    I find the lack of a specific house number for the person said to be running it, the letter arriving in a printed business type envelope and the template typed letter a bit - well - disturbing.
    I'd find it a bit disturbing too ..... and I'd hesitate to join (it'd go in my bin through not having the b4lls to just do it).

    There are a lot of people posting about these within 5 miles of where I live, all "concerned", but then they're always told it's legit.

    Got an invite last year, looked around, seemed fairly useless.

    There are buy and sell / noticeboard groups on Facebook for most areas and these do a far better job. Our town noticeboard has 18000 members so if you need a trade or someone sees something suspicious, there is a fast response and it’s instant to join.
