Fake Charity Scammers Target Gloucester with Cancer Leaflets

Beware, Gloucester! A supposed kids’ cancer charity called Salubriousperiodicals.co.uk is hitting the streets—but don’t be fooled. These scammers are pretending to collect donations but are actually “selling” leaflets for a suggested price.

How the Scam Works

They claim the leaflets contain vital info on cancer-causing foods and nutrition tips. Sounds legit, right? Wrong.

They roam around town shouting phrases like, “Spare some change for kids’ cancer awareness,” trying to trick generous passersby into handing over cash.

Pretending to Be Official

Armed with buckets and fake ID, they sure look the part. But don’t be deceived — these aren’t genuine collectors from a registered charity.

The Ugly Truth

Salubriousperiodicals.co.uk is just a private company, not a charity. They dodge charity laws by “selling” leaflets instead of asking for donations.

Bottom line: Keep your wallet shut and don’t give these scam artists a penny.
