Next Door the Website a Busker and Publix

 Last Sunday I went to Publix across the street from the University of Miami and there was a younger looking fellow that was playing sort of classical music at the entrance to the parking lot. Along with the boom box amp, there was a request for donations.

As a long time Miami resident, panhandling kind of goes with the territory.  Usually, it's just a request for any level of support greatly appreciated.  And then there's the exceptional panhandlers who sell fruits and vegetables, cold water, chewing gum, putting lessons?, and in this case electronic violin selections. Just about every intersection has these folks dodging traffic while trying to supplement their income.

I do my best to ignore these folks that just have the cardboard signs. I've bought chicle, water, and limes, and if I still played golf I might have asked the guy in the golf shirt for a tip.

The guy with the violin got called out Next Door like he was some kind of a fraud. 

Something just didn't seem right, and I asked him for his name and number.

Thank you for the info, Felix.

I appreciate it. I also saw him starting to play, and planned to go chat with him, and give him some money. But by the time I came out from Publix (I wasn’t there long at all), he was packing up - rather hurriedly. Not sure why.

According to Texas and Orlando reports and Felix it's just another scam.

Felix this is Miami, keep your wallet in your pocket if it doesn't seem right.
