red14 Posted April 12, 2017 Share Posted April 12, 2017 Had a woman knocking on our door late last night near the corner of Peckham Rye and the Gardens. She claimed she couldn't hear me obviously to get me to open the door and that she needed help because her meter had run out and she only had ?3 on her. All very odd, and I was not impressed or about to fall for it, told her I couldn't help her!

JohnL Posted April 12, 2017 Share Posted April 12, 2017 The fact they all use the same line makes you wonder if it's a group scam Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/149054-suspect-woman-knocking-asking-for-1115pm/#findComment-1124649 Share on other sites More sharing options...
uncleglen Posted April 12, 2017 Share Posted April 12, 2017 There was a woman in the car park in Croydon asking people for 20p for her bus fare to see her sick sister. She was there the following week asking the same thing from everyone who passed her. Say she gets 20p from most people- steady flow back and forth from the lift to the car park all day and they only come and go once a week probably, she could amass not much short of ?40 a day by my calculations...and before you ask, no, I did not contribute.

red14 Posted April 13, 2017 Author Share Posted April 13, 2017 SpringTime I didn't get a look at her as I didn't open the door. She gave up easily once she knew I wasn't going to open the door.

oliviaandmilo Posted April 13, 2017 Share Posted April 13, 2017 Very old scam, I remember twenty years having someone asking for money at my door, never seen the woman in my life. I've had many a hard time, pride alone,wouldn't enable you to knock on strangers door at crazy hours. Scammers only have the innerds for that!

Phlox Posted April 19, 2017 Share Posted April 19, 2017 At Lidl and other supermarkets, they ask to return your trolley so they can take the pound coin.
