If you think you spot anyone from a supposed 'good cause', check them out and if not happy,contact your local trading standards.

Some of these people were recently seen in Hampshire, and across the South.

Cheers

Also worth mentioning the old favourite "donate old clothes" bags that come through letterboxes. Some are legitimate but I've also seen ones where, if you read a little further, you find that they're not a charity but sell the clothing on rather than giving it away to people who need it. In other words they're making money from people who think they're donating to a good cause.

Oh they'd be gutted with us...

Tend to use those bags for the cat litter.

My brother had a couple of them when he moved into his new flat.

They came in very handy for bagging all the junk mail!  :lol:
