Help the forces

brokenant

Had a call from them today. Pay them a few hundred quid and I can give my best wishes to the armed forces in the diary they produce, seems to be a new theme of a well known scam.( http://www.advertisingprotectionagency.org/sample-1.php )
If anyone knows if its legit please let me know.

Also the bloke said they are supporting a certain hospital for injured soldiers and a link to them can be found on the hospitals website, quell surprise I couldn't find a link.

Help the forces dot co dot UK.

Our company has been approaced by this organisation and personally I think it is definitely a scam.

Whilst we're at it, just for reference/completeness - TAPA (The advertising protection agency) are not the Advertising Standards Agency, and are a commercial company. Useful info on their site, but not to be mistaken with the ASA, TPS, etc which are non-commercial.

"best wishes to the armed forces" -- there, I did it and it didn't cost me a penny.

And if I do want to do more there are plenty of well known charities who would make good use of my gift.

If you want to give money to the forces, for either business or personal, Help for Heroes are one of the leaders. I'd tell these chaps to kindly go forth and multiply.
