Scams are nothing new, but they are getting more sophisticated, so it always worries us when we hear of a new one doing the rounds.
That is exactly what has happened in Tadcaster.
We have recently been made aware of a fraudulent letter claiming to be a bailiff company which has been posted through doors in the town.
Although many people feel embarrassed about falling for a scam, there is certainly nothing to be ashamed of. Many people fall for scams.
If you think something is a scam, don’t respond and delete or throw it away.
More information about scams and other fraud can be found on our website.
