a bona-fide collector for my local AA knocked on my front door a few months ago, and I gladly reached for my wallet to give him some notes.
Oh no, he says, he wants my credit card and shoves a form at me wanting to sign up to a monthly direct debit for 20 quid minimum.
Aeromys, if you live in the area covered by the Yorkshire Air Ambulance you have had a near miss. The YAA does NOT do door to door collections for cash or direct debits, nor does it hand out those plastic bags for you to fill with unwanted clothing. YAA is very keen for people to report all such occurrences to the Police. Unfortunately the people perpetrating these actions are very convincing in appearance, patter etc, even down to wearing clothing which, to the uninitiated looks exactly as they would expect of a member of the crew.
