| Has a stranger ever rang your doorbell and asked you if they could use your phone? If so, what did you let them? If this hasn't happened, would you? | |

| It has & if I don't know them I don't answer the door much less let them in. Sometimes they have caught me outside. Same rules still apply. | |

There are scammers who use that tactic to rob ppl, usually old and naive ppl here in South Florida. | |

| That's happened before, and yes.....I let them use the phone. Their story would have to be a good one....whether its true or not. If someone needs to, they can use the phone. All that skepticism about it is silly. | |

| If their story is a good one I might let them use the phone, but unless they're hurt or I can see they are distraught they're probably not coming in. They can make their call from the porch. | |

| That hasn't happened in a while, I've done it before, I've let them us my phone from the doorway. | |

| It has happened and I let them use it outside the door and I make sure they are not dialing long distance. | |

| It does happen in terms of I don't know the people but they're usually someone who knows my father, so of course I let them use the phone. | |

| Hasn't happened to me, because if I'm not expecting someone, or don't recognize the person (I often peek through the bedroom window) then I just don't answer.
Would I? Nope!. He/She can wait outside while I make the call ~ and I'd be watching that person like a hawk. | |
