A CHARITY is warning people to beware of bogus collectors.

In the past month, three men have visited homes in Bromley Common saying they are collecting for the Royal National Institute of the Blind (RNIB).

One resident, who gave the trio money "to get rid of them", became suspicious by their agressive approach.

This has led the charity to warn people not to give the men money.

Finance and operational support manager for the RNIB, Rachel Murphy, said: "It's sad they are doing this just to get money for themselves."

Worried residents should call the RNIB fundraising enquiry line on 0845 3450054.
