Community alert.
Citizens Advice Reigate & Banstead is joining Surrey media to warn residents about the risks of online and other scams.
The alert is based on CA research showing Redhill 4th highest in a national league table of reported fraud cases.
Elaine Parr, Chief Executive Citizens Advice Reigate & Banstead, said
“Getting scammed can cost you dearly. Fraudsters have plenty of tricks up their sleeves so Redhill residents can’t be too vigilant. Anyone who would like a second opinion about an offer they’ve received should contact us on 03444 111 444 or Citizens Advice consumer service. If anyone suspects they’ve been a victim, they should go straight to Action Fraud.”
During July Citizens Advice has also been working with Trading Standards Surrey on a joint anti-fraud campaign. Learn about the most common scams and top tips to stay safe here: Scams Awareness Month.
