Possible Scammer EWR

[KSMH]

I was in EWR, had a Israeli gentleman come over to me explaining in Hebrew that he lost his wallet and needs a train to DC. He asked for $86.

 Realizing he his most likley a scam. He sort of gave up on getting money. I then picked up his carry on and it was weight less. He opened it and had it packed with a pair of pants and a seltzer bottle. Not a typical traveler.

He ran away.

If he is still there he must be making money

Perhaps we should start a Gofundme?
I'd say sure, I only have my cc on me so let me get you a ticket.

It's like Tom Hanks, except he's stuck over a matter of $80.

Been there done that a few times in Kiev with people who "needed money to change ticket" coming home from Uman. Offered to go to counter and use cc.

was he blocking you with his hand from taking a picture?

[Luvisrael]

Its really sad. I know this sounds naive but why deosnt he just get a job. Or at least just collect money straight up? Why do people scam? Especially for under $100 a victim

At first he tried, then gave up after being followed.

Wonder if it’s the same guy. He told me he lives in Boston. If it is , this guy has been killing it for years

[Luvisrael]

This guy operates all over the Country. Read the comments.

Being gomlei chassadim is in our DNA. Unfortunately that sometimes leads to getting taken by a scammer. If the guy is successful fooling one out of 10 people he would be doing very well for himself. The people on DDF are probably a little sharper than his average target.
I would think if he does this too often eventually he would run into problems with security.

he blends in well with the travelling crowd. The funny thing is , is that he doesnt change his MO and story one bit. It always includes the same details. $80, train boston etc..
