Title: Doorstep collectors
Post by: Spartacus on April 14, 2017, 16:12.
Had a guy knock on my door last week holding a clipboard and purporting to be collecting for handicapped and underprivileged children he showed me some spurious looking identification , I then asked him to wait a moment whilst I went inside (he assumed it was to get some money) when I re-appeared with my camera and pointed it at him he did the best impression of Usain Bolt I have ever seen.
The camera test never fails !!!!!!

It's not our old friend again who has appeared on many links on here most recently scam man in Puerto Marino . Sounds like if it is he has a new con maybe everyone knows the I'm a neighbour who is locked out and needs cash for a locksmith scam he has been running for years . If he knocks on my door again I will keep my promise to him and give him a doughboy

It's a different guy Spurs he's been at it for years, I saw him doing the rounds today, he stays away from our house.
He has a Micky Mouse "certification" that my grandson could knock up on his lap top in five minutes, he's full of pleasantries and then he goes in for the kill!!
He produces a sheet showing that Klaus who's from Germany has donated €50, Peter from Norway €40, Elspeth from Sweeden €60......so basically Mr Englander don't be tightfisted, dig deep.....I guess some folk fly the flag and do their bit.
He's lost a bit of weight since I last saw him, bald on top with a goatee, wears spectacles

Regards all
