A young man came to my door today. He showed me I D and a load of details about a lottery that is being set up by N W Air Ambulance Service. Everything seemed to be genuine so I said I would join the lottery. He then said they don't accept cheques, cash or credit cards but only Direct Debit. He wanted me to complete a D D form giving him details of my bank account. I told him there is no way I give out those details on my doorstep and, in that case, I was unable to take part.

While I know about the Air Ambulance and I'm often willing to donate to charities and good causes I am surprised that they expect these kind of details to be given to a casual caller. Do you agree or am I just over-cautious?
