“Football Fundraiser” kids

Has anyone else been approached by kids (largely in Green Hills in my experience) with laminated sheets with a Venmo code asking for fundraiser donations? Occasionally they are also offering a candy option with the donation. But every time, they are reporting they are on the [insert Metro public high school name] football team fundraising for jerseys for their upcoming game… when it’s not even during football season.

We have been approached at our table inside of restaurants for these requests on two occasions now, often in the Green Hills mall parking lot, and it happened again in another strip mall yesterday where they followed us to our vehicle to ask for the money.

I don’t know why it gets under my skin so badly other than it clearly being a scam, but I get increasingly annoyed with each occurrence.
