40 Scams People Over 40 Should Stop Falling For

20. The Broken Bottle Scam

This is one you’re more likely to encounter in a big city where pedestrians jockey for space on the sidewalk. You bump into someone who drops their bag, breaking the bottle of fine whisky or other valuable liquor (or perhaps a fine vase or other breakable item). They furiously blame you and demand you cover the $80 or so that it cost. You might get them down to $20 and give them the bill just to keep them from causing a scene before you both go on your way—and the guy you bumped into quickly bumps into someone else and goes through the routine all over again.
