The purpose of this scams bulletin is to enable Hampshire residents to be aware, and therefore guard against, the types of scams currently being reported to Hampshire County Council’s Trading Standards service.

Trading Standards will collate information on scams to provide information and intelligence to the public and other agencies but will normally only intervene when the victim is vulnerable and has been financially abused.

In appropriate cases Trading Standards will also seek to take enforcement action through the courts.
