SCAM ALERT: TARGETING THE ELDERLY

We have been informed of a scam telephone call offering pendant alarm support to elderly people for £1.50 per day and asking for their bank details. They claim to have access to medical records and were nominated by their GP surgery due to their age and health condition. Instances have been reported in our area, as well as nationally.

Please share and communicate this to any elderly friends or relatives. Unfortunately, those who are most likely to end up victims of this type of scam are often the hardest ones to reach.
