    Default Scam lady

    There was a fairly well dressed woman walking down Market st-her posture was really bad and she was bent over. She began crying alot and loudly and when we walked over to her, she said she didn't have any money to get back to Jersey. We told her she could talk to the transit police-she stopped crying immediately. Good scam!

    the bent-over bums are the worst. They tug at your heartstrings even though it is hard to hear what they are saying when they are pointed to the sidewalk. There is a guy who is always on Chestnut that really plays it up....although, one day I heard him talking to a friend and he sounded like an English professor.

    I've been approached by that woman at least 4 times. She's either going to Delran, Palmyra or Collingswood. The first time I actually believed her, but didn't have any cash on me to give her. Now I just "not falling for your scam!"...and she walks away.

    You could also just choke her a little...I hear it's all the rage in Society Hill these days.

    I know that guy, I go by him every day. He has a sign that says he is trying to get to San Fransico? I almost feel like buying him the damn ticket. Maybe we can take up a collection?

    Sounds exactly like the woman I've seen for years. She lives down by 3rd and christian somewhere. She'd try to scam me during the day/evening in Old City and South Street, then I'd see her walk home after a hard day of work.

    Back around 1999 I was walking out the then-still-open Strawbridges and a middle-aged Black guy approached and held out what looked like a gold bracelet in his hand. "Yo man! See dat? Ain' day beautiful? And ahm sellin' it. Faux only fauxty fahve dollahs!" When I said I didn't have 45 bucks he replied "Well how about ten?".

    That was the quickest 35 bucks I ever could have saved. But I didn't take him up on it.
