I observed this one while tranleivg in Chicago:While standing at a street corner, waiting to cross, a man came up to a fairly well dressed couple, told them that he had been admiring the man's shoes as he was a shoe expert. IN fact, he told them, he could tell the guy where he got the shoes, and if he was right he wanted $5.I don't know whether the couple was gullible, or just wanted to get rid of the guy, so they said sure. The guy started cackling and said, You got them on your feet, now give me my $5. I'm not sure if it was embarrassment or what, but they did and then the guy went on to find his next mark.
