On mobile so it is difficult to link back to the post from awhile ago, but this apparently a scam.
So be aware.

Any proof to why it might be a scam?
There's discussion about it

Someone posted about them recently

There's a video of one of them running away after being filmed.

Thanks for the sources.
Seems legit. One of them came to me asking for money couple months back in yorklanes. Next time I'll be sure to inform campus security!
