Heads up for your neighborhoods. A scammer by the name of Kevin Edward
Ross is working neighborhoods across the city, claiming he locked his
keys in his car and needs money for a locksmith. He asks the victim for
a specific amount of money ($16 or $18) and sometimes claims his
girlfriend is a flight attendant. Sometimes he asks the victim to take
him somewhere across town.
No one has been hurt or robbed by this man but plenty have been taken in
by his sob story. He's been reported in Mordecai, Oakwood, Cooke St, and
Cameron Park, among other neighborhoods. He works Durham, too.
You can read more about Ross and view his mug shot (he was arrested by
RPD in June but is at it again) here:
