“Dear PoPville,

On Monday my wife just encountered a scammer at 21st and P St NW. He was a white male with brown short hair and a trimmed beard wearing a black jacket and baggy jeans. He was well spoken and claimed to be locked out of an AirBnB and needed “cash to call and Uber.” Be on the lookout! Doug the Scammer’s scam is catching on.”
