Today, I witnessed an elderly lady getting mugged. I ran over to the guy mugging her and offered him the money in my wallet in return for him leaving her alone. The old lady snatched my money and ran away with the mugger. What the hell just happened? FML

Sounds like you've been scammed.

Have you not learnt by reading FML the elderly are not to be trusted. :$

Go watch the movie The Sting, it'll explain everything. Sucks that you got taken advantage of when you were just trying to do good.

I don't understand how this was a setup because they didn't know OP would offer money.

i imagine ifbop tried to fight thr mugger they would have mugged him anyway. getting thr money handed to them must have seemed like a dream come true.

It's situations like the OP's that make me worry about doing anything that requires helping another human being.

why would you have offered him money instead of just calling the police? or even if you wanted to get involved, why not confront the.mugger?

It was all stood up...Scammers do that...and you fell for it unfortunately...

you done got got

Hopefully you remember what at least one of them looks like so you can tell the police

You got punked!

At least they didn't stab you. Keep doing good.

U got scammed buddy
