Charity Collector Sells For Profit (from Barnet Times): "�Charity collector� sells for profit
By Times Group
A company which runs door-to-door clothing collections, which it says are for charity, actually sells the items for profit, according to Brent and Harrow Trading Standards.
Kosta Ltd delivers leaflets and plastic sacks to homes across the borough of Harrow, soliciting donations of goods which it says will help poor families in eastern Europe.
A few weeks ago, the trading standards department warned residents not to be fooled by Kosta's charity collections' and referred the company's leaflets to the Advertising Standards Authority, which told the company the wording was misleading and ordered it to be more honest."
