Clothing scam?

Do you get those annoying leaflets through the door made to look like requests to donate clothes to charity, except they're not charities....... I get them every once in a while and I'm getting bored of them so I thought I'd run the latest one past you to see what you think:

It came through in the shape of a heart saying "We regularly donate children's homes and support charity organisations" giving the web address www.rootscompany.eu (which doesn't go anywhere). If you're fed up of them too then they put a phone number on it........ 07932095540

Hi
Yes, this came through my door in Mitcham recently. Having heard an article about the scam merchants doing this, they suggested looking for a registered charity number. I am going to post your findings through the door of my neighbours telling them this is a scam. Thanks for the info!

Hi
They have surfaced yet again - this time in Hayes!!! Strangely was watching 'The Real Hustle on BBC3 and they were talking about these kind of scams! Clothes then sold on in shops as VINTAGE!!! Surely something can be done about this - ITS JUST SO VERY WRONG!!!

Hi.
Just received the red heart through the letterbox. I live in Greenford and we are inundated with leaflets on a daily basis sometimes more than one a day. Please can you advise what action can be taken to stop this nuisance. I do not mind given to genuine collectors such as Help the Aged but this not to crooks.

Leaflets delivered to Nazing, Essex.
