Scamnesty comes to South Glos
A Scamnesty campaign, which aims to help end the scourge of mass marketed scam mailings, is running in South Gloucestershire this February.
We can fight the fraudsters by dropping scam mailings into designated Scamnesty bins - click below for a full list of locations.
Scamnesty will provide valuable new intelligence to the Office of Fair Trading and Trading Standards Services to help prevent others from being scammed.

Distraction Burglaries in South Glos
Trading Standards say heartless crooks are using the cold weather as a ploy to get into homes to steal cash and jewellery.
Latest reports received by the Police indicate that distraction burglars are claiming boilers and pipes need checking due to the recent freezing weather conditions.
South Gloucestershire Detective Inspector Richard Budd said: "Thankfully the simple step of never opening your door without the door chain does prevent this type of crime."
