Mom Warns of Dangerous \u2018Abandoned Stroller\u2019 Scam<\/p>\n
A viral warning from mom and real estate agent Nancy Walsh has sparked serious concern after she spotted<\/p>\n
an abandoned stroller on a remote country road. With no one around, the eerie sight prompted her to<\/p>\n
post on Facebook: \u201cIf you see a stroller, car seat, or baby item alone in the middle of nowhere, don\u2019t get out.\u201d<\/p>\n
Her post, shared over 23,000 times, included photos of the stroller beside a tree-lined road, lit only by her headlights.<\/p>\n
Many commenters recognized it as a common scam tactic \u2014 designed to lure caring drivers <\/p>\n
out of their vehicles, only to ambush them with theft, carjacking, or worse.<\/p>\n
\u201cCall 911. Stay in your car. Don\u2019t approach,\u201d one user advised. Others shared similar warnings,<\/p>\n
noting fake cries for help or staged medical emergencies used to trick Good Samaritans.<\/p>\n
Though some said baby gear is sometimes left out for donation, most agreed it\u2019s not worth the risk.<\/p>\n
One woman revealed police warned her about similar setups involving people lying roadside.<\/p>\n
Walsh\u2019s message is clear: help when you can, but protect yourself. Let authorities handle <\/p>\n
suspicious situations. In today\u2019s world, even kindness requires caution.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
