wallcoatings.org.uk: The NPA home improvement & paint Blog.

I have just been alerted to a scam by a member of the public. The reason they alerted us is that the communication they received said NPA on it.

PLEASE BE ASSURED THAT IT IS NOTHING TO DO WITH OUR COMPANY, NPA INTERNATIONAL.

The scam takes the form of a mailshot leaflet or letter sent, mainly to targeted addresses of old age pensioners. It says they have won a lot of money and they need to send £10 pounds to claim it. DO NOT SEND THE MONEY, THIS IS A SCAM AND A CON!!!!!!!!!!!

Again I reiterate, it is nothing to do with us, and you must not send any money, in addition to remind the readers of our website, NPA does not send out any marketing communication in the post, we are internet only!

If you recieve this letter, please make sure you send it to your local trading standards office, the link is here
