Hoi zäme, i have been running into this one guy on the IC5 for months now (i’ve seen him around 10 times now and even twice this week) who’s trying to get people to give him money. he’s always wearing a blue/navy suit and a backpack to look more serious. His usual wording is always "Hey i‘ve lost my wallet/ my credit card is blocked, can you give me some money“ He might remember me by now as i take that train 4 times a week and have told him to leave me alone on multiple occasions but i’ve seen him ask other people for money almost every time i saw him. also, he’s either really good at hiding or always buys a train ticket as he’s never been thrown out of the train i think… look, i’m not trying to prevent people from asking for money, should they really need it as regularly donate to homeless people and as long as they‘re polite i don’t mind asking for money/ donations. however i have very strong, very negative feeling for people that are deliberately using the good intentions of people to get some money out of them/ to scam them just by pretending to be in need. is there a way to report this to the authorities ? i know exactly what he looks like, which could help in further investigations. some of you surely have seen him aswell so you might know who i’m talking about. (he’s normally on the IC5 between Olten and St Gallen) thanks in advance for your help and sorry for the grammar, the heat is really getting to me today… edit: he has asked again 2 minutes ago. will report to SBB police submitted by /u/FLXLGHT
