Don't think so Willy, there'll be more "Chuggers" than there are now by a long chalk.

wikipedia

Paid street fundraisers are sometimes known as chuggers because fundraising can be viewed as aggressive or invasive (a portmanteau of "charity" and "mugger").

Chuggers are usually young UK people , students etc who try to get people to donate to charities,Oxfam,British Red Cross etc.They work on commission,best to be avoided.
