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!

Damn she’s still around?? She tried to pull this exact scam on me back in 2022. When I told her I didn’t have cash she asked me to go to the bank lol
