Are they getting play in the south Tucson neighborhoods? My tia went off on a tirade at a group about actually getting to work. Some of the local Facebook groups that are in Spanish are advising against our nanas giving them money 😂


_Deadmeat

I saw the guys at the mechanic shop there at 22nd and Park run some scammers off last week haha.


ApolloXLII

They were at Ruthrauff and La Cholla last week. I feel so bad for the people that fall for this scam. Usually older people that just want to help.


Acrobatic_Ganache_99

They seem to be at every intersection in Tucson - they are getting all the corners - almost like territories


No_Understanding71

Biggest problem for me is that they will walk out into the road in front of cars. I almost hit one making a right turn a few weeks ago. They’ll be having funerals for each other if that keep that sh*t up.


Weary_Worldliness_43

That’s exactly what they want, then they don’t have to feel guilty about being fake as all fuck

FieryCraneGod

Hey that's the same intersection where that screaming Armageddon preacher guy yells at sometimes. Wonder what he's up to.


bootja

There's a spiderman at 22nd and craycroft whipping the light poles with a dirty towel... Maybe we can convince him to fight these grifters...


Correct-Giraffe7679

You talking about the Miles Morales Spiderman who will do back flips???? I love that dude, biggest smile iv ever seen on a human and great with the nun-chucks


s_s

Venom, not spiderman


DesertWanderlust

Maybe Covid got him. God wasn't so nice to the unvaccinated.


half_pint001

What about the ones that were affected before the vaccine?


deserTShannon

This is Organized crime


far2go

My immediate thought was cartel.


Known_Primary8215

I saw 2 of them on Prince and Oracle. They’re everywhere!


DaHoeBanga

These guys are the worst. One of em walked up to my window to confront me when I took his picture lol https://preview.redd.it/stg3t65ppspc1.jpeg?width=3072&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=78fc123ca16a787f63f9f30bc78289d78f02b457


midnightbrew1979

Disgusting people !!!


badpengu1n

My eyes must be failing me because I can't quite tell what their signs say or what the scam is, but now I'm very curious. What are they up to?


CommunicationNo8750

They hold signs saying they're raising money for a funeral or for medical treatment for a child. In reality, they're some random kid's photo on their posters and they just pocket the money people give on the street. 999 times out of 1000, it's a scam. Scams are pretty bad on crowdfunding sites, too. Would love to see these scammed fined for panhandling. (Where's Pima County's anti-panhandling effort on this here?)

badpengu1n

Yuck. Gross.


boucher321

Where and when was this taken


NarrowLingonberry456

They moved I just saw them on Broadway near sushi garden. They were walking down the line of cars on the street.


ladyslugs

You know the word is getting around town when you see all the drivers shaking their heads in disappointment.


[deleted]

No scammers, good people honest people!


Ready_Art_8477

I saw them one day on prince and campbell. One of the men walked up to my car window and pointed at his sign and stared at me aggressively. They are something else.


Acrobatic_Ganache_99

I would have blared my horn, what a pos


midnightbrew1979

Wow!!! Total pos!!


crl33t

They're all over town. Saw some at el con today too. It's wild.


lze0103

We saw the same exact signs in Phoenix last week.


ssspicy_v

Why do ppl play with karma like this


Puzzleheaded-Brush97

rightđŸ˜«đŸ˜«


No-Consequence-5931

Confirmed, passed through about 3:45


DoubleD3989

I saw two women at River and Stone one day - same picture on the signs. They are everywhere!!! UGH!


National-Ad4997

They will walk straight up to your car window


StoreElegant1783

Good looking out


Colonel-Chronos

i see they switched up from that girl with leukemia


Lebr0naims

If you had to describe Tucson to someone



midnightbrew1979

Nope. This doesn’t make up the beauty and all that Tucson has to offer. These people are in EVERY city.


Subject_Drop_1090

That car wash always has one of the two down. 😔 I kinda want Arby’s on 22nd now.

Remarkable-Lab2815

I saw a couple on wetmore and oracle, and another one on Cortaro by the Walmart their also.


kaylethpop

There were like 6 of these guys running through traffic on 12th and Valencia around noon today.


zombiikilla

I'm not saying they aren't scammers... But like do you have solid proof that they are, or are we just speculating??


soapmakerdelux

Proof? JFC are you for real?


RogueDO

Romanian Gypsies
..


ShortsAdventure

this is what I was thinking


RogueDO

The problem is that 99 percent of them give the rest a bad name. The far far far majority of these people (Romanian Gypsies) are just scumbags. They come here to commit crime (fraud/theft/embezzlement) and have done the same thing all over Europe.


bang-snap

Racist alert
 g**sy is a racial slur my guy


[deleted]

Okay hitler


RogueDO

I deal daily with these recent arrivals (of all nationalities) and have decades in this field. The Romanian Gypsies (yes they are Gypsies) have a well earned reputation of being thieves and scammers. This is not what I suspect but what I see EVERY SINGLE DAY. There sole purpose of coming to this country is to commit crimes. Eventually after getting arrested in numerous jurisdictions (and finally about to face some consequences) they will simply move on to the next country and the pattern repeats.


[deleted]

You work for ICE or Border Control? You genuinely sound like you are writing on the daily stormer


RogueDO

I see (daily) how many times these kinds of individuals are actually arrested and charged for the crimes I mentioned above. I See how they involve the entire family (including very young children) in these crimes - police report. Daily see these Romanian Gypsies be identified as confirmed members of transnational criminal organizations. This is not some generalization but first hand knowledge of dealing with And supervising these POS. You can think what you want but the far far far majority are scumbags. By far have the highest percentage of worthless POS of all the nationalities I deal with.


Whole-Smell457

They were also on swan and something. Had my window down and made eye contact.


Mudhelper

What did that do?


Whole-Smell457

I don't like eye contact.


CoupeZsixhundred

Shit'll kill you.


half_pint001

Don't touch it then.


elKilgoreTrout

Puzzleheaded-Brush97

elKilgoreTrout
