Business Owners Beware!
If you are being contacted by companies demanding payment for some advertising publishing they say you agreed to several months ago (especially if the related publication is for charity) you may be suffering from what is essentially a scam call. (Usually booklet or wallchart)

Registered charities – Same Scam Script
Posted on July 29th, 2009 5 commentsThis week I have had several reports from concerned visitors who have had calls from verifiable registered charities with proper charity registration numbers and website’s; that are cold calling but using the same “scam script”.
Usually supporting “disabled kiddies” and want you to pay for a “little mention” in their “booklet”.

Lord Dr. Buck Rogers (not a real Lord) is claiming to operate a charity called ” Action against child cruelty in orphanages worldwide “. This is a scam, this “charity” is not registered in the UK or in the USA.

Hi Suzy,
I have not heard of that company.
Does their phone calls, fit the theme of the complaints on this site?If you are certain it is a scam, ignore them it wont go to court.

hi suzy
i have heard of them but i am not sure they are ligit trying to work that out myself -
Just a ‘heads up’…. I think the folks with Corrie accents may be trying one or two new slants on our favourite scams. I’ve recently had calls along the lines of “We can get you registered on Google…”, and today’s little effort about an NHS magazine going into schools and hospitals. Be vigilant guys!!!
