Low-Life Scammers Target Pensioner in Lewisham Covid Testing Con

An 83-year-old woman in Lewisham has fallen victim to a cruel scam, we can reveal. A fraudster knocked on her door claiming to be from health authorities, offering mandatory Coronavirus tests in the Lewisham Blackheath area.

Fake Covid Test Scam Hits the Elderly

These low-life crooks are preying on vulnerable pensioners, using the pandemic as cover to gain entry and rob houses. There is no official mass testing of elderly residents in Lewisham or Blackheath, so don’t be fooled.

Warning to Families and Neighbours

Warn elderly friends, relatives, and neighbours to never open the door to unexpected testers. If anyone knocks, advise them to call family or trusted contacts first. Criminals will try anything to get inside.

Police Urged to Act

The Met Police have been approached for comment on this disturbing scam. Meanwhile, stay alert and keep your loved ones safe from these ruthless scammers.
