July: Free webinars about scams

Fraudsters are trying to trick us out of our money and possessions more now than ever before. The best way to avoid falling victim to a fraudster is to be aware of the the methods used.

Here is a scam which is going around Lambourn at the moment:
Beware motorhome owners, there is an man going around the village asking if you want to sell your motorhome for his father in Ireland, well dressed, Hugo Boss sweatshirt, driving a smart transit type van. There have been a lot of thefts recently due to huge demand for Motorhomes.
