Irish scammers in front of AH Bastiaanpoort just now
Two Irish men were in front of the AH at Bastiaanpoort and approached my partner with a sob story. Claiming their car got broken into the night before and their wallets and passports were stolen. They desperately needed the cash to buy tickets for the ferry back, as without their passports they couldn't book the tickets online. They would send the money through their Irish banking app to him (£490) and he had to take €560 out of the ATM for them. They showed him a (fake) bank transfer screenshot.
They even had the guts to call him again after to thank him for his help. They use time pressure and looked like they are in need of saving to trick people.
I have never been scammed or seen scams like this in Delft, but after googling it seems to be quite common. I am sad I wasn't there with him to stop it, but I do want to warn all of you to keep an eye out and not get scammed or stop others from being tricked by them. One of the men was called Francis, and we do have his phone number. This happened like 20 minutes ago.
