Sneaky Chap Going Aroudn Bumming Money

    Yes I know it is my own fault for being a suck but just to warn people..

    There is this chap going around calling into offices at the moment with different sob stories.

    It normally goes that he needs bus fair to go to see his landlord or something like that.

    The one he told me was that he lived on the street and just locked himself out of the house leaving all inside. He asked could he borrow the bus fair as he needed to go to the landlords house to get the spare key and that he would drop the money back later, that he worked in the Silver Quay as one of the Chefs.

    Needless to say I feel for it! Anywho gave him a €5 then two weeks later was rather annoyed as he didn't come back. So I called the Silver Quay and supposable this chap has caught a lot of people. He called to Costa in Blackpool with the same story and also got money from a few elderly people who have called in looking for it..Now that's why I am pissed whatever about myself but doing something like that to the elderly is just nasty..

    So if anyone so happens to come across him be weary and then give out to him for being an ass..

    If by any chance you can get a picture of him the bar is mad to get a picture of him to see who he is.His is fairly stockie I wouldn't say fit, but built, black hair typical hair cut shaved at the sides bit more on the top. To be honest he does look like a clean, rough-enin.. Speaks like he is a tad how to put it nicely slow.. I know that sounds mean but I am sure you get it..

    Never fall for the bus monen trick (hindsight is great, I know), sure way out is to offer to buy the ticket, watch the excuses flow then!

    Another wallet inspector on his rounds. There's still a sucker born every minute so it's clearly worth his while.
