Hi everyone
I'm very concerned, and need to share this.
I've just had a women knock on my door.
she handed my husband a card that read.
"Hi I am deaf, I'm selling my drawings, to buy Xmas presents for my children?.
When my husband signed my wife is also deaf.
He said she looked like a dear in headlights (she didn't reply).
I said did you just sign? Or did you speak aswel?
He said he did both.
Now if this is a scam? I think it's disgusting.
Anyone using any disability to make money, is totally out of order.
I just hope she doesn' take advantage, of the old people were I live.

If you can, reporting scams can help protect others in future.
If it’s not some sort of a scam it’s a very weird coincidence. This was a guy in his 20’s. Thanks for making us aware of it x

Yup dodgy
Iv'e just found out it is a "scam".
And i would advise calling the police a.s.a.p, so they are caught in the act.
There are different story's going around "men and women".
They've lost there jobs ect.
I'm absolutely disgusted
They need to be "stopped"
Thank you
thanks for that information. Makes wonder how easy is it to fake certain disabilities and make it believable that it is real!
