Capitalism taints everything it touches even charity. "Indeed, the sector is very much a target for unscrupulous operators, whether they are diverting donations for relief missions for their own use or are sham clothes collectors depriving established charities and their shops of donated garments. ...Increasingly, charities use street collectors to encourage the public to donate regularly by direct debit. ..."There is an awful lot of personal information being given out," Dearman (PKF Accountants) says. There is a risk that fraudsters might impersonate street collectors and complete their own donor lists, complete with financial details, he cautioned." (Times, 2 October)
