Deaf peddlers

An American manual alphabet card, 2013

Deaf peddlers are Deaf people who sell to the wider public manual alphabet cards, keychains, nail clippers, pencils and pens,[1] national flags,[2][3] or receipts in various amounts, which they have printed themselves. In this peddling, the sellers claim that they are deaf, to manipulate or put pressure on the buyer.[4] Some "Deaf" peddlers fake their deafness in order to trick people.[5]

## United States

In the United States , the National Association of the Deaf made a campaign against Deaf peddlers, for improving the status of Deaf people as American citizens who are able in body and in mind.[6]
