If that image isn’t the basis of this weeks B3ta image challenge, I’ll be sorely disappointed.

I would have asked to look at her fuel gauge (fnar fnar)

Somebody tried a similar scam on me twice in the space of a few weeks in the Old Trafford/Salford uays part of Manchester about five years ago. He got quite arsey the second time when I said “not again” and suggested he really should be a bit more careful with these things

There’s also a ‘Canadian’ bloke who has been running a similar scam on Manchester’s public transport system for years and years (usually on a Number 42 bus), some bollocks about being stranded without his luggage.

I thought it was Lucy Davis at first… y’know Dawn from The Office. Here’s her photo: http://bit.ly/2zP648

Excellent seat belt tits. Definitely worth £10 just for a picture of them.

Perhaps it would have been better to take a photo of the car registration plate, or ask for her address? She knows where you live…

Yes, this woman guilt-tripped my mum once, and then two days later I was able to catch her trying it with someone else, and I got revenge in the form of a very public dressing-down. Don’t remember the boobs though, must have been winter when she struck.

We should be able to find her using the power of 6 degrees and all that – everyone should just forward this link on to someone they know who lives in London or even better near Kentish Town and we’re bound to be able to identify her in no time.

There’s a pretty red head who scams people near East Croydon Station – I gave her a couple of quid once only to see her a few minutes later asking someone else for money and then giving it to a rough looking dude round the corner.

It’s a shame as tossers like this that make it difficult for honest people who really find themselves in trouble.

I used to live in Tufnell Park about 8 years ago – close to Kentish Town – and I remember this woman well. She used this scam so many times I ended up having a huge go at her in the street because basically I am a very distinctive looking person and she’d tried it on with me about 3 times in 2 weeks – always after a few quid to fill her car up which had broken down up the road, never slow to resort to showing a bit of flesh or crying. Recognised her immediately from the pic!

@Adam
I’ve also seen the bloke you mention on Hackney Road by Minerva St a few years back. Left lower arm iirc and it wasn’t fake, every time he moved his fingers you could see the muscles twitching. Was quite a disturbing sight at 2am after a night in the Durham. Even more disturbing that he does it deliberately.
