To think a "charity collector" was trying to scam me

Just had a bloke at the door, all very chatty "I'm from such and such a charity for deaf children I'm sure you've heard of us" Well no, but whatever, let me get my purse and get you off my doorstep. "Oh no" says he "We don't take donations over the door, what I need is your bank account number and sort code - not any sensitive information...."

"Oh no" says I "no way am I handing that information over to you." Off he went, not best pleased.

I'm not being stupid am I? Why would anyone hand that sort of information to a random stranger? And whatever happened to a good old fashioned collection tin? Maybe a sticker to say thanks?

Just after I had DS I received a letter from the NSPCC about children 2 of which had the same names as mine coincidence

I'm with ranting and suew - I don't like their tactics and will not donate to them.

To the OP def the right descision to say no, very dodgy!!
