Dear Watch Member,
Free Call blockers for people living with Dementia
The Department of Culture Media & Sport provided funding to the National Trading Standards Scams Team for call blockers to tackle the issue of nuisance calls. The current focus is on protection of consumers with dementia.
The public launch will go live on the 6th November 2017. On this date free call blockers will be available to any person living with dementia that is currently receiving scam or nuisance calls. We are asking for your support to publicise this initiative and also to help us identify anyone that may qualify and benefit from having a call blocker.
To get a FREE call blocking device YES should be answered to the following 1. Do you or the person you are applying for receive nuisance and scam calls? 2. Does the person who would like the call blocker have dementia? If you answered yes to the above then please apply at www.friendsagainstscams.org.uk/callblocker
The units available are trueCall Secure units and more information about the units can be found at https://www.truecall.co.uk/product-p/tcs.htm
