Today in Bromley I was stopped by a Uber delivery cyclist. He had a tissue held against the back of his hand. In a foreign accent he told he'd just had an accident and needed some money to buy first aid gear...
I carefully told him in best old English that he'd tried the same scam on me a few weeks ago and suggested he go back to his own country to try the scam on stupid people. He was upset and so were the good people of Bromley unaccustomed to a working class person expressing such a forthright opinion.
Anyway I came across this story in Shanghaist.

Am I getting a message to try a new career. I do look pathetic.
