I've got Wendy on the phone. High Wendy.
Speaker 4 (00:32):
Hello, Hello by Marie.
Speaker 5 (00:35):
Hey there Wendy. What is going on? Hollywood knows a
little bit of it, but I don't know any of it.
Speaker 3 (00:41):
Well, first of all, these New York City garage scams,
they're everywhere. They're hot and heavy. They couldn't be hotter
than ever.
Speaker 4 (00:47):
Right now, Okay, Well, this weekend I was in New
York and I went to a garage. I thought I
was getting the early Bird special. It said six to
ten parts for four hours, twenty bucks. I'm like, oh good,
that's a good I can get all my stuff down.
While I got in there, it was nine o'clock, get
out at one. I was actually there, you know, twelve
fifty seven on time. The guy tried to charge me
(01:09):
one hundred. He did charge one hundred and sixty bucks.
I'm like, what.
Speaker 6 (01:12):
Whoa, Okay, that's.
Speaker 3 (01:15):
A lot now for what we understand, Wendy.
Speaker 2 (01:18):
You know, you come back to the car, he's not
giving you your car back, apparently until you pay one
hundred and sixty dollars. Explain how he got from that
early bird special twelve hundred and sixty dollars.
Speaker 3 (01:30):
How is that even?
Speaker 7 (01:31):
How does it even make sense?
Speaker 4 (01:33):
I'll try to explain it. I don't even understand the
whole thing. So he said I had to be in
by six and out by ten. So he said I
had to be out by ten to get the twenty bucks.
I got there at nine, was out by one, and
he said, yeah, that's four hours, but you went past ten.
So now you have to pay twenty hours.
Speaker 3 (01:52):
Right, So then what's the hourly charge? That was my
next question. What's the hourly charge?
Speaker 4 (01:56):
Sixteen bucks an hour? So if my twenty bucks and
then sixteen bucks an hour, that that comed up to
what eighty four bucks?
Speaker 8 (02:07):
Right right?
Speaker 3 (02:08):
Yeah, he's getting your for another.
Speaker 2 (02:10):
Now, when you went back to this guy who we're
gonna call in a minute, We're gonna call the parking garage.
We're gonna get this guy on the phone. We're gonna
threaten him like we do on Fraud Friday, every Friday.
We're gonna threaten the hell out of this guy.
Speaker 3 (02:20):
But how did he explain this to you?
Speaker 2 (02:23):
Well, when you wanted your car to the garage and
he wouldn't give it to you, was it because you're
a Red Sox van and you're a Yankee town?
Speaker 4 (02:32):
But he really didn't explain it. He couldn't give me
a good answer. And I went through the math with him,
and he's like, you were here longer, it's in the
fine print. I'm like, what fine print? And you know,
this guy wasn't even mean. He was just so polite,
this condescending way. And even when I.
Speaker 2 (02:51):
Got yeah, if I'm pissed and I'm yelling at you, please,
for God's sake, yell back, let's let's get it here.
Speaker 5 (03:00):
Let's don't put it all on the table, get it
out exactly.
Speaker 2 (03:05):
Don't be that condescendingly polite guy that think you're gonna
get over on me because you're you're a lot calmer
than me.
Speaker 7 (03:12):
Right, it just escalates you.
Speaker 3 (03:15):
Right exactly.
Speaker 4 (03:18):
You wanted to go.
Speaker 3 (03:19):
And the funny thing about it is, you know, I've
had this trouble.
Speaker 2 (03:22):
You know I live you know, I live in Jersey City,
but I'm in the city a lot, and I've had
my car.
Speaker 3 (03:26):
You know, you come in from dinner.
Speaker 2 (03:27):
Or something at night or what any they're overcharging you
by just enough where it's not a big hassle where
you're gonna call the cop. They know that fine, that
that amount of overcharge where you don't want to deal with.
Speaker 6 (03:40):
It, you know what the hassle, so you just pay.
But this sounds pretty egregious. He got to one hundred
and sixty bucks pretty quick, this guy. Let's find out why.
Speaker 5 (03:47):
Yeah, And when she questioned him about the how did
you come up to the he couldn't answer the question
on how he came up right?
Speaker 3 (03:53):
Read the fine print?
Speaker 7 (03:54):
Okay, what does that mean?
Speaker 3 (03:55):
Where's the fine print?
Speaker 7 (03:56):

Speaker 6 (04:22):
Four hours in the city cost her one hundred and
sixty bucks to get her car back.
Speaker 5 (04:27):
It's strong.
Speaker 2 (04:28):
It's not that fifty or one hundred thousand dollars payback
that we normally get with these big real estate scams.
And what were some of the other amounts that we've
gotten our listener's back.

the smartest deal you can get. You get us at
twenty bucks.

In the morning, you are by ten in the morning,
twenty bucks either one to three you win, you out.
Speaker 7 (06:21):

stay till.
Speaker 9 (06:24):
Noon, I charged the two hours there it is fifty
dollars times two is thirty two.
Speaker 8 (06:30):
Yeah, thirty two, so thirty two.
Speaker 7 (06:33):
So that total amount is thirty two.
Speaker 8 (06:35):
And fifty comes out to fifty two.
Speaker 7 (06:37):
Thirty two, fifty two.
Speaker 8 (06:40):
Thirty two to twenty. You got thirty two, so that's
thirty two and twenty. It's fifty two dollars.
Speaker 5 (06:44):
Oh, fifty two dollars is what you're saying. Okay, And
then what if I went like past one? What would
that cost me? Would that cost me? To the point
where you is you keep my car and you won't
let me leave, and you and it becomes a big scene,
and I get really upset, and you act very passive
aggressive by doing what.

I've got Wendy on the phone. High Wendy.
Speaker 4 (00:32):
Hello, Hello by Marie.
Speaker 5 (00:35):
Hey there Wendy. What is going on? Hollywood knows a
little bit of it, but I don't know any of it.
Speaker 3 (00:41):
Well, first of all, these New York City garage scams,
they're everywhere. They're hot and heavy. They couldn't be hotter
than ever.
Speaker 4 (00:47):
Right now, Okay, Well, this weekend I was in New
York and I went to a garage. I thought I
was getting the early Bird special. It said six to
ten parts for four hours, twenty bucks. I'm like, oh good,
that's a good I can get all my stuff down.
While I got in there, it was nine o'clock, get
out at one. I was actually there, you know, twelve
fifty seven on time. The guy tried to charge me
(01:09):
one hundred. He did charge one hundred and sixty bucks.
I'm like, what.
Speaker 6 (01:12):
Whoa, Okay, that's.
Speaker 3 (01:15):
A lot now for what we understand, Wendy.
Speaker 2 (01:18):
You know, you come back to the car, he's not
giving you your car back, apparently until you pay one
hundred and sixty dollars. Explain how he got from that
early bird special twelve hundred and sixty dollars.
Speaker 3 (01:30):
How is that even?
Speaker 7 (01:31):
How does it even make sense?
Speaker 4 (01:33):
I'll try to explain it. I don't even understand the
whole thing. So he said I had to be in
by six and out by ten. So he said I
had to be out by ten to get the twenty bucks.
I got there at nine, was out by one, and
he said, yeah, that's four hours, but you went past ten.
So now you have to pay twenty hours.
Speaker 3 (01:52):
Right, So then what's the hourly charge? That was my
next question. What's the hourly charge?
Speaker 4 (01:56):
Sixteen bucks an hour? So if my twenty bucks and
then sixteen bucks an hour, that that comed up to
what eighty four bucks?
Speaker 8 (02:07):
Right right?
Speaker 3 (02:08):
Yeah, he's getting your for another.
Speaker 2 (02:10):
Now, when you went back to this guy who we're
gonna call in a minute, We're gonna call the parking garage.
We're gonna get this guy on the phone. We're gonna
threaten him like we do on Fraud Friday, every Friday.
We're gonna threaten the hell out of this guy.
Speaker 3 (02:20):
But how did he explain this to you?
Speaker 2 (02:23):
Well, when you wanted your car to the garage and
he wouldn't give it to you, was it because you're
a Red Sox van and you're a Yankee town?
Speaker 4 (02:32):
But he really didn't explain it. He couldn't give me
a good answer. And I went through the math with him,
and he's like, you were here longer, it's in the
fine print. I'm like, what fine print? And you know,
this guy wasn't even mean. He was just so polite,
this condescending way. And even when I.
Speaker 2 (02:51):
Got yeah, if I'm pissed and I'm yelling at you, please,
for God's sake, yell back, let's let's get it here.
Speaker 5 (03:00):
Let's don't put it all on the table, get it
out exactly.
Speaker 2 (03:05):
Don't be that condescendingly polite guy that think you're gonna
get over on me because you're you're a lot calmer
than me.
Speaker 7 (03:12):
Right, it just escalates you.
Speaker 3 (03:15):
Right exactly.
Speaker 4 (03:18):
You wanted to go.
Speaker 3 (03:19):
And the funny thing about it is, you know, I've
had this trouble.
Speaker 2 (03:22):
You know I live you know, I live in Jersey City,
but I'm in the city a lot, and I've had
my car.
Speaker 3 (03:26):
You know, you come in from dinner.
Speaker 2 (03:27):
Or something at night or what any they're overcharging you
by just enough where it's not a big hassle where
you're gonna call the cop. They know that fine, that
that amount of overcharge where you don't want to deal with.
Speaker 6 (03:40):
It, you know what the hassle, so you just pay.
But this sounds pretty egregious. He got to one hundred
and sixty bucks pretty quick, this guy. Let's find out why.
Speaker 5 (03:47):
Yeah, And when she questioned him about the how did
you come up to the he couldn't answer the question
on how he came up right?
Speaker 3 (03:53):
Read the fine print?
Speaker 7 (03:54):
Okay, what does that mean?
Speaker 3 (03:55):
Where's the fine print?
Speaker 7 (03:56):
These signs are so confusing.
Speaker 3 (03:58):
You have no idea how confusing these You did not

over there by the by the outhouse.

at six in the morning, get out by ten. It's
the smartest deal you can get. You get us at
twenty bucks.

Noon, I charged the two hours there it is fifty
dollars times two is thirty two.
Speaker 8 (06:30):
Yeah, thirty two, so thirty two.
Speaker 7 (06:33):
So that total amount is thirty two.
Speaker 8 (06:35):
And fifty comes out to fifty two.
Speaker 7 (06:37):
Thirty two, fifty two.
Speaker 8 (06:40):
Thirty two to twenty. You got thirty two, so that's
thirty two and twenty. It's fifty two dollars.
Speaker 5 (06:44):
Oh, fifty two dollars is what you're saying. Okay, And
then what if I went like past one? What would
that cost me? Would that cost me? To the point
where you is you keep my car and you won't
let me leave, and you and it becomes a big scene,
and I get really upset, and you act very passive
aggressive by doing what.

aren't you such a great person? Right? Like that like
that person, like that guy, And that would be my
parking situation with your garage.
Speaker 2 (07:21):

want to be bothered, right, because you're not.

for you. Okay. I don't know if it's a scam
you're personally running. Okay, hold on, hold on, I'm talking.
Speaker 2 (08:36):
I don't know if this is a scam you're personally pulling,
or if your bosses are in on it, or if
your bosses even know what you're up to. Listen to
Wendy's problem she's got with you that she's had with
you over the weekend.
Speaker 3 (08:47):

in at nine. I got in at nine. You said
I had four hours, and.

you got up to one hundred and sixty dollars you
told me at Poblo Pablo. But that time I was
so frustrated. I just paid you to get out of there,
and you.

keys back until she paid you the money.

had not paid the money out to the garage, then
they will not release her cheese. It is company published.
