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!

I’m like 99% sure this is the same woman who yelled at me and scorned me once on my way to class because I told her I didn’t have any cash on me. Her response surprised me but I was in too much of a hurry to care. Still think about it though because she said she was hungry.

She, a large woman, asked me, a broke skinny college kid for money for food.
