The Institute of Charity Fundraising Managers (ICFM) has issued a warning in its
printed members newsletter about a Mr Freedman who has approached a charity with
the intention of obtaining the organisation’s bank account details.
Mr Freedman 
said he was a director of a company called European Pallas Group and that he wished
to make a company donation.

ICFM was careful to point out that this approach might be entirely innocent, but“
the provision of your banking details is privileged information and might well lead
to a potential breach of security for funds held therein.”
