He's Back...
The "deaf" guy that hands out sign language cards approached me in Mills LC on Monday. I knew who he was, so I looked a him for a second and ignored him (I was packing up).

I'm going to assume it's some guy who is deaf, who hands people "cards" and expects money in return?

Yeah, its that guy.

New, gullible users: He's older, and missing a few teeth. He hands you a card that explains he is deaf and needs money. The card has sign language letter on it. I think its a scam.

I'd go right to library staff and let them know so they can call security... or do it yourself!!

I saw him in Thode a week or two ago.

When he took the card back and started walking away, I was like "Wait!" and hoped for an impulsive turnaround, but I was disappointed. Also kind of felt like an *******.

He's probably trained himself not to do that, but I fully encourage others to try it and catch him using similar methods. If you're feeling really ballsy, sneak around behind him and start speaking loudly about how he's scamming people.
