Yet Another Scam

Someone comes to your door with a bottle of wine and a bunch of flowers he asks for £3.50 if your mug enough to offer him the money he tells you he doesn't carry cash and could you pay with a credit card? If your still mug enough to pay with a card its your own fault because a few days later your missing money from your bank.

Yes Aysa they even make out their dogs gotten into your back garden so you go with them into the back garden while their scummy mate lets himself into your house because you never locked the front door.

Re: Yet Another Scam

Why would someone offer to pay for wine and flowers when asked on the doorstep? Have these householders not seen enough publicity about the dangers? And why pay anyway? Just get yerself down to your nearest supermarket for them.

*tuts* Everyone needs reminding of what a dodgy society we live in.
