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.

    • If you like very good quality South Asian food then Babur in Brockley is offering a well priced, for what it is, Christmas day menu with sensitively priced reductions for a more limited children's menu. They also have a compelling wine list and their specialist cocktails are phenomenal. Not traditional Christmas fare, but then that might be an additional recommendation.

    • Dear families,   My name is Eleanor. I’ve worked in NHS Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services for the past eight years, and I’m about to begin an Infant Observation course in preparation for psychotherapy training. I’m looking for a baby to observe as part of this training.   The observation involves me visiting a baby and their parent for one hour a week over two years, with the aim of deepening my understanding of early emotional and developmental processes. Taking part is a generous contribution to the training of future child psychotherapists — ultimately supporting the mental health of children and families.   Both of my own children were observed as babies, which I found to be a really positive experience. Having an observer gently witness my babies’ development helped me notice their weekly changes in a new way, and I came to appreciate the calm, consistent presence of a trained observer. I was sad when the observations ended!   If you — or someone you know — is expecting a baby due before the end of February*, I would love to hear from you. You can contact me at +44 7977 910018 or [email protected].   Best wishes, Eleanor
    • I rarely iron, so my massive ironing board is just taking up unnecessary space. Does anyone have one of those little ones that you can use on an ordinary table?
