I met him today. Same story as always. He asked me for some directions and then the same story of studying and loosing his bag and passport. Then the same behaviour. Sms+ask for money.

Hi everyone,
We met him at Barcelona, he told us as you that he tried to get help every where but noone wanted to help him.
I let him call his mom write an email to his mom with my telephon ( I was scared that he run away with my téléphone :/ ).
He was very polite but was too much focused on money. I told him that I haven’t cash and not my card. He told me that I can try with my phone to get cash ( thanks god it didn’t work).
Then he let us go.
To help other person :
He had a brown skin, he had a good english, very polite, no glasses, brown hair, maybe 1,75m.

Just met him, same . No money given. Just sent an email and left him waiting there for me to come back with money. Went to market and googled the email address and found this thread, confirming my thoughts.
"Irish" guy, lacking several front teeth and smelling like .

Same here for me today.
I listened and tried to help until he started to ask for $10-20 to make a call.
Same story about his bag being stolen and that it was his first day. I only have data on my phone so I could only help him send an email to his “mom” who works at the hospital in Ireland.
He said he tried the police station, cafes and hotels to help but they don’t speak English or didnt help him.
After like 10mins, he asked for money for a phone call. I dont have cash and told him we can go find someone with a phone together, but he didn’t want to do that. He right away pointed out where the atm was and kept pushing me to go get money out. I told him no, I’m not getting money out, but I’ll go with you to the hotel across the street for help. He kept asking until he gave up, said “ you” and walked away.

same thing happened to me, the guy approached me at 3am at night on the 17.11.23 and asked to write an email to his mom with this email address: drsoconnor@eircom.net. he said he is from ireland and he was working but his stuff got stolen. he wanted money for a hotel but for every solution he had an excuse saying he only needed like 15€. i didn't give him the money and he called me a slut and left. this was at the bus stop gran via - muntaner near the university.

I encountered the aforementioned scammer in Gran Vía in Barcelona. Same story as previous comments

Acabo de tener un encuentro con este personaje, en Barcelona, hoy 12 de septiembre de 2023 por la noche. Calle Balmes esquina con Provença. Le he enviado el e-mail que me pedía (no el SMS), con cuidado de que el móvil no saliera de mis manos, y le he dado unas monedas (menos de 2 €). Pero, cuando le he dicho que no tenía más efectivo y me ha pedido que sacara del cajero automático para "prestarle", ya me ha parecido demasiado sospechoso. Sobre todo, por su insistencia y su rechazo a aceptar otro tipo de ayuda. Y la cosa ha acabado con él insultándome mientras yo me alejaba.

LOL I feel like an . He’s doing the same screen in Barcelona Catalunya right now. Fell for it, took out 20€ for him. He seemed so convincing, it’s sad. Great actor I guess. Whatever he’s doing with the money - good for him I guess. He will get his karma, cause what the hell does he do with 20€ honestly, nothing. His story was confusing but he seemed convincing enough, so I’m the one here.

Me pasó lo mismo hoy 3 de Junio, zona Eixample. Entre 20 y 30 minutos hablando. Misma historia. No aceptaba ninguna ayuda que no sea la de ir a sacar dinero del banco.
Mandé el mail a su madre, que espero no tenga repercusiones.
La verdad es que hay partes en su historia que no cierran del todo, pero en el momento es difícil verlo. Primero te dice que nadie le ayudó porque nadie habla inglés y luego cuando le dices que le acompañas a la policía y le haces de traductor te dice que no, que ya les ha hablado y que entienden inglés pero que no han querido ayudarle.
Primero quería que googlee la dirección de los apartamentos de la Pompeu, luego cuando lo busqué en internet ya no le interesaba saberlo. Habla muy rápido y te tira mucha historia con mucha info que confunde y nunca va al grano.
Segundo quiso que llame o mande mail a su madre. Que no tiene whatsup. Le ofreces entrar en su insta/mail/Facebook para que se comunique con un amigo y te saca la misma frase "solo quiero dinero para llamar a mi madre".
Insiste bastante con lo del dinero hasta que dices que no y se enoja, te insulta a gritos y se va.

Same history. I let him to write an email to his mother (drsoconnor ad eircom) and made shure that I saw that he was asking her to send hum 1500€ and used it when I hace deny any cash. Good to know for the next time.
