repay the dealer from the money he made selling the drugs. Or the dealer may have advanced him the drugs for his own use. And for whatever reason, he doesn't have the money to pay the dealer now. The police "flagging" him means that they have seen him and added him to their list of people that they watch - they suspect him, now they just have to catch him at it, so they're watching him. I know this isn't what you want it to be, but that's more than likely what it is. You could check with the police department to see if a report was filed on the "robbed at gunpoint" incident. Or you could offer to pay the car insurance directly to the company instead of giving him the cash, just to see what he'd say. [/QUOTE]
