A university student has issued a warning after being targeted by a "scammer" while walking alone on campus.
The University of Liverpool student was walking through campus between lectures on Wednesday, when they were approached by a woman holding a clipboard. She cut the student off while speaking about deafness, and every time the student tried to walk away she would start "making sounds".
The student then signed what they thought was a petition before being asked to hand over money, to the point where they "felt backed into a corner". The student took to Reddit after the ordeal to ask for advice.
