Is this a scam

Many thanks for replies, it was a guy by the name of Lewis Murray or "McCarty" from Sheriff street in Dublin and his brother, teenagers with caps.

Many thanks for the replies folks, I have just been to the garda station and the gardai there seems pretty confident that they would be able to catch them and take the scooter off from them as there is cctv in that area of Ranelagh where I met them so they could be able to identify them and off the phone number I gave to the Gardai from which I have been called.

You havent been in my shoes to experience it and yet you are arrogant enough to assume you know everything, enough said from my side. I will just tell you that those who believe they know everything actually know nothing.

I dont care whether you believe my story or not or you have vested interest in the area of Coolock, St. Brendans Terrace and just trying to shut me down, maybe you are trying to sell a house there or have a business and you wouldnt want potential customers to hear about drug dealings in the area and teenagers running amock as that would chase away customers or your cousins trying to sell a house or running a business there but the simple matter of fact is that there and all over the country are teenage criminals stealing peoples bikes, scooters, dealing drugs, involved in financial frauds as fake banking apps are a serious matter as it involves using the names and brands of highly trusted financial institutions to commit their crimes but what else is to expect as they are not being punished and are on their way to a prosperous criminal careers and Garda either doesnt care, are helpless and they dont want to admit that they are helpless as they have to keep that air of authority and power about them, the whole state is simply overran with crime and something needs to be changed. Poor Irish investigative journalist Veronica Guerin gave her life to solve the crime here in the 90s but nothing has changed, it still keeps on going instead of being nipped in the bud.

I have no problem with disbanding the Gards as they are completely useless and state of the matter officially being as each man to himself as pretty much that is the fact although not officialy and we are taxed for services that are non existent.

Its like I am on American wild frontier but nobody wants to say so.

I gave 8 years of my life and work to this country which is fallling apart and I have been attacked and decieved but good luck with running the economy this way as there is a lot of shite shoved under the rug just to keep the money going but the rug is full and shite is about to burst all over the country, the government, the Gards and ordinary folks who just want to get by in life unfortunately as innocent are almost always the one who bear the brunt.

This is the scooter that was stolen from me through fraud involving fake An Post banking app by "Lewis Murray" and "Lewis McCarty"

There is an expression from the 2. world war related to that "First they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out—
     Because I was not a socialist.

Then they came for the trade unionists, and I did not speak out—
     Because I was not a trade unionist.

Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—
     Because I was not a Jew.

Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me"

Perfectly describes this society.
