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.

    • A huge shout-out to Andy! He’s helped us several times now and is an absolute gem. He doesn't just do the easy jobs; he finds solutions to the difficult, non-obvious problems that others might miss. He is very hard working, incredibly friendly, great with pets, and always leaves the place better than he found it. 10/10! 
    • Here to add my voice to those praising Temi. She just painted my dilapidated home office in ED and did a fantastic job in just two days in a much lighter colour, including woodwork, damp blocker and filling holes. She's efficient, on time and I barely heard a peep out of her; she just got on with the job. I recommend her wholeheartedly. 
    • The residents & families of the estate are getting parking fines,  out of the blue , the residents parking system waa changed from Southern to Sippi with cameras put up in the car park and people issued with fines entering the estate for more then 10 minutes , families can no longer pick up or drop off family due to a new 10 minute wait fine. Residents are appealing with Sippi and Southern as there was no letters to consult of a parking change,  new waiting times or fines, delivery drivers are getting fines everyday,  if you get a fine,  appeal it, there is no signage up to say about parking fines or waiting time
