Approached in Tesco's Car Park
Just a warning to everyone, I was approached in tesco's car park yesterday evening by a man of West African origin who was asking for money for his partner who was wanting to buy a train ticket at Hertford East Station. This was in-fact a fictitious story and a Tescos member of staff came out to warn the guy off as a number of customers had complained. I saw the guy run-off in the opposite direction from Hertford East. So keep your wits about you folks.

Thank you Azza. I too have seen this man about Tescos and the Hertford East area as I buy my lunch in there most days. I will be on the lookout and warn off other customers and call the police if I think they'd get here in time! Then again I'd be better off just warning off the customers and telling Tescos I think!!!

This is an old scam and I'm surprised to see it surface again. Thanks for making everyone aware....

The Police had not been made aware of this scam. I will submit intelligence regarding this. Thank you
