My son has been asked to collect the weight of a girls wheelchair in green bottle tops, a charity will then provide a super electric wheelchair for the disabled girl. I have since been told that this is a scam and has been around for some time. is this the case?

where do they still make bottle tops like that? if its through school and they didnt send anything home, then its a scam..........
why would he do that anyway-- all the milk you buy for the bottle caps would cost more then the wheelchair alone. and why doenst the disabled girl have a wheelchair? thats pretty f--ked up. .

bottle tops are made of aluminium metal if you save enough then is worth a lot of money, i save it for the next blue peter appeal, or the local school, it sounds true call the charity help line or the council they have a list of all the working charitys, good luck

I saved bottle tops for someone at my college! I don't see how it could be a scam as, well, what on earth could a scammer do with all the bottle tops?

No, this is just another ridiculous "urban legend".
