There was a young woman trolling our neighborhood stating her name as Angelica Germain, claiming to be a neighbor and that she's a mechanical engineering major at the University of Texas working on restoring a P51 Mustang. She said that her dad is making her get off her duff and raise funds so that she can go work with Boeing on the restoration. When I told her we had a household policy of not donating at the door but asked her for a website for the group working on project, she stormed off in a huff, saying if I couldn't help her the way she asked, then not to bother.
I then found these reports:
Beware of a Door to Door Solicitation Scam
consumer complaints on Angel Germain
I then drove around and found her at a neighbor's house. Too late to save them from giving her some money, but while she was still at the door I asked the homeowner what name she had given... This time, it was Zimmerman. As she started to leave, I asked her for her actual address."2005 Addison." Doesn't exist. She then started leaving in a hurry, saying I was harassing her. "On the contrary, you're scamming my neighbors." She was last seen walking out of the neighborhood (to which I also advised the local constabulary).
Description: white female, ~5'5", skinny, two long braids in fabric wrappers, glasses, very young-looking (think high school not college), kinda nerdy. Hyper-articulate.
