Yup, she is GOOD at this. Mind you, she's had years of practise! She's probably loaded, frankly. And yes, she does look the part. Sober, smiley, apparently embarrassed... Of course you think you might be being scammed, you also think, 'what if she's in trouble...' and that little bit of doubt and human kindness is exactly what she exploits.

It depends what your aim is.


Taking a photograph will be good evidence of that person's having been on your doorstep, and might also be useful to the police in making an identification.


But if it's a prosecution that's wanted, it could well be that the evidence of more than one victim is needed. If that were the case, publishing a photograph here would probably scupper the value of any other person's subsequent assertion that they'd been done by the same perpetrator. It is not even certain that there is just one.


It would also be the case that any photograph published here would most probably amount to a serious defamation. Defending any libel action can be very expensive and stressful, and not necessarily successful.


And then there's the possibility of actual harm done to the person by the publication. You might want to argue that, however it pans out, it's all they deserve. You might still find it regrettable if it turned out that you'd made a mistake about their honesty.

if this is the same woman who used to pretend to get locked of of her house(''round the corner'') and needing to pay a locksmith before he could access her house, she hit nutbrook street two years ago and was prosecuted for fraud as a result. Seems she's back with a different tale. What a cheek. Tell the police neighbourhood team she's back- they know where she lives.

Is...


Is this the same woman asking for money for her child's sponsorship form? Identity sounds the same. She's not aggressive however she is quite persistent in her conviction. Sometimes she has children with her.... The school sponsorship form was for a local primary so I gave them a call and they were aware of her activities but said she wasn't a parent and they didn't know who she was. (Mrs W**F gave her the "cold jug" as it were at the door so she never came back here funnily enough)


A neighbor also got an early morning knock at the door (6.30am) asking for ?50, she was crying, saying she couldn't heat the house because her electricity meter had run out and her baby was hungry and cold.


Another sucked in punter sadly....?

What would your advice be, Judge woof? Perhaps she could be locked up and the key thrown away? Perhaps hanging's too good for her? Would you say it's indicative of the broken society we live in?

Yeah...



I think I have an idea who this might be (indirectly)


She treats it as her "job" I'm told



(and yes, drugs are the main driving force)



It's not for me to judge her, plus I don't go in for silly knee jerk justice


But she is taking money by deception

This lady knocked on my door today, 24 June 2010. Mcdowall rd se5.

She is black, tall, slim and smart. She was very embarassed to be disturbing you, almost crying and in need of money for the electric meter. She said her name was Lisa and she lived a few doors down across the rd. She was totally believable and asked for ?22. Lots of eye contact and apologetic.

A great performance, a pro con artist.


She will get caught one day.

    • Since you’re clearly not experiencing what we are I’m not sure I agree with any of your points. I also asked for anyone else having a similar problem… it’s absolutely fine if you’re not but I’d appreciate less of the “go live your life”. There is no need to comment with that tone, it doesn’t provide us with any help for the matter. Nor is it polite. We’re a very kind family simply not wanting damage and don’t find the actions necessary. It’s been the same driver/delivery for a while and this never used to happen. I wouldn’t post this on the forum if it wasn’t getting so frustrating. Again, the kids and myself have kindly asked for this to stop a few times with no success. We all work hard for our living and would never want (nor are we trying) to rid someone of their livelihood. But similarly, I don’t find it fair. Please feel free to PM me if anyone has any advise or shares the same.  
    • And now we have the worst labour government in many many decades who, by moving to your position on the right, are ushering in a far right reform government. Well done you.
    • You implied he did a good job in your first paragraph when you said you would have hated to see Corbyn lead the country through Covid - the alternative being Johnson, presumably? With the results we all saw. Unite - you have a problem with unions? Who work hard to see that their members get a fair deal in their workplace? How exactly are these people and groups "all as bad as each other"? In what way? Labour "purging their party of the far-left" has given us a weak prime minister who has apparently deserted any "left" (aka caring for other people and having decent moral principles) leanings he ever had. Which is why people appear to be leaving Labour in droves and voting, or intending to vote, Green or Lib Dem or for an independent Left candidate. Starmer has shot himself in the foot, in my opinion. But what would I know. What worked?! I don't know enough about what you are talking about to comment, but "believing" you know the reason someone did something does not make it true. I don't believe that Corbyn ever got "starstruck" or "forgot about his politics", but if you can provide evidence that those things are true, then fair enough. I don't think you can, though.
    • I think you need to get a grip If it's who I am thinking of, she's a young black girl in her twenties, has braids with bright colours through them and - I suspect - works with her father. It's always the same man behind the wheel and he's older than her, always in the same van, so I'm assuming it's a father-daughter combo which, if it is, I think is rather sweet.  They hustle hard in a job that is poorly paid, has little prospects, is relentless and thankless. The fact that they have stuck it out since the pandemic says a lot about them.  I think she's a lovely girl, who's perhaps a little shy - but she'll smile or chat back if you make the effort with her. And I admire her for sticking with that job for so long. Perhaps she's just one of these people who's naturally a bit clumsy or bashes things, the same way some people are heavy on their feet when they walk. But I wouldn't dream of jeopardising her job because she closes the slams the gate and doesn't 'kiss' the ring doorbell with her fingers.  Perhaps she's being passive aggressive because you are. And perhaps she also wishes she got to spend her time worrying about potential damage to her letterbox or her gate.  As for your gate / letterbox - you're talking about hypotheticals. Has there been any damage? No. Then go and live your life and worry about it when it happens.  (apols we have the wrong person, but some of my points still stand).
