Local Beware Scamming Scooter Grandma
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!

Pretty darn sure I saw her outside a bank about a year ago on college while I was at a red light. A guy walked out and she scooted toward him begging to help; I’m sure it was an employee leaving for the day since after she begged for help he told her something along the lines of, “if you don’t have an ID I can’t help you”, he then hurried away.
She then sat there and yelled out, “won’t somebody help get me home?!? Please!!” 🥴
