Eric York the (non) dogwalker

[buddug]

I can recommend Jane - she walks my little dog Daisy regularly and is very professional and Daisy gets very waggy-tailed whenever she arrives - a good sign!

She's on 07936 338 128

I can second Jane - she walked our VERY energetic German Shepherd and was brilliant with her. She's trustworthy, reliable, honest and very caring. Happy to recommend her.

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.

Do you really think the filth/ trading standards/ RPSCA / INTERPOL should be bothered with this ?

do try to keep this in perspective

Snorky's more of a bunny kind of guy.

The tax man would probably be interested as well if he has been paid cash in hand?

[missse22]

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.

His advert was still up at the Pet Shop in Northcross Road last week.

[jimbo1964]

He sounds like an absolute scumbag.

Obtaining money under false pretences is the crime commonly known as fraud. It's a police matter.
