Organised collecting of moneys. Portraying to have saved them a parking fee when there was No parking fee. Scam in my books. These are not beggars, what I saw was organised. By all means have a trip to Donni and sit in your car from 2pm for an hour or so. See if you still feel the same about giving your hard earned after watching others being fleeced.

Again go and see it for your self and not come to the same conclusion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeHasRisen Posted September 3, 2021 Share Posted September 3, 2021 Well no, its not a scam, its just being oppurtunistic. You can choose to part with your money or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Finding something and having it away on your toes is opportunistic. Hovering around time after time to pull the same deception is not.

If the machine was accepting money then money has been saved. No lies were told, nobody was intimidated, money was freely given. Where’s the scam?

There are in fact Signs to tell of the councils freebie parking and it is this the Scammers are waiting (ever so helpful like) to point out before those parking up have barely reached the ticket machines. Of course organised fleecing is being scammed. If you choose not to believe me and not check it out yourself there's nothing I can do about that. Keep safe.

HeHasRisen Posted September 3, 2021 Share Posted September 3, 2021 Nobody is disbelieving you, I just dont think its a "scam", if people want to give a beggar the money they were about to pour into the ticket machine, more fool them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
