Beware of Scams: Kesgrave Fun Day
Kesgrave Town Council warns residents about fraudulent social media posts and provides legitimate contact information for the Kesgrave Fun Day.
A Message from Kesgrave Town Council
Kesgrave Town Council has recently been made aware of social media posts promoting pitches for the upcoming Kesgrave Fun Day and, in some instances, requesting payment. We understand the excitement for our community events, but we must issue an urgent warning to all residents and potential stallholders to exercise extreme caution.
Please be advised: All official information regarding pitch availability and associated costs for the Kesgrave Fun Day will ONLY come directly from the Kesgrave Town Council office. Any requests for payment or booking information originating from other sources should be treated with extreme suspicion.
Protecting Yourself from Scams
Scammers often employ convincing tactics. Kesgrave Town Council urges you to consider the following advice to protect yourself and our community:
- Verify Sources: Always confirm the legitimacy of any offer by contacting the official organisation directly through their known and published contact details. Do not rely on contact information provided in suspicious posts or messages.
- Unexpected Requests: Be extremely wary of unsolicited messages, emails, or social media posts asking for personal information or immediate payments, especially if there's a sense of urgency.
- Payment Methods: Be cautious if you are asked to pay by unusual methods (e.g., bank transfer to an individual, gift cards) or to an individual's account rather than an official organisational account.
While Kesgrave Town Council works diligently to protect our community, residents play a vital role in identifying and reporting potential scams. If something feels wrong or too good to be true, it probably is.
