Phone Scam Alert
We have been made aware of a new phone scam where the caller claims to be a local healthcare advisor and offers a free pendant alarm with a monitoring charge payable at the rate of £1.45 per day.
The victim is then asked for their card details to cover this small charge, but the product is not real, and the scammer keeps their details.
The Essex Police webpage below contains some useful information on how to protect yourself from these scams.
