WARNING: Con Artist (asking for sponsorship for the 'local kids football team')


Recommended Posts

This evening I challenged a young black guy at my door who was getting sponsorship for the 'local kids football team', he had called before and claimed to be collecting. He got aggressive, threatened to break my jaw and said he would come back to 'put my windows' in, I followed hi down the street and he ran off. I have given description to the ED Police station so if you have had a similar experience please let them know.


I live in Silvester Road and he was about 5'9", black, wearing a black beanie hat and an England Rugby tracksuit top with the O2 sponsorship logo on it. He had two sheets of paper with writing on them but these are just props.


Do not give this man money.

He's called at mine too at the start of summer, in broad daylight claiming he lived right opposite. Pellatt Road. I felt totally intimidated into giving him a couple of quid even though everything about him was telling me it was a con. Hopefully he gets caught soon, not good to hear he's threatening violence.

There’s also a step up into Maria’s - much smaller but you need to negotiate the step and door at the same time. Olivelli has more room and if I remember right the toilets are on the ground floor. A consideration if steps are an issue The Lordship might be an option. Noise is not usually an issue. We’ve enjoyed various meals there.
