Parents have been urged to remind their children not to speak to strangers after a report of a man handing out business cards outside the gates of a grammar school.
He was said to have spoken to a pupil who reported the matter to a teacher. A spokesman for Greater Manchester Police said they have received a report of the incident and are monitoring the situation.A letter, seen by the Manchester Evening News, which was sent to parents outlined brief details of the incident. It said 'a man was seen by a member of teaching staff talking to several students'.
The student brought the cards to a teacher and now police have been alerted. Details of the script on the cards were outlined in the letter to parents. It reported the cards said 'your participation is required' via 'an incognito tab', before a link to a website which says 'the text that follows is presented purely in an attempt to bring peace and harmony to a world in great need'. It then trumpets what it says is based on Buddhist philosophy.
