Beware of 2 young girls collecting money

[Confusionism]

Beware of 2 young girls knocking doors around Peckham/East Dulwich collecting money for schools in Jamaica and Ghana. They claim to be collecting on behalf of St Martins in the Fields Academy and it seemed like a lovely idea, however, I was suspicious as I thought it was very irresponsible for a school to be putting young girls in this position

Turns out they are conning people and the school were totally unaware of this scam. PLEASE DO NOT GIVE THEM ANY MONEY

When I confronted them they ran off but I could see from the signatures on the letter that they had already collected around ?60

School has been notified

I teach at that school and it stopped supporting that charity a couple of years ago and would not raise money that way.

Yeah I spoke to someone in the school today and she made it very clear that they were no longer collecting for that charity and hadn't been for a few years. Still it hasn't stopped them using the school name for their little scam, they were even still in their uniforms

I feel sorry for the people who were duped by these incredibly dishonest girls. They've actually called at my house 3 times over the last 2 weeks so have clearly been at this for a while now

It's in the hands of the school now

Not just in the hands of the school, but hopefully parents have a part to play in not knowing where their children are after school?
