I was asked by a panicked man for money to get home to Borehamwood a couple of weeks ago at around 0530hrs on Wells Terrace. I didn't think much of it but walked with him to BTP at FP and then to station staff. He was a little scruffily dressed but explained he had been mugged and worked for the Samaritans as a psychotherapist, and certainly gave an appearance of having been roughed up.
The same man approached me on Charteris Road this evening at about 2200hrs but as soon as he realised we had met before quite literally ran away. He will ask for you to lend him money to get home. He is well-spoken, about 55 years, white ethnicity, 160-170cm tall and quite earnest in his pitch. He wears thick-rimmed glasses and could pass himself off as professionally educated.
Just a warning to you all.
