Here at Home Instead South Cheshire, we can now offer Community Scam Awareness talks that educate people on the most common scams and provide advice on how to prevent you or your loved ones becoming a victim.
Sadly, older people are commonly a target for fraudsters, with a third of over 65’s believing they have been targeted in a purchase scam. Supporting older people in their own homes we have seen clients over the years targeted, receiving phone calls from people claiming to be from their bank, and having people knocking on their doors claiming to be there to help but having ill intentions.
Through our partnership with UK Finance, a trade association for the banking sector, Home Instead has developed an initiative to make people more aware of how scammers lure people people in, particularly ageing adults. We are keen to spread this knowledge across the community in a but to everyone the know-how to keep their older ones safe.
We can come along to your work place, business or community group to provide a session.
