The clothing scam.

How the hard-working immigrants are contributing to our economy. First print some leaflets which are worded to imply that the collection is for charity, say for example, that the clothes will be 'sent' to the third world.... not sold. Rely on the good nature of the English, always eager to help out where they can

Then simply drive around collecting all the bags

and fill your van up by before four in the afternoon.

Of course, sometimes you will have to tell an Englishman photographing you, in your broken English to stop it or else.... and be told that in England we will photograph whoever we like, whenever we like. The male of the scamming species will attempt to take the camera.... and be told just you try.

I do wish that people would use google to check these conning bastards.


SHC Collections Ltd..... ripping people off countrywide.

Another bunch of thieves are these.....

"The Charity Orphan & Community Aid UK"


Another speaker of broken English working hard.


A quick google gives this

Their accounts (pdf) show that he gave £4,224 to 'good causes' and trousered 10 times that for himself. A check with the local council revealed that no collection permit existed for this 'charity' and, on phoning the telephone number on the bag, the council official was told that they were making no collections and whoever it was doing the collection were doing it without their knowledge and were not acting on their behalf.

All this information was given to our local plastic plod, who was underwhelming in his grasp of things, he was phoned and told when the collection was in progress and the registration number of the vehicle: he seemed bemused that when they checked some one hour later " they couldn't see anyone. "

A suggestion that he might use the police computer system to search DVLA to find the registered owner and records from the ANPR cameras to track his movements fell on deaf ears.

I'm sure he thought that they had done their best.
