Got Shafted

by GotShafted

I went to a Rays game and parked in a parking lot where they charged me $15.00. The guys had official looking flags and vests on and waiving people into the lot. After the game and concert we went to the parking lot to drive home and APEX Towing had booted our vehicle and told us it would be $50 to take the boot off or they were going to tow my car. There were several other people there that had also paid to park that had been either booted or blocked in by the tow truck. We had ALL paid to park there, but ALL were made to pay $50 to be able to leave the parking lot. There was a sign about 8 spaces down from where we parked stating it was a tow away zone, but this was blocked by the cars that were already parked in front of the sign when we arrived. Although we all tried to explain this to the APEX tow truck driver he refused to let us leave and we ALL ended up paying $50 IN CASH ONLY to the driver. Tell me this is not a SCAM!
