Police urge wariness of ‘Tactical Cabshare’ scam

By the Still Don’t Know Yet manager

The Metropolitan Police’s specialist anti-fraud division are warning Kenna League managers attending tomorrow’s auction to be aware of a new scam being pushed by notorious criminal figure.

Shortly after the Jean-Alain Boumsong Euros auction in June the evil mastermind known as the Tactical Brambler was seen trying to take advantage of a tired and emotional league member.

Approaching one manager – who was still mentally disorientated after mistakenly thinking Marcus Rashford and Karl Lafferty might make a tournament winning strike partnership – he suggested a Tactical Cabshare.

“We live close together, let’s share a cab home,” ventured the Brambler.

“Don’t you live in Croydon?” the unwitting manager replied, suddenly realising the Brambler’s decision to buy auction stragglers a final round of shots was merely a gambit to confuse them and save on travel money.

“I live in Southfields.”

“That’s close to Croydon.”

“Neither geographically or spiritually is Southfields close to Croydon,” the manager replied.

The Brambler pushed the point a further five times before the manager escaped onto a night bus.

League members are warned to watch out for scams such as these lest they end up abandoned outside the Whitgift Shopping Centre in the early hours of the morning while the Tactical Brambler pockets the change from a greatly reduced cab fare home.
