Doorstep scams??

Just had some youngish guy knock my door, sign to me that he's deaf and give me this card which said along the lines of "my name is so and so and I am deaf and I am trying to sell my drawings" and he goes to show me this big folder he's got. Now I am a right soft touch and will chuck money at anyone who I think genuinely needs it but it struck me as odd and seens as it said he was charging 20 bucks for a drawing I just said no thankyou and didn't even look at them. He looked like he was going to cry. Are things like this actually genuine people or do you think it's a bit of a con?? Got the guilts now

On second thoughts I could chase him up the street and see if he would do me a special "portrait" for Tits out Tuesday

If he was asking for a few quid maybe a fiver I probably would have. But asking people to cough up 20 quid for a random drawing off a stranger on their doorstep struck me as rather strange

Ive had the same thing here. The drawings are just basic stuff nothing really that artistic. I didn't believe for a minute he was deaf though! In hindsight i should have called out when he left to see if he heard me. Lol

And all the big issue sellers are homeless

And worst of all the charities that pay hundreds of thousands of pounds on TVs advertising they are all just as bad

Lol I've heard it all now! What would they be tracking inperticuler? Your house incase it starts to move? Sorry for being sarky they were down Newport last month and Facebook was full of conspiracy theorys, they are marking your house if you are a single woman. Looking for dogs for dog fighting ect.. The real reason is they are probably just after money for shit drawings, but that don't sound as good. Just tell them you're phoning the police and they will scamper off x

This is a scam that is very popular in India and Sri lanka where there are tourists. Very easy to get caught out if you are not careful.
