What is a fake? Well here’s one...
Incredibly, only one of these pandas is not a zookeeper..
Can you identify the faker?
On a more serious note, for a number of years unscrupulous conmen have been collecting clothing on the pretence that they are doing it for charity. Most households in Ireland have received flyers appealing for clothing to aid the poor in East European countries, help orphans or any other thing they can think of.
These flyers are usually delivered in the early hours of the morning when the flyer deliverer (spammer) has little chance of being seen. The flyer is a sticky label which the householder is asked to affix to a bag of unwanted clothing. These bags will be collected by unmarked vans in the early hours of the morning
In reality these charlatans are doing these collections to line their own pockets. They think householders are either stupid or don’t care. Do we really want strangers coming into our housing estates in the dead of night distributing flyers and collecting unwanted clothing.. is this the only way we have of getting rid of our clothes that don't fit us after operation transformation?
Fake charity clothes collection
Their website is real but has nothing to do with charity. It just contains links to legitimate retailers of clothing. Phone number does not work and no other contact info or company reg. number or waste collection permit number is provided.
So many causes, one for each day of the week it seems. At least they have a sense of humour warning about bogus collectors.
All we are short now is a flyer for Tuesday and we have the whole set !
