‘HARRY’ is at it again! This well-spoken (in English or Afrikaans) tallish, thin, sunken-cheeked coloured man is doing the rounds of the Eros and Ludwigsdorf areas with his touching tale of a child in serious distress with an asthma attack.
He needs money to buy the child a new inhaler. Then the child is turning blue and must be admitted to hospital and he needs money for the hospital card.The next night/early morning, the child has died and he needs money to transport the coffin to the undertakers.Meanwhile, his wife, who works at the airport, will be in early in the morning to repay the money.The performance is worthy of an Oscar and I, among others, was completely taken in.It is possible ‘Harry’ has a nice sense of irony.”I must learn to accept what my God sends me,” he sighs, as he accepts your donation.Conned Via e-mailThen the child is turning blue and must be admitted to hospital and he needs money for the hospital card.The next night/early morning, the child has died and he needs money to transport the coffin to the undertakers.Meanwhile, his wife, who works at the airport, will be in early in the morning to repay the money.The performance is worthy of an Oscar and I, among others, was completely taken in.It is possible ‘Harry’ has a nice sense of irony.”I must learn to accept what my God sends me,” he sighs, as he accepts your donation.Conned Via e-mail
