According to KOMO News, there's a new way for you to get screwed by scammers--the pretendant. The Seattle Police have come up with this clever name to describe people who poach parking lots, claiming parkers need to pay them and not the pay box for a variety of reasons. A couple weekends ago we went to a concert at Showbox SODO (Ray Davies--phenomenal) and we paid a somewhat shady dude rather than the pay box. Though we didn't get ticketed by the actual lot owners, we wondered then and definitely now if we were duped. Have any of you fine readers been scammed by pretendants?
