She does sound like the same woman who visited my house. She was older
(60's sounds reasonable) and also claimed to be undergoing chemo, for
the blotches on her face. She also talked about religion. She said her
name was Rebecca Edmunds. I wonder if she'll use the same name with
other people.
It is unfortunate.
Take care,

This past Thursday afternoon, a woman came to my door, waking me from
a nap, saying that she needed help, that she was 62 years old and
undergoing chemotherapy for cancer. She was short, very wrinkled,
and looked at least 70. I imagined that I saw some blotches on her
left cheek, but I was both half asleep and wanting to connect her with
the many recent posts about a scammer. I live on the 4500 block
of Regent Street. The woman at my door claimed to be a neighbor and
then when I said "I know who you are, I've heard all about you, and
you don't live on my street." At which point she said "I'm your
neighbor around the corner, I live on 48th st." I replied "I'm sorry,
I don't trust you," to which she answered "I trust in Jesus," shook
her head, and toddled off toward Clark Park. The dog-walker who had
brought her to my door, because I am the only person she knows on
Regent Street (lucky me!) apologized profusely to me and took her
leave. My question to all of you who've met the scamming lady is
whether my visitor is likely to be the same person. I don't remember
reading anything about her apparent age in any of your posts. If
I'd been more together at the time, I might have called the police or
UCD or at least suggested to the woman that she might get help from
them, or I could have directed her to the health center across the
park. It is awfully sad that so many wretched people are
walking our streets, where they are clearly not getting the help they
need.
