Two people were collecting for Concern on The Old Tramore Road this afternoon. Definitely not ginger hair. Does anyone know about them?

Had one call around Saturday evening. Listened to him for a while, when I enquired as to how I could pay he wanted bank details. Politely told him no chance & sent him on his merry way

Why are you uncomfortable giving out bank details may I ask ? Were they not wearing id ?

IDs can be easily faked. Just rattling off bank details to someone is never a good idea

Was this guy around Marian Park or Keane's Rd a while ago? I saw a chap passing the window but only got a glance at him, the doorbell rang but I was upstairs in the toilet. I think this guy needs to be taught a lesson. Is he a member of a certain community or just a scumbag?

Cheers, that'll do me. If he appears at the door I'll be ready to challenge him. A couple of slaps and he won't be back on my road again. Some might not agree with my method but it's the only way to stop this kind of ****, I have a lot of elderly neighbours and they're all terrified to open their doors lately.

I might be missing something but has this guy actually broken in anywhere? Just wondering what the basis for the thread is really.

Is he falsely representing himself as a charity worker?

He's definitely not a charity worker anyways.. Dunno if he broke in anywhere, to be honest he comes across as a fella who wouldn't be brainy enough to rob a house even if the front door was open.

I believe he's going door to door looking for sponsorship. He's getting small change, but it adds up. He was picked up by the Gardai right outside my house. A few mins later and he would've knocked on my door. Anyway, the Gardai made him return the money to my neighbours because their names were on the clipboard. He does look a real simple fcuker though.

Could be going round the rockshire hill area at the moment. Girlfriend said she f***ed him out of it for waking the child. Tall thin red haired guy with blue clipboard.

He didn't hang around long.

This guy is now doing the rounds in Ferrybank ( Belmount Area)

He just came to my door at 6:30pm and gave some spiel about doing doing a charity cycle for the Victory Outreach Center - as soon as he said that my alarm bells went through the roof **.

I asked him for ID or verification , to which he said he had none - I politely told him I was calling the Guards there and then which prompted him to skulk off rather quickly out of the estate.

(** A few months ago a relation had rather savoury looking collector / caller caller claiming to be from the "Victory Outreach" addiction centre in Cork while another guy with him was skulking about acting dodgy outside the wall of the house, we asked for id he said he had none, we then challenged him and asked was he for real, which he said yes, we then rang victory outreach in his presence and they said he was nothing to do with them and they don’t normally have folks calling outside their area of Cork and Dublin, his mate at the wall had now done a runner and as soon as we said we would alert the guards the caller he also did a runner – we called the guards but never heard anymore)

This legendary folk hero just turned up on my door in Fairfield Park looking for sponsorship for a Charity Cycle... Of course being familiar with this lad from the board I spotted him immediately... sent him on his merry way... tipped off the boys in blue

Professey Chin · 05-08-2012 12:33am

He called to me last week claiming to be collecting for autistic children. Deserves an award for all the charity work he's doing

I ran alot of charity days and had to have photo id with the name of charity i was collecting for and also the charity number posted plainly on the card. Anyone who does not have this piece of ID is def not collecting for charity. If you ask to see this card and they dont have it call the guards asap.

mike65 · 05-08-2012 8:23pm

I give it to him, he putting in some effort to con people of their hard earned cash.

Wouldn't* he be better off trying to get some part time young, saving himself time and hassle?

* yes I know, jobs are a rarity these days.

abouttobebanned · 06-08-2012 10:26am

Haha jaysus. Last Saturday night I was in bed at the crazy time of 8pm (a one year old will do that to ya) and there was a knock on the door. We don't get many callers to our ghost estate in the back arse of nowhere but and I was particularly pissed off cause the dog barked at him and then the child woke. Anyway, I answered the door and he was heading to the next house...when he saw me he came back and started talking about a charity cycle...my exact words were "ah for ****'s sake..:no thanks" and went back in.

I then started to feel guilty about how I spoke to him. And then I found this thread.

A few weeks ago - the Girl came to my door, usual waffle about some charity - I said I'd already give to that in work today - should have seen the puzzled look on her face as I closed the door.:D

Archeron · 11-08-2012 7:52pm

Would anyone be shocked if I said I think I just seen this guy in Trim, co meath? Dude with exact description, blue clipboard collecting for a charity that doesnt exist. I'm on phone so cannot link to this thread but am going to post in meath forum to be safe. If anyone can link that thread to this, I'd be grateful.

I'm glad I was reading this thread a few weeks ago, his appearance reminded me of it.

stacexD · 16-08-2012 2:54am

Is he kinda young looking?
It never hit me until reading the 100th person saying how simple he looked that someone like that called to my door a couple of months ago too

Although he only looked about 17/18 I though and was dressed lie a bit of a scumbag! I gave him €2 simply because there was a bit hanging off my door that I couldnt fix and he fixed it while he was waiting for me to answer haha

I remember he was ginger anyways and something to do with cycling, and there would have been no car in the drive!

I thought he looked 20-22 . Yeah he ginger, not as ginger as the YouTube ginger people have souls fella but kinda dark ginger.
Definitely a cycle charity though. Dark blue/navy jacket on him. Remind ya of plug from the comics years ago.

haulagebasher · 16-08-2012 1:31pm

This thread and this chancer are getting epic at this stage! Damn, if he called to my house I would have fair messed with him. " sponsored cycle is it? ah sure I often do the cycles meself. Can I take part? when is it? jaysus I'll do it."Is there any chance of a pic of the guy? I know posting pics on here gets mods' knickerses in a knot but if someone takes a pic can the PM it to me please?

Kxiii · 24-08-2012 9:15pm

I just had a knock on the door (Grange area) the missus went out to answer it. Some young skinny ginger fella with a light blue clipboard and dark jacket collecting for a charity cycle.

Then I heard herself saying aren't you your man off the internet, the scam artist. I went out to see what was going on, saw who it was from the description here. I asked him what he wanted. He said I'm collecting for a charity (never mentioned the name of the charity). I told him to fcuk off I knew exactly what he was up to.

He looked shocked and turned round and headed for entrance to the estate. Now if he was from a real charity I'm sure he would have just left my garden and gone to one of the houses next door and not walked quickly away.
