Stay Alert: The We R Blighty Scammers Targeting Marathon Crowds

As marathon season heats up, it’s essential to stay vigilant against potential scams, particularly from groups like We R Blighty, who are known to exploit large crowds for their gain.

Law enforcement, including the MET police, is increasingly aware of the tactics used by these opportunistic individuals. Recent efforts have significantly improved their ability to crack down on the deceptive practices of so-called “chuggers”—those who approach event attendees for donations under misleading pretenses.

However, the issue remains that while awareness is growing, many individuals are still prone to falling victim to these scams. Each report of suspicious activity makes it harder for these scammers to operate, but the challenge lies in educating the public and ensuring that everyone can recognize these fraudulent behaviors.
