Did he have any "official" deaf olympic literature? Is there a local chapter you could call and ask if they had any members in your neighborhood soliciting donations? If he didn't leave you a receipt or anything, you might have a reason to wonder if he was legit.

Something else he could do to take you for more than $20 is to "wash the check." That's when a person washes off what is written in the TO: line and the AMOUNT: lines with a solvent... then after drying it and ironing it flat, makes it out to them and for another amount.
