Strangest scams of 2021

For every sophisticated scheme spun by scammers, there are more crazy attempts that can raise a smile. From the parcel prowler with pruning shears to a mysterious windfall from James Bond, here are the most peculiar scam attempts Which magazine came across last year. And there is an easy way to make them aware of scams directly with their scam sharer tool.

Road closure, Shoot-up Hill

‘BeeZee Bodies’ has been commissioned by Brent Council, through funding by Public Health England, to provide free weight management support for local families to make healthy changes to their lifestyle.

Recycling Xmas trees and cards

You can cut Xmas trees up and put in your green bin or take to local collection point (our nearest is Gladstone Park – Kendal Road entrance) until 9 Jan.

And recycle Xmas cards to Leslie Daisley’s charity (The Paul Daisley trust to raise awareness of colon cancer). She and her sister Caroline make them into new cards to sell in aid of the trust. Drop them off to me at 64 Teignmouth Road (leave in plastic bag outside door); or to Lesley Daisley at 11 Montrose Avenue.
