Help stamp out scams and fraud by taking part in CAB survey
Have you been scammed, or do you want to see action to stamp out common fraud and scams?
If so, Leatherhead and Dorking Citizens Advice Bureau wants to enlist your help in its campaign to foil scammers offering dodgy deals that cost people billions of pounds every year. The CAB is urging people to take part in a quick and simple anonymous online survey to find out what scammers are up to locally and which scams local people most want to see action against.
The survey highlights 10 common scams ranging from bogus job ads to phantom flats and fake lottery wins. It also asks about scams that trade on cold calling and ask for up-front fees for goods and services that fail to materialise, including loans and debt management, building work and event tickets. Some fraudsters even manage to extract bank card details from the people they target and go on to help themselves to money from their accounts.
For more information, and to take part in the survey, go to:

If you do not have access to the internet visit your local CAB office between 10 am and 1.00pm every weekday at either:
Lyons Court, Dorking RH4 1AB
or
The Georgian House, Swan Mews, High Street, Leatherhead KT22 8AE
