A persistent scammer named Fofana Mbemba has been prowling the self-service parking lots along the Embarcadero, pretending to be a parking attendant.
He takes money – often from tourists – and hands them a fake tag.
When they return, there’s a parking ticket on the windshield.
“The guy had blue pants and a white shirt with an insignia on it,” said former Mayor Art Agnos, one of the victims. “He says, ‘That will be $10, sir,’ and when I come back, there’s another attendant putting a ticket on my car.
Mbemba was arrested Monday for the hustle, but this isn’t the first time. Mbemba has been arrested at least 14 times for similar crimes and has been convicted and sent to state prison, yet repeatedly has returned to the waterfront to engage in more scams.

Well, you can understand the ex mayor of San Francisco being taken. But can’t this guy get a new gig or location?
