Door-to-door ice-cream sellers
-
You know those people who comes knocking on your door asking you to pay ridiculously huge for some cheap ice-cream? They would always say "Please support us!".
They come around really friendly and smiley(creepy?)and around and say "I am from the Girl's home. I am now...blah blah blah thus, I am unable to get a proper job blah blah blah and my parents are not giving me any money blah blah blah" Out of my sympathy, I wanted help her. But the RIDICULOUS price turns me off. $20 for a tub of ice-cream?? At least sell me at market rate!! At least she's holding on to a paper. Some even don't have a license.
From the start of the year, I kenna x3 times already. I knew this too well already, it's a scam!! Just some kids who want to earn big money by playing with the sympathy of people instead of earning some honest living. They are no difference from the NKF cheats, maybe these people have all the latest phones and the trendiest clothes.
Is the police doing anything to stop them? I really hate these people who takes advantage of my sympathy towards the needy.

Than they will despatch different block and start selling.........
After that meet and count money, get paid and bye bye, daily paid hor........

Once some punk kids showed up at my front door on a school night trying to sell me overpriced ice-cream.
I told them, 'Forget about selling ice-cream. Make your parents proud. Go back home, finish your homework, and do well in your studies.'
They rolled their eyeballs, laughed, and walked away.
That was five years ago. I seriously hope they took my advice.

the price of the ice cream is not cheap. Most of the time they are irritating and aggressive.

repot police, if they knock and eventuall move away, tail them. when police arrive keep police informed of theyr where abouts take photo and video of their appreances. give police your hp number to keep in contact.you pay taxes and s/cc and this is not what you get nuisamces.

send their pictures to as many schools as possible?

that's why HDB flat design also got flaws. i have seen some flats in HDB they have a space between the main door and the gate. and the gate is rim by fencing from floor to ceiling. even better than private property. in this way those ah long and door to door people cannot knock on the door have to press bell. better and less nuisances,. in this way people wont hav to complain they have no provacy ouside their flats already.

No. They are earning money that is all. The only thing I don't like it is they use the unwelcome approach.

I talked to few of them before. They are working on part time basis and everytime they work, the leader/ driver will ask them to meet at some places to collect the ice cream and sell at that area. Technically just some youth wanted to earn extra money. Dont think it bad except the pricing is a bit high then marker rate. just ignore them if you have no urge for ice cream.
