Solicitor asking to us to buy cookies at Zachry

Post Body

Just got approached by a woman with glasses claiming she needs money for her tuition. She had a notecard with Venmo and payment methods along with cookies in a plastic baggie. I immediately recognized the scam and said I’m not interested. My friend gives her the benefit of the doubt and starts talking to her. Basically he says that he would like to help if it’s through the university. I tell him it’s a scam and she gets immediately upset and tells me “Don’t say that! Don’t say when you don’t know the full story”. I then told her to stop bothering us as we are trying to study. She leaves and tries her luck with other students to no avail. Still annoyed that I had to deal with this while we are doing homework. Does anyone have more background on these people?

They wanted $10 for 3 cookies? That’s fucked up.

I remember buying 2 chocolate chip oatmeal cookies for $2 from some students trying to fund their club at the MSC bus stop area last year. Hopefully that wasn’t a scam but the cookies were good.

edit: Still have the receipt from Venmo too.
