"She's got a few quid": Salesman sacked after doorbell camera catches him targeting 71-year-old widow

A salesman was sacked after a doorbell camera caught him talking on his phone about targeting a widow.

The door-to-door seller was caught saying that the 71-year-old woman had a 'few quid' and that he just needed to 'get in her f***ing house' to make a sale, Hull Live reports. The camera heard him say: "Her husband died about six months ago and she’s got a few quid".

After the video was posted on Facebook, the sons of the widow - who lives on the Orchard Park estate in Hull - contacted Safestyle, who the man was working for in a self-employed capacity. They described his behaviour as 'disgusting' and said his contract had been terminated with immediate effect.
