Fiona Bruce MP is working to tackle 'Scam Mail'

Fiona Bruce MP is working to tackle Scam Mail


Fiona Bruce MP said:
 “I am outraged on behalf of often elderly and frail constituents that under present procedures this mail cannot be stopped. I know of at least one constituent who, and whose family have suffered gravely as a result. Together with a group of other MPs, I am appealing to Government to protect the most vulnerable in our society, some of whom are are mercilessly and repeatedly preyed upon with a stream of demanding letters. Also, if someone does respond to one of these scams not only do they risk losing money but their details are being sold on to other unscrupulous scammers. If any constituents have any example of such mail, I am collating this with other MPs to add to the range of evidence we have already collected, so if you are concerned about a friend or family member who has a problem with scam mail, please get in touch.”

Fiona Bruce MP has already had scam mail sent to her from constituents and encourages others who have been affected to hand in or send their scam mail so that action can be taken against these scam agencies.

The Cheshire based MP has been looking to collect evidence of scam mail and has put a box in her office:
