Fraud and Scam Awareness Event - Margate : Wed 11 Nov 10:00

Dear Resident,

I'm pleased to be attending a Fraud and Scam Awareness Event at Age UK Millmead Community Centre, Margate, where I will be providing fraud prevention advice and information on the latest scams affecting our communities.

📅 Wednesday 11th November
⏰ 10am to 2pm
📍 Age UK Millmead Community Centre, Dane Valley Road, Margate, CT9 1RU

Have you ever asked yourself:

❓ Would I recognise a scam?
❓ Is a loved one being targeted by fraudsters?
❓ Does an offer seem too good to be true?
❓ What should I do if I've lost money to fraud?

If so, this event is for you.

Come along to learn how to spot the warning signs of fraud, hear about current scam trends, and discover practical steps you can take to protect yourself, your family and your finances.

I will be available throughout the event to answer questions and provide advice on a range of fraud types, including:

✅ Telephone scams
✅ Courier fraud
✅ Romance fraud
✅ Investment fraud
✅ Online shopping scams
✅ Banking and impersonation scams

Remember the ABC of Scam Awareness:

🔹 Never Assume a caller, texter or emailer is genuine.
🔹 Never Believe everything you're told.
🔹 Always Confirm who you're dealing with using a trusted method.

Whether you've been affected by fraud, are worried about someone else, or simply want to learn more about staying safe, please come along and have a chat.

I look forward to meeting members of the local community and helping keep residents safe from fraud and scams.
