On Friday, May 15th at approximately 11:00 a.m., a South San Francisco resident was walking westbound on the 200 block of South Spruce Avenue when an unidentified subject confronted her and spoke to her in Spanish, offering to sell her a “diamond.” During their conversation, a second subject drove up next to them and offered to buy the diamond for $7,000.00. The seller turned down the subject, because he had already offered the diamond to the victim. Believing the diamond was real, the victim gave the subject $700.00 in cash and $1,500.00 worth of her own jewelry for the diamond. The victim later discovered that the diamond was fake.
