Here is a picture of my grandmother. It could be her. I was raised by wolves.
I would call the police and report it to them.
Someone I work with had this happen to them, but they were inside when the supposed damage took place. When my co-worker came out to her car, the ‘fraudster’ started this stuff. She’s pretty young and didn’t know what to do. She held her ground when speaking with her insurance company and insisted on an investigation. The Insurance company did an investigation and it turned out ok.
You’re in Massachusetts? This is big business in the city of Lawrence. Go to the police in the town in which the incident happened and file a report just in case.
It’s a crime to leave the scene of an accident in most state, so if someone claims there was an accident, then anyone who leaves without reporting it could be in trouble, even if there was no accident. Definitely call the police and report no accident.
Call the police.
This was a typical Obama voter ACORN thug trying to shake down a frail old lady for a few fast bucks.
Ask the store if they have video of the parking lot. Report the incident to the police and have them look at the video.
If there’s nothing to see then you might drive to the police and ask them to examine your car.
Destory all evidence. Burn the car.
Then you and Mother should join the witness protection program.
Maybe flee the country.
Or, I know somebody who knows somebocy that can make the problem “disappear”.

Seriesly. I had someone do this to me years ago. I denied it. I took my car to my insurance adjuster which proved I had no damage, so how did this idiot claim my car damaged hers?
If it makes you feel weird, there’s a good chance it is weird. Probably worth calling the police.
The scammer may try to report it as hit and run. They get caught when every victim reports to cops and insurance and the same scammers keep popping up.
Turn on the date stamp, if your camera has one, and take a bunch of pictures of your car. If you damaged his car, yours should have damage as well. File them with the police report others have suggested.

Did your mom get a good look at the suspect? Can she provide a detailed description to the police? Approx. age, height, weight, hair and eye color, etc?
First of all, did you actually see the confrontation? Second, does your mother gamble? Play the horses? The lottery? Is it possible she’s in on the scam?
What everyone else is saying....Yes, contact the police.
Best thing is to go to the town that this incident happened with the perp and visit the police station. If they want to take a look at the car - file your statement there.
Call the police ASAP.
Backing up an off-ramp was one scam. You’d be exiting the freeway and there’d be this car seemingly waiting for traffic to move on. When you got close, say about ten feet or so the car would suddenly backup into you. The driver would get out accusing you of ramming his car. Cop shows up and yep, looked like you rear-ended the guys car.
I agree with bamagirl1944 .
Why would anyone sitting in a car which is not moving, accept that they ‘caused’ damage to a car that was moving ?
Did your mom have a cell phone, while sitting in the car?
