This person really needs a megathread at this point

She has always been aggressive. I think she's been arrested a fair amount of times.

I just give her a firm stare and slightly shake my head no. That’s all the interaction it takes.

She was all over 18th st on Sunday. Saw her out the window scooting up and down the strip working folks.

She was snippy with me too on 14th the other day. I think once it clicks that you know who she is she basically realizes you’re a threat to her scamming someone who doesn’t know.

Sorry to hear. Always bee aggressive. That is assault and you should file a charge.

I saw her the other day and something along the lines of “I’m really sorry but I just had some money troubles and I really don’t have anything to spare” before she even made the ask - worked on getting her to back off. Not sure if it will work for everyone but worth a shot

Please file an assault complaint while restaurant and retail cameras haven't written over their records. This person doesn't have a problem being aggressive and they're probably going to want to get as much money in before winter sets in and people are more focused on getting out of the weather.

They always drop charges. Falsely collecting for a charity is already a crime so I don't get why authorities don't tack on wire fraud given an app is used but, that aside, letting them go repeatedly is why the scammer continues to press on and escalate. This person is a public safety concern and the law is simply not applied to them.

It would be nice if everyone would stop giving SissyGrace money altogether. They are enabling this continuous harassment of the public and it's a real shame this is being tolerated at all.

Notice the neighborhoods that have sightings, bet that mess wouldn't fly in Congress Heights or Anacostia.

I saw her scamming some people in line at Trade one night as we joined the line behind them, she got VERY upset when I told her would be victims she was a scammer and to not give her any $$. Luckily i was with a big group so she scooted off instead of trying anything.

"No" being a complete sentence in this case is also a good alternative, as saying anything more than that just invites conversation or gives them the opportunity for rebuttal.

I'm not comfortable contacting police, esp since I was able to very easily shake them off and keep moving; however, I am down there very often and, should it happen again, I will contact the authorities

I’ve been seeing her almost every day in Cleveland park zooming down Connecticut on that stupid scooter

She’s been hanging around Cleveland and Woodley park lately. I hate being nervous to walk now

You literally have to tell her to fuck off - even in Richmond it was insane

What does she do? It seems like her main source of income is from haggling people for money. Surely there is no way there’s a large group of people donating to her with the reputation she has in this thread alone.

Once in the summer of 2020 I’d had enough of her when I was sitting by the White House and watched her go from person to person, so I started shouting every time that she’s a scammer, where to see a video of her trying to assault a congresswoman, etc. She got a bit more timid but kept going, but eventually started saying I was harassing her and going to talk to a cop parked nearby. Idk man it just enraged me, and there were cops right there so I felt safe to call her out. But she is known for assaulting people.

But also oddly enough every time I’ve encountered her since, I’ll politely and firmly say “I know what you’re about, no thank you,” and she’ll scooter past me, do a u-turn, and then try to talk to me again. It’s really weird.

I would encourage you to think about contacting the police not as a recourse for what happened to you but to at least try to prevent them from doing the same thing to someone in the future who will not be able to physically or mentally/emotionally handle the situation in the same way you did.

That was my mindset after I was the victim of a misdemeanor sexual assault by a stranger. I suffered no physical injury due to what I was wearing. And I had been assaulted before, so my immediate and enduring emotional response is "fucking pissed" which is an emotion I'm already very familiar with and am good at channeling into productive actions. But what he did to me easily could be the thing that makes another young woman say fuck it and leave the city altogether or he could have escalated and harmed one of the many homeless women on the street in that area, so I called 911 thinking about them, I gave my statement (multiple times) thinking about them, I testified at his trial thinking about them, and I gave a victim impact statement asking for mandatory drug/alcohol and sexual conduct counseling as his "punishment" because I actually wanted him to never do it again, not to be sent to jail for having done it to me. It's ultimately your decision, but I wanted to share my experience with you in case it's helpful.

Is it rude to pretend to be deaf? In all seriousness. Don’t want to offend, but there has to be a full zero tolerance/shut down any engagement way to respond…

Yes! Her tactic is to corner you on her scooter and try and prevent you from getting past. Literally insane

Surely somebody has beaten her ass at some point for getting aggressive like this.

Everybody should carry a job application around the city and give it to her when she tries her scam.

WhtvrCms2Mnd t1_ixej3dp wrote

Yeah. I’ve got some PTSD issues and really shut down when people are aggressive with me. I do know some ASL (still learning) and would love to use it to disengage from random street confrontations (but I appreciate that it would just be/come across disrespectful). I just imagine if some large person was aggressive with me/tried to grab at, corner or chase me down I’d have a melt down real quick.

The percentage of people in DC who read Reddit, and then follow this subreddit are very s=very small - also you have to think that there are a lot of tourists that would never have any idea who this person is.

Plus - it must work because they keep doing it.

Just waiting for that bitch to touch me. She’s going to get knocked off that Segway quicker than she can realize what’s happening.

There are posts all over r/rva of her running people over with her scooter (or at least attempting to)

I saw her stop a woman on Connecticut last week. She asked the woman to pick a number between 1-3 and then started pulling things out of her bag. I started yelling “she is a scammer “. “ she’s going to scam you”. Another guy walking by said yeah she tries that all the time. The lady left and said thanks. If you make it impossible for her to make money hopefully she will go away eventually

I hate him and he needs to be charged for what he does. It’s wild that he is so famous for being a piece of shit and yet he’s still out there trying this. I don’t know the answer but I want him shut down asap.

Also friendly reminder sissy is not a trans woman. It’s a man with a sissy fetish. He is still a man just likes dressing up like a sissy gay fairy

Sorry that happened OP - I have seen her behave in a similar way on 14th. Best way to deal with her is to act crazier and louder. She absolutely sucks

wordsmith217 t1_ixf9ba2 wrote

Of course it’s not going to actually make them stop scamming. They’re scammers; it’s what they do. Shaming them, if not effective, is at least a comedic attempt at enforcing the social norm of not bothering random people for profit. Lighten up.
