Tell not to answer the door to anyone unless they know them.

Have you a description of the woman, please?

Blonde, brunette?

 

Granma.

There are some fairly simple ideas to help protect the elderly and vulnerable in their homes. A spyhole lets them see who is there. A large printed notice on or near the door (inside) reminds the person to be wary of unexpected callers. Keeping any money in the house to a minimum, and putting it away in a locked drawer out of sight.

These measures aren't designed to protect against burglars, just people like the woman in the op.

 

Two of my neighbours experienced a similar scenario. One, an elderly lady was on the ball and refused to open the door, while another let them in and a purse was stolen.

 

These charming individuals were caught by the way.

I saw a blonde from my bay-window but did not answer when she knocked as I thought she was a Jehovah Witness.

(And I was having my dinner.)

What does this woman gain from doing what shes doing

 

She must get a kick out of it

She wants to get into the house and steal anything she can.

Or, you know, material goods and cash.
