Came across a Stall erected outside Boots yesterday claiming to be a Registered Charity for Injured Servicemen. They had a Placard with a Registered Number on it. Hubby recognised it to be a Company Registration Number not a Charity Registration. A quick Google had it listed as a Business Address in Stoke. Hubby tackled them they said they were a non Profit making Company! Laughable. We went to the Police Station to report them. The Police Station is now run by Civilians who are paid to get rid of you. Despite our request to speak to a Police Officer which was ignored we were given a Leaflet to Report it to Action Fraud On Line. We checked the Rogue Stall again but they had fled the scene, gone! Surely someone within the Council check these Street Traders? Seems like anyone can pitch up a Stall in Stafford and claim to be a Registered Charity. Just wanted to warn everyone to be careful who you donate to in the Street.
