Just had a very weird occurrence.
A woman in her 20's knocked at my door and said 'I've just bought number 10 and slept there last night but I don't have my keys to my own house as I lost them. Can someone drop some keys off to you and I will be around to pick them up at 12 oclock?'
No 10 is for sale but I know them and I know they a) hadn't exchanged yet and b) were currently in the house as I could see them in the garden.
I went and excused myself and had a word with the neighbours- they didn't know who she was (she gave me a name, probably false).
Went back to the front door and said my neighbours didn't know her.
She then said "Ok, let me tell you the truth- I have been kicked out by my boyfriend and I need to get keys to get back into the house".
I said to her that I didn't know what scam she was pulling but clearly she was trying something on.
At that point I quickly took a snapshot of her with my iPhone and said 'now I've got your face, you might be best off now'.
She definitely DIDN'T want me taking her picture- turned very quickly (I got a good side profile).
Does anyone know what this scam is?
Is she trying to get into the house, or are they dropping *something other than keys off', or something else?
I've reported it to the Police- just wondering if this is something people have heard of.

Are they your next door neighbours? If so, it's possible she was hoping you would say - 'oh don't worries, I've got keys you can use.'.
