Crime Commissioner launches the Be Scam Wise Campaign
The Scam Wise campaign was showcased at two events – one for front line workers who may come into contact with elderly and vulnerable people – and another attended by Lancashire’s neighbourhood watch co-ordinators and volunteers.
The new campaign has a brand new and eye-catching logo, designed to highlight the Scam Wise presence within the community and show criminals that their potential victims are clued-up and aware of scammers operating in Lancashire.
Window stickers, posters, booklets and leaflets are now circulating amongst residents across Lancashire and are being showcased as a source of early intervention and prevention of crime.
