Kid selling candy, something seemed strange
The other day there was a knock on my door which ended up being a kid, probably 11-13 years old, with a box of candy. He said he was trying to sell it to raise money for his basketball team. I told him that I didn’t have any cash and he promptly said “okay” and turned around. I probably would have bought something if he took card or Venmo, but he didn’t even give me a chance to ask. Regardless all that seemed normal enough but their where a couple of strange things about it.
The candy was just movie theatre sized candy in an unmarked cardboard box. That’s totally fine and I get the need to raise funds on your own without some sort of third party fundraising company. But the kid got in a car and they left without stopping by any other houses around me. Which seemed off. My house is in the middle of a street and there are neighbors all around. The last weird thing was when I checked my mail today 3 of the candy boxes he was selling were sitting on the ground by my mailbox. If you were really trying to raise money I doubt you would just leave random inventory behind.
Has anyone seen anything like this? Is it a scam or something?
