Sue Holderness, aka Only Fools and Horses’ Marlene Boyce, turned bingo caller for UK Finance’s Take Five to Stop Fraud campaign at an event in collaboration with Age UK Manchester this week.
The ‘Scam Bingo’ event was designed to help educate and support people to protect themselves against common fraud and scams.
The game transforms some traditional ‘bingo lingo’ to help people watch out for approaches from fraudsters, for example:
- Knock at the door #4 Ignore suspicious requests for your personal and financial information
- Unlucky for some #13 Don’t let criminals get lucky with your money
- Up to tricks. #46 Criminals will use tactics to con you into making an ‘urgent’ payment
