Folks,
Just thought I’d share a somewhat unsettling experience that happened to me yesterday morning. I visited a lady who I’ve seen a couple of times last year, in a well known apartment block in the city centre. I’ve had a great time with her in the past and what happened is no reflection on her (I think). Anyway had a great time with her again.
When I was leaving I stepped out of the front door of the block and a young fella approached me with his top covering the bottom half of his face. He told me not to return to my car as it was being watched and that I had been photographed entering and had just been photographed leaving. I was shocked as you can imagine so I walked a few paces with him. It was obvious he was trying to scare the s*it out of me and it nearly worked. He then said ‘they’ had my car reg and ‘they’ were going to post the pictures on Facebook but they wanted £300 and the pictures would be deleted. At this point I realised I was being scammed , turned on my heel got into my car and left.
The mind works overtime in these situations. The block has a glass front and the lady had to come down to let me in because of an intercom problem so if someone was taking pictures they would have seen me meeting and hugging her in full view. But I’ve since seen reviews from others who mentioned the same intercom issue.
So on balance I’ve decided I have nothing to worry about and nothing has happened since. But just be aware.
