You’ll get approached by someone in the street trying to sell you an item, usually a brand new, working smartphone, at a very good price.
If this isn’t alarming you enough, know that if you do buy something from the person, they’ll manage to make a last-second swap of the bag/box they’re giving you (by attracting your attention on something else), and you won’t find anything valuable in there.
