There's a lot one needs to look out for living in the big city...

Well you can add another thing to be on the lookout for, skanky gypsies looking to part you from your money.

An elderly Brooklyn man was taken for 300K in a gold coin scam and was about to give the gypsy skanks (go to the link and decide for yourself if the headline instead of 'Foxy Duo' should read 'wharf rats') another 450K when one claimed she needed a new kidney (They're cheaper than 450K on Amazon) and it's at that point 'Vincent' was wised up by his friends this was nothing more than a gypsy scam. Reeva Johnson and Holly Mitchell were arrested and face 37 years in prison. Both wharf rats are married to brothers in a gypsy clan police said. The victim, Vincent said the scam began when he was locked onto by Johnson who would somehow just magically appear when he was out shopping.

Lesson here, if you have a senior in your family who you suspect may need money mangement help or they give clues to paying people to do things that don't need doing or you notice a sudden change in their finances, look into it and of need be call the cops.

Don't feed the wharf rats.
