Dear Housholder,

Your unwanted clothes could really be benefit to someone

Yes, I know who the clothes would benefit ..

Identifying numbers and names: Tel: +353871214546, Waste Collection Permit Nr. CP D 915/6, WCP/KK/361/06, WCP/LK/415/06b, CK WMC 371/06, WCP MH/2006/72/B

These are the same guys as the clothingtheworld.com people. They didn’t even bother changing their permit numbers!

I actually saw a guy collecting the bags householders left out. He was driving a fairly battered navy blue Ford Transit, reg number 00 D 69166 as far as I remember. Unfortunately I didn’t have my camera or phone so no photo.

Here’s a fake charity I was looking forward to seeing. John Breslin left me a comment on my Do any real charities collect clothes post saying “clothingtheworld.com” were collecting in Galway. This morning one of their leaflets dropped into my porch. This fake charity was mentioned on a boards.ie thread too.

Go to Kildare Town on any Thursday (market day) and you will see these “people” taking the clothes out of the bags, putting them on hangers and onto a clothes rail to sell.

As they were kind enough to provide a website address (which doesn’t work), I was able to find out quite a bit from the whois information:

Registrant:
Donatas Mikalauskas
Tamney
Gormanstown Co Meath, -
IE

Domain name: CLOTHINGTHEWORLD.COM

Administrative Contact:
Mikalauskas, Donatas
Tamney
Gormanstown Co Meath, -
IE
+353.857419432

Even though the person who registered the domain lives in Co. Meath, the server is in Lithuania. The name, “Donatas Mikalauskas” isn’t very Irish either, so it’s likely he is Lithuanian.

Description: multi coloured sticker, with a prominent “HELP TO OTHERS” heading. Why can’t these people learn to write English proper?
