Consumers lose £5 to 10 billion every year to internet, ‘phone & door-to-door scams. Hadlow Down Online aims to create as much awareness as possible via the Village Web Site, Bulk emailed Newsletters, Email Alerts, the Village Facebook Group and Parish Magazine. ‘Friend Against Scams’ news and alerts will be included in the Neighbourhood Watch pages of the Village Web Site listing all current and recent scams as well as offering advice on what action should be taken when you think you may be a victim of a scam or have been targeted by scammers.
We welcome all input from villagers regarding scams they receive or know of in order that we can make more people aware of those currently ‘doing the rounds’. Please email details to webadmin@hadlowdown.com headed ‘Scam Alert’.
