PLeAse DoNAtE... nOt!

A quick entry before am off to a meeting in Sentosa...

The BF sent me home on Tues night after an exciting movie feast of Die Hard 4.0. It was like 10 plus and we were chatting outside the corridor near the lift landing on unit level. Minutes into our conversation, I spied from the corner of my eye, a slight figure coming towards our direction.

I took a look and saw a female dressed in berms, tee and cap walking towards us. She was holding a card-like object in her hand and her mobile in the other. Along the way, she stopped outside some units, looked at the door and smsed into her mobile. Had no idea what she was doing at such an hour (in fact, I thought she was the daughter of one of the neighbours) and definitely not wanting to find out, the BF and me briskly turned towards my unit and walked away from that strange lady.

She then called out to us but we ignored her. When my mum opened the door to let me and the BF into my home, that lady spoke in chinese, asking us to make some donation. My mum refused politely and she walked away.

Weird. Are people supposed to door to door to soliciate for donations after 10pm? I think it scares potential donors off more.

Mum and the BF were speculating that it could be a fraud and how there are an increasingly number of fraud donations recently.

Take the example of the fake monks and nuns begging for $ along the streets. The Sunday Times just last week ran a story that they were fakes housed in Geylang and some 'monks' even have girlfriends.

So be careful my friends. Do not be taken in by these fakes.
