Keychain Peddler Targets Seniors with Sob Story
A cunning scammer has been spotted preying on elderly individuals in the community, using a heart-wrenching tale to swindle them out of their hard-earned cash. The con artist, who claims to have been released from prison and is struggling to find employment, has been approaching seniors with a pitiful story, attempting to guilt-trip them into purchasing overpriced keychains.
According to eyewitnesses, the scammer has been frequenting local areas, targeting vulnerable seniors with his fabricated story. He claims to be selling keychains for $10 each, allegedly to make ends meet. However, what raises suspicions is that he has been seen peddling his wares for over a year, with no signs of improving his circumstances
Here is what the witness said:
Beware of scammer selling keychains . He is always seen preying on the elders. My mom told me he approached her multiple times alr , mentioning he was released from prison since last year and cannot find a job so sell keychains for $10 each . After one year, still see him around doing the same thing. Dont even have permit / license or letter from yellow ribbon to be selling keychains. If really in bad situation, still can afford cigg?
Nowadays if willing to work, even grabfood also can do. Perhaps selling keychain earn more? Fyi you get approached and tell him no, sometimes he will scold you for wasting his time. I rather donate to the tissue sellers there..
