| Am assuming the 'distressed' gentleman asking us for money, in front of Chiswick Post Office this afternoon, was trying it on? Said he'd just been released from hospital (which one?), had a bag of pills, and had 'lost his wallet' and needed to get to Hounslow. When we suggested the bus or the police station, he wasn't keen on either. Wanted the minicab fare. But we didn't pay up. Has anyone else encountered him? I know there have been threads about similar scams in the past. If he was genuine, I will feel rotten about this. I must say that it was so impressive performance, if that's what it was........ |
