West Sussex PPI Scam

There has been a recent increase in scam PPI calls.

People are being telephones by scammers posing as the ministry of justice and then being and told that they qualify for a refund on payment protection insurance.

The scammer then says. in order for the claim to be processed, you need to pay a percentage of your payout up front and that this should be in the form of UKASH vouchers. They then send a courier to attend the home address of the victim and collect the in order to claim the money.
These scammers may call on more than one occasion and will be persuasive or persistent.

The elderly seem to be the most targeted and police are asking if you know of any elderly residents who may not receive messages through community messaging that you inform them to be vigilant of this type of scam.
