Hopefully karma will overlook your gullible-ness and reward you with something positive. I'm sure you've learned your lesson for the month.

As if everything that happened in the beginning wasn't enough, none of this worried you???
He couldn't REMEMBER his social??
Something similar happened to me years ago, but for much less money. Some guy just walked in, told me his sob story, and then I gave him the money. After he left I was like.. WTF just happened?????? I never give anyone money for any reason (except for the occasional coin to a homeless guy), much less from the cash register of the place I work. Later that night I checked the security cameras and turns out the guy flinged some kind of powder at me while I wasn't looking, basically drugged me. Motherfucker, couldn't you just point a gun at me?

Best robber ever. He is just asking for the money nicely, not holding you at gunpoint.

Hey mang. He probably wasn't even a drug dealer! Weed is legal in Holland. He might have even been Canadian. That explains the fraudster mindset.
Now. Had I said " An alleged Muslim coffee shop owner" Then we'd have a whole different case on our hands.
Plus. Everyone knows Canadians are the real terrorists.

There used to be a "homeless" who would work near one of the on ramps by my old college and he would visibly limp up and down the rows of cars as peopl gave him a couple bucks - I never give these dudes money. Then one day I see the guy walking near campus completely fucking normal. Next time through the intersection I just gave him the finger.
This guy I work with fell for a scam like this. Someone came in and said an employee was arrested and needed bail money. He gave it to them, like an idiot.
After he found out it was a scam he went on the local news and told his story. I was thinking "if I did something that fucking stupid I would never go on the news and tell everyone about it!"
Guess thats why he gave the person money in the first place though.

I don't know why the US (and probably other countries) uses such a cumbersome system for identifying people. Here in Sweden the identification number ("personnummer" - "personal number"), which is given to everyone when they're born, is on the form YYMMDD-NNGC. The first six digits are self-explanatory (the date of your birth); the next two are just for uniqueness; the G is odd for men and even for women; and the C is a control number. Remembering all of it is just a matter of learning the last four digits (since most people know when they were born).
Anyway, awesome thread, awesome story! Hopefully you won't get fired, though I kind of agree with those who think that you deserve to be.

How. The. Fuck?
A guy that tells you he's trustworthy because he's a muslim and asks you for money to prevent him from losing his car because it was being used to mule drugs and so you throw him some cash from the fucking register right then and there?
Obviously you were being scammed but least you probably learned your 140 euro lesson. But seriously, you could have been fucked on a titanic level if something like this happened and the police find out that you were actually helping a drug dealer not get caught. Like fucked in the sense of prison-rape.

The gender digit can be any odd number, so the actual number of unique male numbers for each date is 500. Only about 110,000 people are born every year in Sweden, so that's only about 300 people every day. No risk of running out of numbers there.
However, this is actually becoming a problem anyway, because of immigration. The people who move here and become Swedish citizens also need personal numbers, so a few dates are in fact running out of available numbers. The suggested solution is to let the fifth and sixth digits not denote the day of the month anymore, but be used for uniqueness. I don't know if this has been set in action yet, but when it is we'll no longer be able to see on what day someone was born by looking at their personal number, just the year and month. Those of us who already have YYMMDD-numbers will keep them, of course.
Additional info: When someone becomes 100 years old, the '-' sign is switched to a '+' sign. So "950101-XXXX" would mean the person was born in 1995, while "950101+XXXX" would mean he/she was born in 1895.

I'm not sure if it matters that the person he did something nice for was a less then honest person themselves. He helped someone when they needed him. That's it. Well ... at least he though he was helping someone when they needed him. Heh.
He may have been gullible. He may have been stupid for taking the money out of the register. I don't think that should take away from his kindness though. If any of you were stuck in a situation in which you needed money, you should consider yourselves lucky to find someone willing to help in such a manner.

Actually, I think it has to be more than 500 for it to break down. Since the G-number is a factor as well.
00-99 for the NN, then 1, 3, 5, 7, 9 for G.
I guess if the numbers started being insufficient adding a fifth digit would allow ten times as many births.
