crying woman dilemma

This morning I opened the door to a distraught woman. After I'd managed to calm her down a bit it seems her Husband has told her their marriage is over because he is in love with me. This was a bit of a surprise because I don't actually know this man. She wants me to talk to him and tell him I'm not interested. What would you do it feels he's a bit stalkerish and I definitely don't want to be giving him any encouragement by speaking to him. I do really feel for his poor wife

If you don’t know her or him I’d be checking my home to make sure nothing was taken before believing her story.

She sounds nuts and potentially dangerous.
If you see her again cross the road/shut the door and if she harasses you contact the police

You don't know him but you know he's a bit stalkerish? That's strange.

Lock your door and call the police. Bollocks you feel sorry for a random stranger trying to con you

Super strange.

She has the wrong house, surely?

If you literally absolutely don't know the guy?

I don't know he's stalkerish I meant how he's behaving seems that way. I work in a cafe so I'm assuming he might be a customer

Are you sure it isnt mistaken identity on the crying womans part? Sounds extremely odd.

Could she be vulnerable or having a mental health issue ?

Personally I'd stay well out of it , don't make this your problem! Her husband could be deranged , it could be some kind of elaborate scam or the woman herself could be unwell. Either way not your circus , not your monkeys and I wouldn't encourage either of them.

I found it extremely odd she knew my name. I definitely didn't let her in it's a concern that she knows where I live I've told my son not to open the door to anyone.

Don't ever open the door to people like that! Sounds like a massive scam - there have been a spate of them lately where someone is crying at the door and when the homeowner opens the door one or more men barge inside, attack and rob them.

I would guess mistaken identity or some sort of scam do not let her in your house

I'm sure this very thing happened in something I watched on Netflix fairly recently. I can't remember what it was now.
Clearly this is nothing to do with you, even if it's true.

Report to the police. I'd expect it was a scam.

Don't open the door to her again. Look out the front window if someone knocks. I'd also say it's a scam of some sort and would contact the police to ask if anyone has been scammed in this way locally.

I've rung 101 to report this they haven't heard of this being a new scam. I've got a ring doorbell ordered. I'll be giving all the male customers at the cafe the beady eye from now on.

Even if the husband is a customer, how does that mean they know where you live?

some sort of scam was my thought too.

I'm sure you're extremely fall-in-love-with-able! But it all sounds unlikely, her going to your house, you not knowing who he is.....
