How to stay Scam Safe

If you receive a dazzling letter, do not respond (Not even to say that, you know its a scam!) 

Once your name is on a "suckers" list, the only way to stop receiving scam mail is to stop responding!

Redirection of  the mail to a relative or trusted person is the best way of helping someone like Jessica, our DVD has proven to be very effective in getting "stubborn"  victims to  realise that  this is the right thing to do.

Never send cash, disclose personal details or buy goods to claim a prize!

If you receive a suspicious phone call.

Remember, you do not have to get into any discussions over the phone with anyone, never give out personal information such as bank and credit card details. These could be used fraudulently.

Keep your business, your business.

Just say “No thank you, I am not interested” then hang up straight away.
