Please be wary of people asking to use your phone!!
I was approached at 12 PM at Wheeler today by a shorter Asian man who asked to borrow my phone. He seemed lost and first asked me what building this was, then told me his phone either died or he lost it (I don't remember which) and asked me if he could call his friend on my phone.
I told him I would dial his friend’s number on speakerphone, and his mood changed pretty abruptly. He said he thought his friend would be coming soon and walked quickly away from me.
He matches the description of the guy in this post who shares your phone location with a bunch of numbers, and I am pretty sure he walked away only because he realized he wouldn’t be able to physically hold my phone.
He was not wearing glasses when he talked to me, but he put on black-rimmed glasses after walking about 15 feet away from me at the end of our interaction. He is a soft-spoken, shorter Asian man (about 5’5”-5’7” is my best estimate) with a buzz cut. He was wearing a dark army green quilted jacket, tan khakis, and black athletic sneakers. I took a photo of him, but since he technically did nothing wrong, I don’t think I can post it here without getting the post removed. I'm posting this in the hopes that people will be more cautious about giving their phones to strangers, specifically this guy.
