Eric York the (non) dogwalker

Forgive me for being a bit slow if this has been dealt with elsewhere, but why is his fraudulent conduct not such that it would be perfectly justifiable reporting him to the Police?


I quite appreciate individually it is not a large amount of money (although assuming he does the same thing with others, over time the total of his fraudulently obtained money would mount up). If he deceives you in order to gain financially, by agreeing he will take your dog out for a walk, but then not doing so, making it look like he has done and then asking for/accepting money for having done so (when he hasn't) how is that not obtaining money by deception (i.e. a criminal offence under The Theft Act, or under The Fraud Act?


If he stole from me like that I would go to the Police as I would want him stopped from ripping others off, as well as wanting some justice for me and my dog!


Trading Standards would be a poor second best, but better than nothing. The RSPCA is the wrong organisation entirely for this.


What a scumbag!! Next time I go to the pet shop in Northcross Road I will see if he's advertising for this man's services. If he still is, I will be spending my money somewhere else!

I agree completely with robbin. I'm sorry you've been through this. Whilst I also appreciate it is a small amount of money, it still comes down to theft. You've paid for services that you haven't received. To have the audacity to just walk in to someones home, take the money you have been left and leave without thought is just disgusting behaviour. You wouldn't let someone just take money out of your purse and then shrug it off. I realise its difficult to go forward with some complaints about people but I do think the police need to be informed of cases like this and your the perfect person to do it as you have true footage of the event in question. East Dulwich forum is a large community, yes, but still only a marginal amount of residents use it. He could be getting away with this, with 20 families, a week who have no idea as they don't read the forum. Regardless of whether he is being paid ?2.50 for a dog walk or ?10 the amount of money he is fraudulently taking of people that have no reason not to trust him could well be a lot! You will feel better about it all if you at least report it and you could be saving more people the hurt of finding out he has been doing this to them.
What does Eric look like!? Does he live on under hill rd? Brown hair white man with reddish cheeks! If so I walked passed him about 6 months ago and he was yelling at a dog and my fellow mum friend said she saw him grabbing the dog round the neck :( this very much saddened me.

    • That's a helpful update. I hope you get it recovered and repaired without further difficulty. Annoying it should have happened just after a service. At least no one could drive it away in the meantime!
    • Hi - a friend sent me this link…   The car is neither abandoned nor stolen! (Nor ever has been, so not sure why that has been suggested). It is mine, I collected it from service (and MOT as identified by some on here) on Friday, driving home it had a bit of a hissy fit and broke down! AA attended on Friday, could not recover it until this morning. Spoken to the nice people inside Westminster carpet on Friday who couldn’t have been kinder, I moved the car back from the doors of the property as best I could without blocking more parking spaces. Recovery should be here imminently. Apologies for any inconvenience.
    • That's very odd if they won't answer. Do they just say "no, we won't tell you that"? I can understand they wouldn't want you to get the bread direct from their source instead of from them, but why not just say that? If they baked it themselves, I imagine they would be only too happy to let people know.
    • Possibly one of the other local garage owners may know? Also, it's possible if the owners and staff are still in the area that they might see your post. They didn't post on here themselves (to the best of my knowledge) but they must have known that I did, as a couple of times the lady who worked in reception phoned me to ask me if I could  post in the "Lost" section when something dropped in Hansler Road had been handed in to them. Unfortunately I only have their office landline  number, which presumably disappeared when they closed. Good luck! Hopefully your service manual may turn up in an unexpected place.
