Children in Need Scam
Not in our area yet, but just so you are aware;
Reports have been received concerning an individual who has been calling door-to-door in the Shoebury area claiming to be running for Children in Need and asking for sponsorship up front. He is unable to provide any paperwork, when challenged.
Please be on your guard. As far as is known he has so far been unsuccessful in obtaining any money. Lets keep it that way. Any sightings etc should be reported to the police immediately on 0300 333 4444. No description currently available except he is male, white and in his 20s
