I just had a very strange interaction with someone who rang my doorbell. A middle aged man had pretty legitimate looking tickets, the type you would get for a local fundraiser or banquet, for a chicken BBQ lunch of some sort.

Here’s the catcher…they had my home address printed on them! I live in a town of about 100,000 outside of a larger metropolis, so there’s a lot of houses around. It said the location was at the “Handy Center”, which I have never heard of, and doesn’t show up on Google Maps, and once again had my home address on it.

This person was not suspicious looking or acting, and did not continue to try to engage once I said I couldn’t help. I was so shocked I didn’t ask key questions like, “Where did you get these from?” or “Who sold them to you?” Or “Where did you come from?” There’s a lot of scams out there, so tickets to a fake fundraiser aren’t shocking, but why my home address?

After saying goodbye, the guy drove his car very slowly down my street (which is only ~40 houses long), like he was still looking for the chicken lunch, which makes me think that he was the one who was scammed.

I’m not sure what to make of this one.
