Good Morning Ladies,
This morning I was approached by a man in his mid 40’s dressed with blue jeans and a block parker coat with fur around the hood. He was foreign maybe Romanian or Polish definitely Eastern European . He was around 6ft tall and balding , his English was perfect however he had a very strong Eastern European accent.
I was driving down Webbs road to park on Chatham Road and he was chasing my car, When i pulled up and got out the car he was standing right by by door waiting for me to get out. He seemed nervous and scared.
His story was as follows:
Hi Dee, you don't know me but you know my wife Rebecca Moore and my daughter Lucy they come to your shop to have there nails done, mostly on a Saturday. My wife Rebecca is a teacher and has long blond hair she said she is good friends with you.
At this point I was looking at him thinking he wanted to surprise his wife or maybe ask for a discount on a voucher or something.
He then said that he is in trouble and that his wife told him to come to me and that i would be happy to help him because she is such a good customer. He said that he drives a BMW jeep and that it had broken down, that is was stuck in the middle of the road and his wallet was locked in his surgery because he is a Doctor.His reasons for needing the money was to buy a part worth £600 and if i could lend him the money until Rebecca gets home. He then said he understands that £600 is a lot of money and maybe i could help him with £200.He would be happy to get in my car with me and go to the cash point. I could then take him to pick up the part.
At this point I was fully aware that this was some kind of doggy scam and that I was being targeted.
I told him that I was not the person that could help him and he should ask someone else.
I am really scared as he knows my name, the car I drive and where I park.
Has anyone else been targeted? I have reported him to the police.
Just letting everyone know to be aware.
