A “black” guy perhaps?? That said, ONLY for the purpose of identification. There IS a black guy that sells “Real Change” newspapers at Jeff Sq who appears to be an illegitimate vendor. I asked him where his Real Change badge is (required) and he replied that he had “lost” it. Yeah – right…
Many of the illegitimate vendors will buy OLD papers from legitimate vendors or source them out of dumpsters.
And when YOU attempt to purchase one, they will often tell you that the paper is “their last paper” in an attempt to con you out of a dollar. REAL vendors pay .35 cents (for legitimate papers) and keep the rest.
ONLY buy Real Change papers from a LEGITIMATE RC VENDOR. They have official RC identification.
I have a very close friend who sells LEGITIMATE RC papers and he has told me all the scams,
