This clean cut college looking boy came to my friend's house in Novato, Ca and claimed that his parents lived on a nearby street and that he was a student of theater at UCLA. He and his college buddies from UCLA were "raising money to pay for transportation and hotel to perform for a John Cleese theater production in London." I knew it was a scam immediately - he had no ID, no brochure, no receipt book, yada yada yada.
Foolishly, my friend wrote out a check and gave it to him - without any receipt or anything.
Sure enough I did an internet search and discovered that others have fallen for their gimics. Don't be fooled by these so called college kids seeking donations. Scam artists!
