Callezoni (sp?) instead. i must say the guy was the smoothest hustler i have ever seen and he had a superb presentation, but it was all too perfect. if its too good, it probably is. he was about 5'8", slim build dressed well with heavy accent and acted extremely nice. i threw out the business card but his name was luca d something and he was driving a rented jeep with florida plates. thanks everyone who posted their stories on this site. scam avoided. i was on 29th and madison and this smooth italian guy pulled up in a rented jeep with florida plates. asked for directions for the lincoln tunnel (from madison ave???) and proceeded to small talk and went into how he was at a show at the javits center for a convention working with armani and had a lot of extra jackets for sale. he said i had to get into the car to see them so i did, it was rush hour on madison and he gave me his car keys, then whipped out 2 leathers and a suede, saying give me half for one and get 2 for free. he had a plane ticket, italian license, pictures of his kids and a business card. he said he couldnt bring the jackets back to italy because each collection would be taxed %20. i declined and he asked me what i could do so i tell him 120, he said he would give me 2 leathers for that. as a way out i said i would go to atm at the deli, luckily i have internet on my phone so i went online and found this exact site explaining everything. he then came inside and i said no, he tried to get me to do it but finally he left. the suede jacket felt terrible and the leathers did feel good, but were probably vinyl. none of the jackets said armani but A.

I was talking a walk during my lunch break from the Shaw building on barlow when a guy in a rental car pulled up and asked where the airport was. So I gave him directions and was about to leave when he jumped up and asked if I would take some coats off of him. I had a lot of trouble understanding his italian accent and said whatever and next thing i knew he was trying to sell me 5 coats for $1000. He said that he recieved these from his company and didn't want to pay taxes. He also said that they were worth $1000 each, and claimed he was rich so he didn't need them. I immediatly thought of it as a huge scam, but figured they were probably some cheap leather or immitation leather coats. They looked quite nice though, but I told him I didn't need them. He then told me to give him an offer so I told him $250 for all 5. We ended up settling on $300 for all 5, and I went to the bank to get him the money. While there he drove under some security cameras (on purpose), but he was in a rental (at least it had rental plates, no rental company sticker I could see, and the plate may have been a fake from the quick glance I took to make sure the car wasn't a regular vehicle). At the bank he suddenly asked for more and I started to walk away, but then decided to go for it anyhow, and gave him $ 380 for 5 coats. Thing was he tried to give me only 4 (didn't realize this until I got them in my car and he was several block away already). Either way they look nice, and i've been trying to regain as much money as possible by selling them honesty as immitation leather coats (Vynyl with a fabric backing to make it rough behind like real leather is (this is what fooled me)) for what I paid for them.

He had purchased it from a guy he met and helped out. It sounds similar to many of the other stories here. My friend travels a lot so I'm not sure where he purchased the jackets. My nice A Collezioni jacket is beginning to fall apart, and it is very obvious that it is not even real leather, just some sort of vinyl. The real value of the jacket is probably less than $20. Oh well, I enjoyed wearing it for the last 6 months, now I'll probably just throw it away. Last fall a friend gave me a nice “leather” jacket. He had purchased it from a guy he met and helped out.

He said the jackets were worth $700 each, and gave me a great deal for $150 a jacket, so I bought it. This happend in Toronto, Ontario at Spadina and Bloor. He too was with another younger fellow (whome was quiet through the whole incident). After reading all the posts, it seems like this man is travelling the globe conducting this scam. "Button Felloff" or anyone else with his photo; I would love to see the picture, to confirm if its the same fellow. Thanks Hi,this guy scammed me too!

He called me in a car and told me that he had trouble speaking chinese to anything at that area. It seem he had driving around that area for a while. And that place is around 15 mins driving from an international airport in Kaohsiung as well. I was told that i am the only guy who can speak english at that time for that afternoon.. He showed me his passport,flight ticket, etc and about 5 jackts . and saying he is leaving to his home country and want to sell these jackets cheap to avoid paying the tax.. In the end, i bought one jacket for around 90USD( 2700 NT dollars).. I am wondering if that is the same guy doing this con thing. He must be travlling around the world for this.. If anyone has the photo of him.. i wish to have a look if that is the same guy.... my email is joneslin29@gmail.com please put the email title as A.Collezioni guy photo so i wont miss the email ... thank you so much hmm….. same thing happened to me in taiwan kaohsiung (might be in 2005 Oct or something)..

I stopped to buy food at the supermarket and this Italian guy approached me. I was sure these were a whatever brand, but it's true he was convincing and the quality looked good. I really was unable to help him for the sake of it, so I bargained for one jacket for $100. I ended up with 3 for $200. I hope that they are leather, if they are it's not a bad deal.

I was outside of Home Depot today and was approached by the Italian Actor!! The same thing about a fashion show, LAX, and not wanting to incur any taxes for taking them with him on his flight back to Italy. I ended up buying 6 leather and suede jackets for $300. He wanted $400 but I only had $300. I was torn with my decision but he was such a nice guy and I wanted to help him out. I was excited yet still felt strange about my purchase. I went back to work and had someone check it out online. That's when I found out that this was all a scam. Oh well.

I said no thanks, but he kept going down on the price. He then asked me what I would give him, and I said 200.00. He ended up getting 300.00 from me. They are nice jackets.

I tell him that I won't pay that much for a coat. But it's Armani and he's in a rush to get to Newark Airport for his flight back he says while showing me his plane ticket and passport. I ended up buying 3 coats for $200. I'm looking at them now and honestly, I don't think they look that bad. For about $66 each, I don't feel like I was taken to the cleaners since that's about as much as I'd pay for a regular coat. I can’t believe I’m reading this. I just got screwed by the same guy.

I got 5 jackets for $500. The Italian I met, It says VincenzoA on the card, was driving a Pacifica from Enterprise. He had a buddy calling him and saying he had to hurry to the airport to catch the Alitalia flight to Milano. His friend was asking for his passport number. He gave him some numbers I understand that much Italian. All of course was fake. The issue I have is that the jackets were marked as XL and XXL when they infact were L. I will have to give mine away to charity, maybe to Goodwill, and get a tax deduction next year. I would like to see thee photo as well. Life is a trial and error experience.

He needs to get to the airport and sells me 3 A.Collezioni leather jackets, 2 black, 1 brown..

My brother purchased the jackets through the same scenario - three jackets, $200 or something like that. He gave one to me for watching his dog over a weekend. If it is fake leather, it is nice fake leather. If it is not fake leather, I doubt you could purchase a similiar jacket for $66 (the approximate cost). I wear mine regularly and only receive compliments - and my buddys are pricks. Plainly, they seem to be nice jackets. Those that paid up to $500-$700 for a set of jackets only have their own greed to blame. I am confused as to what everyone is complaining about.

Apparently Mr. Johnson-Laird was lucky--he got a free bolt of cloth for his directions. I encountered this Italian guy in the East 40s in Manhattan back in February (which aligns with some of the earlier sightings posted here). He offered me three leather Armani jackets in exchange for directions to the airport. Said they were samples he couldn't carry back to Milan with him. When he found out I was a writer, he asked me if he could hire me to edit his catalog in English and even gave me his business card. He was ready to hand over the three jackets for "free" when he suddenly asked for money (I think it was $200 or so) to pay for the car rental and petrol. When I refused, he swiped the business card back, threw the coats back in the SUV, and drove off. I'm sorry I didn't take his plate--it all happened so fast.

A short italian guy in a rental car approached him in front of a grocery store. Said he was coming back from an "exhibition" or show from Vegas and had to get rid of these jackets and suit. He showed his passport and plane ticket and didn't want to deal with customs. At first he offered them at $1200. My husband even brought this guy to my mom's house. There he paid this guy $600 for 7 leather jackets and a suit. The suede is faux. I just hope that the other jackets really are leather. I still think we got an awesome deal. We knew they weren't real Armani's that was obvious. My question is who is this guy and where is he getting these jackets from? He said his name was Francesco.

ALL THE CLOTHING SAYS: A COLLEZIONI AND SAYS MADE IN ITALY IN THE LINING, BUT IT DOESNT HAVE ANY TAGS INSIDE THE JACKETS OR THE SUIT. HE WAS RIDING ON A RENTAL CAR ALSO AND SAID SOMETHING ABOUT NEEDING TO PAY THIS RENTAL CAR.

HI, IM WRITTING FROM TIJUANA, AS YOU KNOW, TIJUANA IS IN MEXICO, IS THE BORDER NEAR SAN DIEGO, WELL, IM SURE THIS ITALIAN GUY BAILED OUT VERY QICK CAUSE TODAY THIS ITALIAN GUY SCAMMED MY HUSBAND, HE FELL FOR A $600 DLLS DEAL ON 5 JACKETS AND A SUIT, THIS HAPPENED AT NOON TODAY, MI HUSBAND WAS OUTSIDE OF HIS OFFICE WHEN THIS SHORT ITALIAN APROACH HIM, AS YOU ALL SAY, IS THE SAME STORY, CUSTOMS, AIRPORT, MILANO ITALY, FASHION SHOW, RENTAL CAR, HE ALSO GAVE HIM HIS BLACK BUSSINESS CARD,ETC, ETC., HIS NAME IS ANDREA VIANELLI (IT MUST BE FAKE ALSO) I JUST WANT YOU TO KNOW THAT HE ALREADY CROSS THE BORDER TO MEXICO AND NOW HES DOING HIS FRAUD IN MEXICO. ALL THE CLOTHING SAYS: A COLLEZIONI AND SAYS MADE IN ITALY IN THE LINING, BUT IT DOESNT HAVE ANY TAGS INSIDE THE JACKETS OR THE SUIT. HE WAS RIDING ON A RENTAL CAR ALSO AND SAID SOMETHING ABOUT NEEDING TO PAY THIS RENTAL CAR. IM VERY SAD CAUSE MY HUSBAND WAS VERY HAPPY WHEN HE CAME HOME, HE THOUGHT HE WAS GETTING A VERY GOOD DEAL THAT HE LET GO THE $600.00 SO EASILY, WHEN WE ARE NEDDING THIS MONEY FOR OUR NEW BORN. I FEEL VERY VERY SAD. THE JACKETS LOOKED NICE, THE LEATHER LOOKS OF GOOD QUALITY AND ALL THE STICHINGS ARE FINE MADE. DO SOMEONE KNOWS WHAT A REALLY WORTH??? I THINK THAT HE STOLE THIS GOOD MERCHANDISE FROM SOMEWHERE IN ITALY AND DEALING WITH IT HERE.

Seems as if he may be apprehended: <blockquote> Same thing happened to me at Lowes in North Bergen, NJ. I was approached by an Italian man who supposedly had authentic Armani Jackets. He said he was a buyer for Georgio Armani and had just left Jacob Javits. He was on his way to the airport to catch a flight to Italy but was worried that the jackets wouldn't go through customs. He showed me his passport and plane ticket. He also showed me his license and gave me his phone number. I fell for the scam and gave him $700 for two leather jackets and a suit. I wanted to help this guy and thought I was getting a good deal. I found out I had been scammed after I googled " A Collezioni" and read stories similar to mine. Ironically, he approached my son at the same location on Friday, November 11th. My son followed him and called the cops on this guy. They took him in to the North Bergen Police Department in New Jersey. He had lots of Jackets and about a thousand dollars in his pocket. He showed the officer receipts for each jacket costing ten dollars a piece! I took in the jackets and the suit to the police station and they were exactly like the ones he had in his car. While he was at the police station he was crying and calling someone to bail him out. I'm not sure what exactly happened to him after I left. I was there for about 2 hours while we filed a report against him. I'm pressing charges against this guy. I want my money back! </blockquote> I got this email from someone who ran into the same guy.
