How scummy do you have to be to pull a scam like this? Some people really suck.

Why can’t they just steal from the elderly like normal criminals?

These guys came to my door in Shawnessy... I asked if they were Kidsport, and they said no, that they were a different group. Did seem somewhat shady though...

Snap a picture of them if they say Kidsport ... that will slow them down.

I've settled on being a firm no to anyone who approaches me for charity money, there are just far too many sketchy and scam charities out there. I hate the idea that I'm enabling that kind of trash when I cave in to "for only $2 more you can save the blah blah blah". I make monthly donations to charities that I've vetted to my own satisfaction, the rest get nothing.

As long as there are cookies, I’ll donate at the door. Otherwise, online.
