Warning to residents after leaflets delivered in Malvern prompt scam concerns

Malvern Editorial 18th Jun, 2024   0

A WARNING has gone out to Malvern residents after some suspicious activity this week.

Two men were seen in St Bernard distributing leaflets offering to purchase a range of antiques, gold, silver, watches and other items.

They tell people to get in touch and they will get back to them in two to three days for a valuation.

Malvern Police Safer Neighbourhood Team said: “These types of leaflet drops have been known to have conned people, particularly the elderly, into selling potentially high value items for a drastically reduced price.”

They added people should call police on 101 with information so officers can check out their credentials.
