DC Scam Alert?
I am trying to verify this with DC.gov, but I can’t find anything easily on their site pertaining to fundraising door-to-door. Is there a reader out there who can verify this to be true?
From an email:
“All people raising money must be registered with the City and must have
official identification cards with them. No exceptions.
You are both smart and within your rights to call police when these
folks knock on your door. The ID must be a DC issued ID specifically
for fund raising, which also IDs the organization for which money is being
raised.”

I dunno, if the girl scouts come knocking, I’m not asking for ID. I’ll buy a box of thin mints and take their word that they really are girl scouts.
