Very quick to answer by phone and sounded helpful and friendly. Sent me a WhatsApp message with the full address nearer the time.
The girl: Looked late 20s/early 30s. Tattooed, curvy but attractive enough from what I could see fully clothed
The meet:
Buzzed me in and I found the flat OK. I get the impression with the handrails and pictures on the wall that it is sheltered accommodation
Let me into the flat and guided me to a room with an unmade bed. Mentioned it was a shared flat. Handed over the cash and she said she'd be back in a minute .
15 minutes later, I'm still in the room on my own and no sign of her, so I'd clearly been scammed. When I opened the bedr door, I could here male and female voices from another room.
I went into the hallway and prentended to call the police. After a few minutes, an older woman came out, asking why was thrre. I explained her daughter had effectively stolen £100 from my and she asked had I given tbe money to her for sex? I said Yes and she then accused me of being disgusting. Having now being royally wound up - especially when she said I'd have to take the issue up with her daughter who had now gone out to he Dad's! I said I wasn't leaving and she accused me of being aggressive and called for her sons. My immediate reaction was to get the hell out, so I slammed the door and legged it! Thankfully no one chased after me!
I have reported this scam incident to the police and as it took place in council accommodation, I'll be reporting it to the council's housing team on Monday. The police were excellent on the phone to be fair - I didn't have to wait long to speak to them and I said that I didn't expect to see the money but just wanted them to get their comeuppance. They encouraged me to report it to the council's housing team.
