Scam Warning As Isle Of Wight Businesses Targeted

Scam Warning

Businesses on the Isle of Wight are being targeted by a phone scam claiming to involve St Mary's Hospital.

A business was approached by someone purporting to be from the Isle of Wight Council. The scammer tried to get the company to advertise his business in a brochure that would be raising funds for St Marys Hospital. 

Trading Standards says this is a common scam that can affect Island businesses.

The scammers play on your good nature and desire to do something for your local community, take your money and the brochure will never materialise.

If you have been affected by a scam you can report it to Trading Standards by emailing trading.standards@iow.gov.uk.
