Bryan and I received the following email from a concerned resident in our neighborhood. I'm really surprised to hear that we are being scammed like this by kids. Last year, I made a donation to the local high school band, who sent a couple kids in band hats to my door. I didn't ask them to show me their school id...the really dumb band hats convinced me that they were legit.
Dear Neighbors,
It has come to our attention that young adults have been soliciting residents in the neighborhood for donations to go on a trip. I have confirmed with the Principal's office at [the local] High School that these young adults are NOT students from [the school]. Please remember that students are required to always carry school ID or wear a team/band uniform if they are soliciting donations for school-related activities. Of course we like to support our students and their activities. But please be cautious! If they do not have the proper school ID or uniform, then we have been asked by the Orlando Police Department to call [and] report them. Please do not hesitate to contact OPD immediately if you feel something is suspicious. Thank you for helping to keep our neighborhoods safe.
