A Derby woman who falsely claimed to be collecting money for charity has been jailed for a year and given a three-year Anti Social Behaviour Order.
Many of Lisa Dillon's victims were also told she needed money for a train fare to visit her desperately ill father.
Dillon, 24, from Havelock Road in Normanton, had visited homes throughout Derby claiming to be a trainee nurse or teacher collecting money for a charity balloon jump.
At an earlier hearing she had admitted 19 counts of deception.
Homes ban
On Thursday she asked for a further 35 to be taken into consideration.
Derby Crown Court heard she was eventually caught last month after a Mickleover man answered the door to her a few days after being warned about the scam.
He followed Dillon until the police arrived to arrest her.
