Dear Editor,
Drivers, please beware of a couple driving around in a silver Nissan Tiida motor car purporting to be in need of help. Their modus operandi is to stop by the side of the road and solicit assistance from passing motorists in the form of cash and petrol.
This scamming couple played this trick on me a couple of weeks ago. After believing their hard-luck story, I took him to the gas station — against my wife's sixth sense — where I gave the man the equivalent of $500 in petrol. While relating my good deed to the rest of my family over the weekend, my sister informed me that this may be a scamming couple preying on motorists in the Corporate Area and the Portmore environs.
Imagine my amazement while travelling to St Thomas recently when I saw this couple again parked on the side of the road entreating passers-by. Suffice it to say, they were strenuously admonished by me.
Motorists, please exercise vigilance in rendering assistance.
