The latest bulletin from Age UK’s Older Persons Scam Awareness & Aftercare Project [Issue 30]

We also provide updates on the current fraud alerts including:

Apple Pay failure text messages

Ongoing Energy Rebate scam

ECO4 boiler replacement scheme

Gift Card fraud

Also, just a reminder that we continue to offer one to one scam awareness sessions. If you’re aged 50+, live in the northern or eastern parts for Cheshire East and would like to talk more about your own situation and fraud, please contact our Scams Awareness & Aftercare Team on 01625 612958 or enquiries@ageukce.org. and these can be organised and delivered to you in the safety of your own home.
