Beggars, homeless, street drinkers & drug users in Sheffield!

[RussianDoll]

Last night i was in waitrose car park When a girl approached my car. She was crying, saying her bag had been stolen, and needed money for a coach. She said she was a student on an open day. All very convincingly, she was was well dressed and well spoken. Unfortunately i helped her out. I then notices as she walked away she checked a mobile phone. I googled the ‘coach times’ she had told me and it was all a lie. After telling some friends they pointed me towards this forum and said that this woman in a notorious Sheffield scammer. I found out she has been doing this scam since 2006.  Just wanted to warn you all.

If she's been doing this for the best part of 14 years I'm somewhat surprised she could pass herself off as a student.

Has anyone seen the elderly chap begging outside B & M in Hillsborough? He comes prepared with blankets, ordinary and space, packed lunch and hot drink. He told me he was homeless but when I told him he should be entitled to temporary accommodation via SCC at his age he told me to ‘f off’

Thank you for the warning.

 

It's disgusting that she's still getting away with it then.  She should be in jail.

I thought you might have noticed RussianDoll in post #2182 described her as a girl.

 

You've even quoted it in your post above.

That's what I assumed.   He's very well prepared. He's moved to the side of the BHF shop now.  I was also told he's not homeless.  As catmiss says, he'd be classed as vulnerable if he is genuinely homeless, because of his age.  Just round the corner is the advice centre in Proctor Place.  I'm sure they could give him advice about claiming benefits he's entitled to, so he wouldn't have to sit out in the cold all day.

He isnt homeless he begs for drug money, ive watched him many times out of my window picking his weed up from his dealer who delivers it to him. At christmas he was begging outside morrisons and went in the shop where my partner works and they changed him £170 what he had scrounged he needs to get off his arse and get a propper job.
