Clothing Collection Scam

[WTC]

SHS or SHC ‘We urgently need clothing’ scam.


We had a plastic bag posted through our letter box today from a company called SHS collections. They appear at first to be a charity collecting clothes for the third world but on closer inspection they ‘provide people in third world countries with clothes they can afford’. A wee bit different!!!!

On the bag outer it misspells schemes, spelling it shemes.
It also has Company Reg. 06437255 on the outside. This alludes to the fact that it’s a charity. It is not. It is a profit making limited company.

Also the email address is a hotmail account. But not SHS collections. SHC.

Anyone can set up a hotmail account.

Please beware and use known local charity collectors.

A google search reveals a scam.

We are not alone………………
