Very true. The question is though, will it stop her?

Maybe send her AND some of our other dozen or so “known characters” onto a Wrexham based reality show?
Possibly…
“I’m a Wrexlebrity – Get me a Fix” in the Erddig Jungle
or
“Wrexlebrity Big Bother” in the Y Wern flats.Hi All
I am glad I found this forum. I was approached by the lady on Bradley Road in Wrexham a few weeks ago. It was around 10.30pm and she first of all asked me if I spoke English. She then asked if I had my Mobile on me. I said No and was then asked for 60p. I again said No and she went over to another person who had just parked up a few feet away.I am glad I have found out that she was a con artist and feel awful that one day this could be a genuine need of help.

Reading the headlines about this woman approaching people in the town reminded me. Yesterday the same woman approached me and asked If I had a mobile phone she could borrow to make an urgent call.
I’ve seen many scams both here and abroad and can usually tell a fake request from a genuine one. I told her I didn’t have a phone, of course I do and watched her as she went around other people. Be warned she will do a Usain Bolt as soon as she gets hold of your phone.This kind of reminds me of the time, a few years ago, when a BMW pulled up by me when I was outside the TSB on Priory Street, with two dark gentlemen inside.
One rolled down the window and asked if I wanted to buy a watch for £50.
I declined of course, but it just goes to show that these people are out there.
