Don’t be taken in!
We regret to say that lottery scams are still doing the rounds in Hall Green (and, we also regret to say, people are still being taken in by them) as are bogus letters, phone calls and emails falsely claiming to be from a bank and other despicable deceits.
Never give any caller your bank details - even if they’re promising to throw in the Eiffel Tower! If it seems too good to be true then you can be sure that it won’t be true!
We also advise not doing business with unsolicited callers at the door. Elderly people are particularly vulnerable to overcharging - or worse. So make it a rule to say no to cold calling whatever form it may take!
