New Scam

[Corporal Jones]

Scam Alert- we had visit this morning from a possibly dutch/german male 6 foot tall skinny build about 55. he gave story about being a neighbour and being broken into the previous night, he had been to police etc got locks changed but locksmith charging 534 euro, his bank only pay 500 in 1 day so short of 34 another neighbour had given 10 just 24 short. Man very plausable and able to field every question. Sent packing with no money. Neighbour have no knowledge.

Happened also to my visitors.   My friend offered to go with him to pay locksmith.   He soon disappeared..

We has a visit from this con artist today. I said I'll phone the police to report your burglary. He couldn't get down the path fast enough. He got into a small white car and was driven away.

Its beyond belief that no one has caught him - photo ? reg number ?

He's not visited me either, so those expensive gates near the school have proved there worth.

Update. Apparently this chap has struck again in the last few days up by the school, he approached a Brit couple who were renting and managed to con some money out of them for lock changing.........said his kids played with theirs in the pool which is a little concerning.
There are some wronguns out there

Rich rest assured positive action was taken when frank came calling but despite our efforts he slipped away before policia arrived. As stated previously he is very believable so the unwary could easily be conned.
