Spare change scammer redux

[anomie666.livejournal.com]

I've seen a few posts here and b0st0n lately about the "spare change scammer". This is a guy whose typical scam is to try to sell you a spare change newspaper and when you give him a $1, he walks away. He is also known to sometimes switch off and give you one of the free newspapers instead of the spare change paper.

Legitimate people who sell spare change newspapers will be wearing an ID badge.

Anyway, I saw him this morning and I took his picture with my crappy cell phone camera.





He is about 50 or so, wears a leather "beret" type hat and sunglasses.

I was pretty close to him. He didn't say anything, but he knows not to ask me to buy a paper because I've called him on the scam several times. He just walked right by me.
