Original Message by Karla:
Hi all,

On my way back from work walking through the Tesco carpark a man approached me asking for spare change. He claimed that his car was in the petrol station and had run out of petrol, and he'd left his wallet at work. I gave him £1 as he seemed genuine, but when I told my boyfriend the story he said he'd seen a man doing the same thing a week earlier. He matched the same description - approx 6ft-6ft4, slim, dark shortish hair, approx age 30 - so I wonder if it's a regular scam that is being carried out. Has anyone else been approached in this way?
