A warning about scam poppy appeals

Scam phone calls from people alleging they are collecting  donations for Royal British Legion for Remembrance Day seem to be happening. These are fraudulent attempts to get your banking details. Do not donate.

If you wish to donate,  Royal British Legion have Poppy stands in Waitrose and Tesco Stores in the area. These are genuine and often manned by military veterans.

On line there are also many fake websites selling “Poppy” brooches and the like claiming proceeds go to  RBL. These are fake.
