A Bulletin from your Local Advice Service

Citizens Advice BureauAt Monmouth Citizens Advice Bureau we aim to provide the advice people need for the problems they face and to improve the policies and practices affecting people’s lives. Based in Monmouth since 1968, you can now find us behind the library at 23a Whitecross Street NP25 3BY. The Bureau is open to members of the public Monday to Thursday from 10am to 2pm. Alternatively, the Citizens Advice service can be accessed by telephoning Adviceline Wales on 08444 77 20 20 or visiting www.adviceguide.org.uk for round-the-clock access to CAB information on your rights – including benefits, housing and employment, and on debt, consumer and legal issues.

A Client’s Story:

An elderly lady with a hearing difficulty received a “cold call” from a company subsequently identified as Sera Wellbeing. She was asked a number of questions about her health and agreed to buy a bottle of tablets described as a supplement for cancer sufferers at a cost of £18. She gave her Visa Debit card number in payment. A week later the lady received delivery of a box containing 11 bottles of tablets, invoiced at £167.50. She asked her bank to contact the company on her behalf to request a refund, but the bank were only able to arrange a partial refund and the lady now felt that she did not want to accept any of the delivery as she felt she had been mislead.

The lady came to Monmouth CAB where we checked her rights and contacted Sera Wellbeing, requesting a total refund. We helped her to repackage and despatch the goods and two weeks later the client returned to the bureau to say that the money had been refunded to her bank account.

Correspondence from the CAB written on the client’s behalf is often effective when an individual approach has been ignored or a request refused.

We are currently collecting data on nuisance “cold calls” so if you have had a similar experience and require help, please call in to one of our drop in sessions.

This month’s top tips:

How do you get your cash back after some sweet talking person takes advantage of OAP

Read the post above yours as it may apply to your local CAB.

Do also write directly to the directors of this company - you can contact them directly via these facebook links below. I'm sure you'll get a refund relatively quickly. Tell them Opijni says hello. Good luck and do let us know how you get on.

The face behind this scam:

We can see the hungry look in their eyes.

My Mother (old but not usually easily conned) was conned by this company, who managed to get her card details and sent goods totalling £220, which she certainly did not order . They claim they will refund and the goods have been returned, but I we are also requesting a refund for the postage which they are refusing. This company is purely a Scam - do not get involved, an ideally report them to local trading standards if possible

Just got a call from a person calling himself David.
He knew my name & was calling about health ,needless to say I hung up quickly, if only these fraudsters could be caught.
How they are still getting away with it is beyond me.
As I was scammed by Natura Healthcare, one of their many scams I will continue to report unwanted calls.
We have the NHS to rely on so stop hounding us with your misleading advice, what you're doing could be dangerous,messing with people's health, not that you probably care ,all you're after is money.

The beggars phoned on this number at 10.04

My 79 year old mum, who suffers with dementia had a call from this number today asking her lots of questions, she did not know the answers to some of them ad put the phone down on the caller, who immediately called her back to continue his line of questioning - luckily for my mum her carer was there at the time and witnessed the call and took over the call from my mum and told the caller NOT to ring again.  The carer then called me either the number and I called it myself to ascertain how they had got hold of my mums telephone number to which they replied "from a national database" I told them to remove my mums number and not to call gear again......we will see! These people are unscrupulous despicable individuals who are preying on innocent, vulnerable people for their own gain.

My 83 year old mother with mild dementia has been cold called to spend £83.50 on 5 very small containers of Rosip and Xcell, she hadn't a clue what they were when they arrived and on her poly pharmacy I would hate to think that if I hadn't stopped her what interactions there might have been..Wish me luck in getting a refund !!!

Your an idiot

I agree, notice how they have not replied since their nasty scam has been exposed? They are not only idiotic, but cowardly too.

A polite lady with an Asian accent called this morning saying she was calling about a Health Awareness Programme for the over 50s.  I asked where she got my number, and she said form the database.  When I asked her which one, she said the NHS.  I asked her for her phone number, but she queried why I wanted it, so I put the receiver down beside the phone.  Due to the pauses beween my answering her, and her speaking, I knew she wasn't in the UK.

Next time they call ask them how the weather is in Goa - that's where they are calling you from.

Got a call from 01797335071 polite lady who spoke broken English - not happy when I told her not interested.  Another of these pest calls which no one seems to be able to block.

You can block the calls on your own.       There is no authority over such calls in this country, so really it is left to those of us who do not want nuisance calls to protect ourselves.   You need to get yourself a call blocker.       Have a look at the internet and you will easily find them.

This company called my 86 year old father despite him being registered for TPS. He spent £125.50 with them on celery tablets. Registered TPS for this very reason. I have managed to get a refund of £100 although it cost £7.50 to return the tablets.
Following his purchase he then received a call asking if he would like to have a wet room fitted as they understand he has mobility problems!! How did they Know I wonder?
