Does Cunnington Court W4 EXIST?

I just had a very nice man knock on my door in Cunnington Street, collecting funds for a penalty shoot out for charity. He had already been given large amounts by my neighboursI was a little apprehensive when he wanted payment up front first he said he was local, "living across the road" pointing behind him, then when i asked where he lived, he said Cunnington Court and pointed in the other direction.At that momentI felt a little niggling doubt.I've checked on google and only Cunnington Street comes up.I am willing to sponsor him, but only if the information he volunteered to me was true, which atm seems a little dubious.  He is due to come back on Wednesday for his sponsorship money.I am just more confused than anything and feel bad that i am questioning his good intentions but his changing responses made me feel this way.So my query to put my mind at ease is does Cunnington Court,W4, around the corner from Cunnington Street actually exist?TYIA x

Cunnington Court doesn't officially exist anywhere in England.  You're right that Google doesn't know of it; nor does Royal Mail, and nor does my favourite address-checking site, AFD.  (afd.co.uk/try-it)I assume he told you that your neighbours had contributed "large amounts", in which case that's a breach of confidentiality.  He should have at least shown you a leaflet about the event, and made it clear which charity would benefit.

Not sure about Cunnington Court but there is a similar post on Nextdoor questioning, and sharing experiences, of a door-to-door football penalty shootout collection that is currently taking place in the Acton Green/Bedford Park area.

So many scams cannot believe anyone anymore best to steer clear of themand stay safe.  Never heard of Cunnington Court either.
