get a knock at the door, its an old man, who starts gabbering a mile a minute, hands me a gold star and starts shoving laminated folded up "permits" that you cant hardly read and then hands me one with various magazine names on it with sloppy hand writing in marker on the top.
he continually asks mundane and useless questions that has no relation to why he's knocking on my door, and states over and over "he's here for the veterans"
he never says what group or organization he is with, i dont see anything on his person for actually taking orders for magazines. i hand him back his "cards" and he keeps pushing them toward me. i tell him to stop and he needs to hang on to them.
he then in a round about way tells me the star he gave me first off is 25 dollars, when i say i dont have 25 dollars he quickly says 5 dollars. i say i dont have 5 dollars and hand him back the star (which i dont everything goes on debit card) he turns around and practically runs down the side walk as fast as an old man with a cane can.
handing someone and then expecting payment is the same types of scam the pan handlers in chicago play the game they are counting on people being too intimidated to say no.
i think i may call the city
