Shannon Fraser was walking her dog when she said she ran into a young boy who seemed very frantic.
“‘My phone is dead. I can’t find my family or friends. I’ve lost them,’” Fraser said. “He’s on a scooter. And he’s like, ‘Can I please use your phone to call them?’" Of course she helped him and let him use her phone, which I think most of us would do.
“He had the person on speaker. He’s like, ‘I can’t find you guys,’” she said. “He said, ‘Do you mind if I open your maps?’ So he opens up maps and I’m watching him do this. That’s the crazy part. I’m a foot away.”
They parted ways and Fraser did not think anything of it until she received an alert from her bank that there were 2 Venmo transfers. She said, “One was in the amount of $1,800. The other one was in the amount of $2,000. And that’s when I stopped dead in my tracks.”!
So next time you let someone who seems in distress use you phone, watch their every single move!!
