Getting sick of these Stickers coming in the door everyday in Dublin 12.

This one came today…

irish christianity programme for africa…
Phone 01 4443742 (does not work)
Mobile 086 5521496 (does not work)

Get them at all hours of the morning…
No stopping them at all…
All of this junk through the letterbox needs to be regulated or something…
No Junk mail sticker is ignored by Neighbours so we are not using one.

I live in Gorey Wexford and every 2nd day Im getting these ‘charity’ flyers and plastic bags and Im sick of it….I have asked them personally not to post anything in my letterbox, I have posted a ‘no junkmail’ sign, and my partner has waited for them (they always arrive b4 7am) and ‘had words!)…all to no avail…they just ignore us!! My answer is now going to be, leave a note outside thanking them for the ‘free’ rubbish bag as it saves me buying them and on the leaflets I will write that they have been reported to the local council and Gardai!…hope this works… but there are new ones popping up all the time…Thank God for this site so we can tell the difference between bogus and genuine charities!… Dee

I got an orange sticker in the door this morning from another company called Ukrainian, Belarusian Clothing collection Although its not the same registration numbers as listed above its IE6464590R. There is an email on it called developingworldclothing@gmail.com. If it was a charity that I could help I would but what got me suspicious was it was delivered to my house at 4.35am this morning. It actually woke me up from sleeping, and when I peered out the window there was no van or person in identification clothing as mentioned on the leaflet. I am concerned that they are delivering at that hour of the night

They are collecting in Over, Cambs, tomorrow. Probably in surrounding villages such as Longstanton, Willingham, Swavesey too.

insider – I don’t think they’re connected. “Do not delay” appear to be a legitimate charity in Lithuania but I still recommend giving to registered charities in your own country rather than one that isn’t.

Hi Kae, Hmmm, if you google for clothescollection@gmail.com email address, its some how connected to DO NOT DELAY again… Well clothingcollection in my opinion the same think as DO NOT DELAY. Best solution to check if the collection is genuine, to contact local council who is responsible for door to door collection licensing. If not licensed, call council or police.

Hi Donncha – clothingcollection.org is rendering as a blank page.

Whoever’s behind this is still up to it. I got a flyer here with the email address clothescollection@gmail.com which claimed to be for a company “Exported” with the apparent company reg number 370351 (which actually belongs to a Kerry company named Cois Uisce Management.

With a little more looking, I found they’re advertising on a Lithuanian jobs website: http://darbas-uzsienyje.com/index.php?option=com_tpjobs&task=detailcomp&id=2145&Itemid=150&lang=en

That gives us the mobile number +353857303030 but it also gives us a fax number, +353469091235
