To help you beat the fraudsters, here are the top tips to avoid buying fake poppy merchandise online:

• be a ‘responsible buyer’ – buy from official channels and The Royal British Legion’s corporate partners. You can check them out here (https://www.britishlegion.org.uk/get-involved/partner-with-us/our-partners/)

• avoid cheaper priced products. If the price is too good to be true, it usually is

• the Royal British Legion works with a number of corporate partners. Only corporate partners are authorised by the Royal British Legion to sell poppy merchandise

• if in doubt, buy through The Royal British Legion or The Royal British Legion official eBay or Amazon pages – you will then be sure of the authenticity

Cllr David Griffiths, Armed Forces Champion, said: “It’s a very sad fact that people will try to make money out of other people’s good causes. The annual Poppy Appeal is no exception and I hope every penny that people donate to the armed forces, their families and veterans by buying a poppy finds its way into the hands of the Royal British Legion and not a fraudster.”

“What to do if you think you’ve spotted fake poppy merchandise”

Call Crimestoppers on 0800 555111 or report it online here if you spot anyone selling what you believe to be fake poppy products.

We have to make even more cuts…and ask taxpayers for more money. But before we do anything, we want to know what you think.

I WANT MY SAY!

NO…I DON’T WANT A SAY
