So I'm really hoping I'm over thinking this.
I had a set of door to door charity collectors come to my house yesterday.
I was home on my own with baby DD and DH had just gone on the school run.
They seemed very nice, two girls late teens early twenties and I was considering donating to the charity - kids related, heartstrings duly tugged.
They were looking to sign people up to a monthly direct debit.
Where it got weird is they asked to come inside my house to fill out the forms in order to "lean on a table".
I stupidly allowed my polite English person to the fore and said yes.
I'm now thinking this was a really daft thing to do, anything could have happened and what if they were robbers casing the joint?????
Now for full disclosure we are part way through renovating the house, don't have very ostentatious taste and don't live in a mansion, so there isn't a lot they would have seen. However we did have a large amount of change visible (bagged up) from DH's business.
They did seem to have all of the right ID (but I'm now thinking you could print that off yourself and stick a picture on).
Also I did phone the charity afterwards and they do have people in my area... but I'm still not reassured.
AIBU to think that it's odd for them to invite themselves in? Or is this a technique they use to get more sign ups??
