Leigh-on-sea residents be aware of new scams

January 30, 2025

Please be aware of new scams:- United Airlines, DVLA, Winter Fuel Payment, Electoral Registration, Booking.com. While a lot of fraud is now happening online as it is easier, cheaper, you can reach a lot of people quickly, and there is less chance of getting caught, please remember that fraud can happen in person, right on your doorstep.
