Default Got any spare phone cash (OT)

Hi

I have one of those odd mobile contracts where I pay 15.00 a month up
front and in exchange they allow me to make up 34.00 of calls or
texts. It suits me because when I had a pay as you go phone I spent
pretty much 15,00 a month anyway- most months I go nowhere near the
limit

This month I plan to- outside the kiosk by my local tube station
there's a poster at first it looks like an alleyway with some bags of
rubbish at the end of it then you notice the right hand side of the
poster is filled with photo's of kittens including a black baby with
blue eyes who looks like Dunzi as a kitten and the message is
"Discarded. Text Kitten to 88222 so we can give unwanted kittens a
second chance"

It's an appeal for the Cats Protection League- you text to the number
and the text costs 3.00 but 2.00 goes to the CPL for their kitten
rescue programme

Well I don't usually use the surplus on my phone so they are very
welcome to it. You also then get a text message with a URL you can go
to to fill in a gift aid declaration so they get forty pence on top

Just if anyone in the UK has some spare on their phone or for that
matter wants to just contribute

Be very careful about this. It does not sound like something CPL would do,
have you checked with them that it's legit? It sounds like a scam to me.

Not a scam, it's actually genuine.
