The Sinister Path of Scam Mail
In support of Older Peoples Day which was held on 1 October 2015, the National Trading Standards Scams Team produced a diagram to demonstrate how scam mail reaches so many people. Please print the flyer and share with any vulnerable adults you know who may be at risk of being caught out. Encouraging people to question the mail they receive and not responding to it, will help protect them from being added to mailing or ‘suckers’ lists.
Please share it with anyone you know who might be at risk.

My thoughts are that Names and addresses lists should be outlawed. Whenever I can, I make sure I tick a ‘no’ box to avoid unsolicited mail, so I think no-one should be able to buy or sell lists. It’s definitely not in the public interest. It’s very sad to hear of older people who have been tricked into giving away huge sums of money, because they are unaware and/or too trusting. Is there anything about these lists which is of any help to anyone??
