They usually rent. Men drive trucks. Usually claim their in "construction" like asphalt, roofing...as one stated above, they claim they can do bodywork on your vehicles. Cash only.
Women wear long skirts. Love to take taxi's. Shop at Nordstroms. Kids are always claimed to be "home schooled".
They love the get togethers and will usually greet each other saying "ompah" (don't know the correct spelling). Lots of food is served.

Their gatherings usally happen in the late hours. The men usually hudle separatetly from the women.
When in our neighborhood, one of the teen boys asked if he could earn some money raking up the leaves in my yard.
I gave him $15. He later showed up with his two younger brothers and expected each of them to be paid $15. huh?
Never let them rake the leaves again.
The men and young boys are real talkers...come off as articulate and polite and yes they work in pairs...if one is at your front door distracting you, the other is at the back door.
I spotted their MO early on and luckily never got taken for anything.

They usually have East Coast/Boston accents and tend to be pushy in getting your attention. The older men usually dress in nicer clothes than we do here. The women wear long dresses and have their hair in buns. Always in groups and have a bunch of kids with them to create distractions.
Gypsy lore has it that at the time of the crucifixton a fourth nail was to be driven into Jesus heart. A Gypsy supossedly stole it and they were given the right to steal because of this. If you understand Christian beliefs, then anyone who would have interfered with the fulfilment of Jesus' death and resurrection is aligned with Satan.

This is so true. Women do wear nice clothes and wear expensive perfumes, but this is to lure men and engage in prostitution.

Once you interact with Gypsies, it is very easy to spot them. I live in Walnut and have family in West Covina, but in the past 8 years have not seen a single one.

I learned the word from them "shakare" (don't know if spelled right), but it means "go home." This family had a bunch of kids and the oldest one, Kathy (the nice one who used to confide in me) used to scream this at her siblings when they tried to tap into her conversation.

Her Dad always had meetings in the evening and the young girls' fate were discussed. They are scammers and taught and encouraged to do so at a very early age. What a shame.

I was born in the wagon of a travellin show
My mama used to dance for the money theyd throw
Papa would do whatever he could
Preach a little gospel, sell a couple bottles of doctor good
Gypsys, tramps, and thieves
Wed hear it from the people of the town
Theyd call us gypsys, tramps, and thieves
But every night all the men would come around
And lay their money down
Picked up a boy just south of mobile
Gave him a ride, filled him with a hot meal
I was sixteen, he was twenty-one
Rode with us to memphis
And papa woulda shot him if he knew what hed done
I never had schoolin but he taught me well
With his smooth southern style
Three months later Im a gal in trouble
And I havent seen him for a while, uh-huh
I havent seen him for a while, uh-huh

I want to them see them try and pull that s#$# over at my house well I'm there , will see what kind of consequenses there will be > I sure ain't stupid to fall any scams , I dont trust anyone . I am also not trying to say that the victims that this has happen to are stupid , just careless . That is why day in and day out I preach to all my family members to be alert at all times of what is going on , from the smallest to the oldest overand over . Lockthe doors dont let know one in ,hat you dont know ,ont open the door for no one that you dont know. These people sound like some real loosers , evnetually tere day will come and they will have to accept and be responsible for there actions.
