Well people it has happened again. We really need to get the word out warning our neighbors not to fall prey to the pigeon drop/confidence schemes that are becoming more prevalent in our city.
Financial times are tough for most of us and the lure of helping someone and making $$ can be oh so tempting to some….
On Wednesday, over by the Spruce Safeway, another one of our neighbors got scammed by 2 guys playing him with a pigeon drop and our neighbor lost $3,000. Yep people do fall for it, sadly, which is why it keeps happening – easy cash for the thieves. Our neighbor Carole Wynne warned us a week ago and since then there have been 2 similar cases that PD has released. We have a page with resources that we encourage folks to review and to share with others.
If anyone saw anything that might help PD get the bad guys, pls call the anonymous tip line at 952.2244 or the reg line 877-8900. If you see something in real time always call 911.
