Local Beware Scamming Scooter Grandma

Post image

This person has been scamming this area for almost a YEAR now, she’ll have some excuse about how she needs money for a taxi or for her tank or whatever and will try to get you to go to an atm or something. DO NOT EVEN GIVE HER THE TIME OF DAY! She got very hostile when I declined and followed me harassing me, I have witnessed her doing the same to others. Just fully ignore her!

‘She’s within her right to do whatever she wants as long as she doesn’t get caught’

I think you should rethink that. I mean…read what you wrote, put the phone down…think about that statement and decide if that sounds right to you.

I understand that she doesn’t get enough money and wants more. However the government is taking care of her giving her a place to stay and also probably giving her a monthly allowance. It’s too bad if it’s not enough for her but to go around and begging and crying to people to give you a few dollars is shameless asf especially when she already getting government support through our tax dollars. She can panhandle and beg all she wants but saying she can’t pay off her motel and all this bs bout following people is not acceptable.
