Fake Charity Collection Scam

I am constantly amazed at the depths some people will descend to in order to make money! Established in 1988, Acorns Children's Hospice Trust is a registered charity offering a network of care for over 500 life limited and life threatened children and young people and providing support for their families across the heart of England. These children and young people are not expected to reach adulthood and require specialist care 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Acorns is the only organisation that provides this level of care to these vulnerable youngsters whilst offering a range of support services to the whole family to help them cope at every stage of their child's life and beyond into bereavement. One of their means of income is via collection of unwanted clothing. Some despicable scam artists have made very similar looking plastic bags and are collecting the clothes that people had intended to go to Acorns! I hope that they catch the responsible people and lock them up for a long time!
