I was done by this scam in late November just near the recently opened Tesco just off Acton Vale on Agnes Road. A quick trip from my flat to buy some milk turned into me returning a little lighter of pocket than I'd intended. Reading the previous descriptions of others my story was very similar. It went like this: Lady of Indian origin dressed in black called me from over the road. She was clutching her mobile and was in extreme distress. Story was that her mother-in-law had called and was with her children in Gosford Park Hospital (I think that was it though a goggle search doesn't throw anything up). Her husband wasn't answering and in her distress she had locked herself out the house (she didn't have a coat on and it was cold. She actually send 'thank God I didn't get locked out in just my slippers'). She asked for £12.50 for a cab to the hospital - giving me her phone number, her name (she said it was Shereena), and a house number on the street. They're all false as I called round to the house and they'd never heard of her and the mobile doesn't get answered. I found her very convincing. I'm not normally a mug for these things but I fully fell for it. Obviously caught compleletly off guard. She even showed me a picture of 'her kids' on the screensaver of her phone'. I reported it to the police - seems she's got quite a large catchment area for this scam. |
