" WARNING OF A CON-MAN IN THE Southern Suburbs (Bishopscourt Village) A con-artist attempting to solicit funds from Cape Times subscribers. Please read the note below which was sent through by a resident of Bishopscourt Village.
" Earlier this evening (about 5.30pm) a young chap rang our doorbell and asked if this was "Capricorn Consulting", which is the name used on our subscription to the Cape Times. When I said yes, he told me that he was collecting money for his father (Peter) who delivers the Cape Times to us, since his father had had a slight accident with his bicycle and he needed money to repair his bike. I happen to know that Peter does gardening work for a nearby neighbour so, not sure if it was a con or not, I told him I would contact her and channel any donations via her. Needless to say she phoned Peter and he hasn't had an accident but someone from Kirstenbosch area had phoned him this morning to check the same thing with him. Just after speaking to Peter the conman rang her doorbell too! I have already e-mailed the Cape Times and asked them to alert readers, as well as expressing concern about the distribution list falling into the wrong hands." -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "The Observatory Neighbourhood watch" group.
