Alan Bruzon, chief officer at Eastbourne CAB, said: “Unfortunately, we’ve seen an increase in scams since the beginning of the pandemic, so it’s good to be thinking about the steps you can take to help protect friends and family.
“Common scams we’re seeing are about bogus testing kits, coronavirus vaccinations and government refunds or fines. You should watch out for messages about coronavirus from unusual email addresses or phone numbers, and shouldn’t click on any links.
“Be aware that you won’t be asked to pay for coronavirus vaccinations - they are provided for free by the NHS.”
