My wife also had a stranger ring the bell and tell her the same story.He gave a bogus home address and same false story.My wife sent him away and said she would bring some money after calling her husband.,that is when she called me and I quickly found out there was no such  address on our street,the man disappeared.

Another "scam " happens on the access road at Loop 820 and Trinity.I have seen it twice now...A lady pulls off the road ,frantically waves down cars and says she is out of gas and needs money.She has a phone and when we stopped to help she said someone else had stopped and was on their way to get a gas can filled but it was small and would not get her home,she wanted $$$ to fill her tank ?????I saw this same Lady about a month later in a diff car.P.S. she dresses very well,and what looks like a 15 YO boy usually sits slumped in the pass seat.

OH MY GOSH - that is very true about the lady at 820 and Trinity. My husband and I gave her $2 once (before I had seen her there multiple times and realized it was a scam). She also has the hood up on her car with her hazards blinking.  Next time I see her, or anyone sees her for that matter we should get the info off her plates and report her! People are CrAZy!

Wow - that is crazy!  I guess I have't seen the lady on 820 and Trinity.   And it is scary to hear that your wife heard the same story as my neighbor! 

I have seen that lady on 820/Trinity twice now. I will try to get her plates if I see her again. She was there last week, I did not feel comfortable stopping since I was by myself and it was almost dark but I didnt even think of it being a scam until I read this!
