Apparently he’s getting famous in br after wafb did news story on the facebook group that tracks where he is. He dresses in decent casual clothes and tells people hes in medical sales and stranded without wallet.

The facebook group has nearly 6000 people.

Anyone have a run in with this dude?

The fb group is pretty funny. They give that guy a hard time now with his hustle.

I wonder if a reporter could shadow him in a day of his hustle?

Then put updates on a Facebook page similar to a Facebook tracker.

I had a run-in with him once. Thanks to the OT, I knew better. But that FB group has gotten out of hand. I dont think they'll be happy until hes strung up from the Bluebonnet overpass

Ran into him twice and turned him down both times. He likes using the line about being in the medical field.

I continue to see him several times a week at the Circle K Airline/Coursey and always dressed nice and doesn't look the roll.

If he can dress nicely and convince people to part with their money he can get a sales job.

He flagged me down last week in the Coursey Home Depot parking lot. He was driving a blue 2 door mustang and as I was pulling out I see this arm out the window waving me down like it was someone I knew. When I got next to him and rolled my window down I realized it was him. As he started his spill I said “hey you are fb famous” , he gave me a F you look and hauled arse

They had about 1900 before WBRZ did the story. Some good laughs there for sure.

I requested to join since it's a private group but got denied.

He hit me up at Academy on Siegen one time. I wasn't going to give him money but his pitch was halfass believable. His shoes gave his scam away. A med sales guy wouldn't be wearing 30 dollar shoes.

He hit a buddy of mine up at our tailgate years ago at the St Pats Day parade in BR. My buddy was digging in his wallet and the guy was standing there with his hand out when I recognized him. I said "you are the guy I read about on TigerDroppings" as this was before the WBRZ story. He got this super pissed off look and turned around and stormed off. We all got a big laugh at my buddy who almost got scammed.

There are some middle age white women in the Facebook group that wake up each day and spend their lives worried about this idiot.
