I have seen this scam (not all of them are a scam, but enough) used before. I have gotten to the point were I tell the 'I need gas' person that if he talks to the clerk, they can usually contact one of the nearby churches and someone will be out to help him.

I have seen this used with: I need oil, I need gas, I need formula for the baby, I need diapers, etc... There are churches and organizations around that will help.

I am glad to see that there are still a few trusting souls out there that want to help their fellow man.
