Scammer posing as a cop
God bless this subReddit and all the street-smart members who make such posts for public awareness. I was headed to college but before that I went to the fruit vendor in front of my house to buy some fruits at 10:30AM (I live in Wadgaon Sheri) I finish buying the fruits and as I’m walking back to my house, a fake cop pulls up on his Passion (bike) and signals with his head asking me to come over. I go over to him and he’s all polite and asks me how’s it going and if I have a holiday today… He then proceeds to grab a big maroon register off his bike’s handlebar and opens it and shows me a couple of photos of policemen donating stuff to underprivileged/orphan children. Then says some stuff (apli garaj asti tasich tyanchi asti, fakt aplye aai vaidil kalji ghetat, tyanche nahi ghet) With the intent to make me sentimental. I instantly recall that one post in this subReddit I read about someone experiencing this exact same situation at the metro station. Then I ask the fake cop if he’s gonna ask me for a donation… he says yes. Yeah buddy. No way. I tell him I can’t donate then proceed to walk away… he tries to recall me as I walk away few steps but then I don’t look back. My earphones in my ears. Beware of this scam. This post was issued in public interest.4
