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.
