Meaning what?

Alrock why don't you go your self im trying to warn people and do good a all you can do is comment on my typing off dick

just complete bams

thanks for the warning that they are on their rounds

Red Cross are also doing the rounds. Two nights ago I had a visit from a Young Man who said he represented "The Red Cross" and that he wanted me to sign up to Donate a set sum every month by Direct Debit.

I really surprised him when I advised him that I could not do this as I did not have a Bank Account. He left stunned shaking his head in disbelief.

Why not just put a NO COLD CALLER sign on your door ? I find that in my case they do work. Talk to your local Crime Prevention Officer, they are only too glad to help.

I had the same the other night, very suspicious

Ask to see their ID. Take a note of their name etc., and then contact the charity they claim to represent.
