Yesterday, I was appalled to get one of those charity clothes collection dockets claiming to be for Breast Cancer. This one even has a web site, linking back to what may or may not be a genuine breast cancer charity in Lithuania.
I did a search on the internet and it comes up under scams, and indeed links back to a UK Company, whose business is the wholesale trade of clothing and footwear. There were a fair number of complaints in the UK about it and the leaflet is very misleading and does not list that it is a company, or even what or where (any) donations are made to.
To whom should I complain?
If it is a scam, I think its time that these people were stopped.
What law did they break?
What deception is involved?Trying to gain from another by way of deception.
Well, from dictionary.com, to deceive means "to mislead or falsely persuade others", so if I leave out a bag of clothes in the belief that they are going to be distributed among needy people, but in fact they are sold on rather than given to the people I intended, then I have been deceived.What deception is involved?
