🚨BORO PARK / FLATBUSH WARNING: A group is posing as a frum Jewish family and collecting money outside local shuls and stores, where unsuspecting people have given them thousands of dollars. The individuals are NOT Jewish (they are "Gypsies"), despite dressing as frum women and children, and the collection is a scam. A young boy is even carrying a credit card swiper to appear like a typical tzedakah collector. Residents are urged to verify collectors before giving money.
