HEADS UP TO EVERYONE: There is a scammer in the Otakon facebook group. He's made multiple conflicting comments claiming to be in England, then like 2 hours later said he was about to drive to Cumberland MD. First he said he was from England, then he said he was temporarily living there, while his profile says he lives in state.

He has been pretending he doesn't understand American currency, and attempting to guilt access to people's hotel rooms. He has private messaged openly gay men in the group trying to flirt his way into their rooms, and now he is claiming that he has decided not to attend the con and wants to "sell his badge". DO NOT GIVE HIM MONEY, DO NOT ALLOW HIM IN YOUR ROOM. He is falsely claiming to be autistic for sympathy, and has claimed he cut himself because someone called him out for being a scammer.

PLEASE BE SAFE AT THE CON AND DON'T FALL FOR ANY SCAMS LIKE THIS. Do not allow strangers to stay in your room last minute. Do not buy badges for cash from people- they may rob you and take the cash and ditch.
