Another doorstep scam?

A woman claiming to live on Victoria Road was buzzing all the flats in my building earlier, saying that she'd run out of electricity, only had £2, and needed to make it up to £10 to be able to get the power on again. Maybe she was for real, maybe not, but thought I'd post a warning as these scans do happen from time to time.

    I've had both a woman claiming to be a mental health patient looking for help (I assume money) to get back to hospital and somebody claiming to be my neighbour. Both at about 1am.

    We've just had this on Thorpedale Road at 11:30pm on a Sunday - someone claiming to be our neighbour (who definitely isn't) claiming to need change for the electricity but didn't have the larger note he said he needed change for.
