Some might say we get more than enough genuine charity bags through the door, but at least anything we donate is going to a good cause.
A label came through my door – and others in the area too – that gives every appearance of being a complete scam.
This claims to be from “ASTHMA charity”. There’s no such organisation as far as I know, there’s no address, website or charity number. The email address is from gmail – anyone could have set it up.
The label claims it has authorisation from the local council – not true.
I’ve contacted Trading Standards, who in turn have contacted the police.
Please – only donate to genuine charities with a genuine charity number.
