At 3pm 10/8/2013, I was approached by an African American man (30-40’s) at my University District home. He introduced himself as “Patrick Lewis”, as a janitor that works at UW: Seattle who locked him and his boyfriend out of their apartment. He needed $3 and then $13.
Many people have posted about this guy so I won’t bother explaining everything about him.
The same scam to others:

A quick Google will show you his scams throughout the last 6+ years.
