Man Says He Handed Phone to Needy Little Boy, Soon Realized the Kid Hustled Him for $5,000
Imagine for a moment that you were walking down the street when a child who appeared to be in trouble stopped you and asked to use your phone to text their parents. What would you do in that situation?
Many of us might feel sad and sympathize with the child and give him the phone to either text or call his parents. After all, it is just a child in need, what danger could he possibly pose?
Unfortunately, one Milwaukee man discovered the hard way that even children who appear to be needy can sometimes actually have nefarious intentions behind their actions.
According to local outlet WISN, Anyon Rettinger of Milwaukee was working on his car in his driveway when a boy about 12 years old approached him and asked if he could use Rettinger’s phone.
