General Chat

daughter had a man call on her house today,
unusual in the fact he went to back garden entrance, not normal front door,
her dog was going nuts,
she had babes in her arms, and little lady asleep on sofa,
as she went to door he was grinning,
then asked all questions bout babes,
how old is he
enjoying his cuddle there
hes tiny,

you kjnow the gooey stuff getting you into chat,
he asked bits abotu insurance, but nothing specific sales wise,
saying house and life insurance,
he was bit unkempt looking,
but as she lives in back to back houses and they are terrace too,
he only seemed to call on hers,

was askeing where her partner works,
she told him nothing,
and he left ,
very strange,
personally id like her to inform police, but she wont,
and i spose theres nothing theyll do as crime not commited

It would still be a good idea for her to tell the local police station though Julie. They like to know about these things and may even know who it is, or if it's some sort of scam.

She could warn her neighbours and have everyone on their guard against this person . Do they have a neighbourhood watch scheme or community police person?

i know,
its worrying when she got new baby , and little missy there too,
lucky her dog dont give up when she barks,
but you do worry,
there has been break ins round the area ,
i did warn her , watch he wernt distracting her while someones trying to get in front door

i dont know about community police,
i know they got wardens for the area, but not sure what they like
as wen she had some hassle before they were gona call, but didnt

Sounds suspicious to me. Could have been doing a recce for a burglary. I would certainly report the visit to the local police station.

I agree with the others; you daughter must certainly tell the police. I'm glad she wasn't drawn into telling this man about her partner's work.

It's a good job she has a dog, though.

I don't agree Wildgoose. I think she should have told him about her husband being a 6'5" policeman who specialised in combat training :))))))))))

ha christine,
now thats a fantasy,

but i agree, it may be a scare for um,
clearly they dont know her dad, cos everyone claims to be a bitnervous round him,
i think its just the manner, and the way he is,

Julie Ann.... do you know what I'd do? I'd phone the police anyway... myself..... they need to know... she is vulnerable, she has a tiny little babby, and a little toddler... and the back door fgs!!

They need to know, the police, I mean... there will be a telephone number for you to contact online.... and it doesn't need to be from your daughter if YOU are worried.... or tell you what, pm me her address, and I'll phone them!!

As has been said... they may have an idea of who this is..... and will also know if there have been other scams in the area.

Love and ((((hugs))))

Daff xxxx

your right daff i know you are

thanks,

i just promised her i wouldnt phone um,
but i think shes worried cos of what her partner will say,
he will think im interfering, and being over dramatic,
but what the hell
im mam and nan

i phne them now

Not interfering,not over reacting.........police need to be aware .

ok just phoned um
and fella said,
nothing been reported for that area today,
and to tell her to just keep all doors and windows secure,
and tell any callers not invited your not interested, #
dont get in conversation with them,
and close door,
they dont usually come back,

if she wants to call um tomorrow , they go round and see her

Does she livein a Neighbourhood Watch area?

Hopefully your call will be logged anyway Julie Ann.

Well done love..... and it will be logged, as Ann said.... so if she sees or hears anything suspicious, then there will be history for them to act on....

Love

Daff xxxx

thanks guys,

yeh i do worry that it wont be logged, he didnt take any names, just the area,

Julie, the most important thing is for your daughter to keep doors locked so that had there been an accomplice he couldn't have got in the front while she was being kept talking at the back, or vice versa if it happens again.
It's a good thing you called to advise, how would she feel if a neighbour or someone in the next street got hurt or lots of money stolen, maybe a pensioner, because she didn't report it?

She really needs to be careful who she is answering the door to, and use a chain before opening it up wide.
