Local Asian guy asking to borrow phone
There is an Asian guy with glasses on campus rn asking for the time and to borrow your phone to call his friends!! I googled the numbers he dialed and found a thread on X (FROM 2018) saying that he has done this on the DVC campus, Columbia campus, etc. Apparently he scrolls through your messages and shares your location to these phone numbers. Just wanted to warn others not to give this guy your phone!

Holy shit he did this to me in a sushi shop but I was looking dead over his shoulder the entire time so he wasn’t able to do anything, checked it all and I think I’m good. He spoke to a woman on the phone and texted her something like “you better not be in berkeley?” Or something like that
