On another scam going around. I had a knock on the door a few month's ago and it was a woman who said she had just moved into the houses behind us (new ones so sounded likely) and she had two small children but her husband was at work and the electricity meter had run out so could I lend her ?20 until her husband came in when she would pay me back. I did not like to think of her children being in the dark (it was then) so I gave her the money. Needless to say the last I heard of her or the money. When i went to check at the house they said they had also been scammed along with a few other neighbours - just one to watch out for. I felt a bit foolish when I realised I had been had but my heart was in the right place!!
