Beware Any Caller

[goosegirl]

Awhile ago a young lad about 16plus dressed in a cheap looking suit knocked on my door not long after a sales guy had left. It was about 2.30 in the afternoon and he said he was from the yeb, checking to see if I was interested in a money saving offer. He had no badge so I asked for id and he looked rattled and said sorry he had forgotten to bring it, and waved some papers with yeb at me. I asked where he was parked and he said he had no car.

I declined the offer and sent him away. I rang the yeb to query this and they said they had some young guys in that area with id, I explained that he had none and left it at that.

Police informed people a few weeks after of a young guy saying the same and sneeking into houses in my area, I wished I had told the police, but I did not want to make a fuss in case it was nothing.

Thanks GG, a good reminder that.

Good one on you though, thankfully you had the insight to check and ask :) It's unfortunate when people like this catch out the more vulnerable people in our communities.

Absolutely right to check ID!!

A lot of posing as Yorkshire Water officials round here, especially with the very vulnerable.
