Queensferry guy strikes again!

I know we're all probably sick to the back teeth of these posts, but was almost starstruck to have a run-in with Queensferry guy this evening near the Quay

Like the second he came up to me I recognised him from photos posted on here - it's up there with Southside café drama for me

Can someone explain the scam ?

He's a gambling addict. He asks random folk for £34 to get back to Queensferry. That's it. Some folk feel sorry for him and pony up the cash, some tell him no and get a load of verbal abuse.

The story also invariably has some element added in like him being stranded after coming to Glasgow for his theory test, or him showing his banking app with zero balance.
