Warning: Fake NHS Fundraiser Ripping Off Eastbourne Residents
Beware! A sharp-dressed man sporting an NHS lanyard has been knocking on doors around Eastbourne, claiming to raise cash for a new hospital helipad. He’s been asking people to hand over bank details on an iPad for monthly donations.
Scam Alert: No Such Fundraiser Exists
Friends of Eastbourne Hospital and Friends of Conquest Hospital have slammed the approach as a total fraud. They confirmed there is no helipad fundraiser and would never collect donations door-to-door like this.
“Never give your bank details to strangers, no matter what they claim,” warned Friends of Eastbourne Hospital. The message is loud and clear — stay sharp and don’t fall for this trick.
Protect Vulnerable Locals from Fraud
The hospital friends’ groups fear elderly and vulnerable residents could be easy targets for these scammers. They urge everyone to stay alert and share the warning far and wide.
