A post to Leaside Community tells of an incident Sunday about 12:30 p.m. on Divadale Rd. when a man walking his dog was hailed by a man and woman in a car trying to sell him gold. Yes, it is almost laughable that anyone would fall for such a transparent confidence trick. Of course, the man didn’t His wife says in her post that the couple asked if they could sell him some gold. They showed the man what appeared to be cheap costume jewellery. When he said he didn’t have any money (polite) they offered to drive him home so that he could get some. He refused again and they drove off. But he took the license (CENT 945) and reported it to police. The two are said to be in their late 20s or early 30s with black hair. Good advice is offered to warn unsuspecting or perhaps elderly friends and relatives.
