Air ambulance warns of fundraising scam by publishers

Howard Lake | 21 December 2006 | News

The East Anglian Air Ambulance (EAAA) has warned local businesses of a fundraising scam in which companies receive invoices and threatening letters from a company that claims to sell advertising for an air ambulance in magazines.

Steve Whitby, the finance director of EAAA, told the Norwich Evening News: “It damages our reputation and makes our legitimate fundraising much more difficult. They are claiming they have a relationship with an air ambulance, but the Association for Air Ambulance Charities, which covers all 16 in England and Wales, knows nothing about it.”


Many of the invoices come from a company in the Wirral and they tend to demand £195.
