Valerie Kelly, chief executive of Citizens Advice Gosport, said: ‘Knowing how to spot a scam is the best line of defence against being scammed.

‘While scammers will always use tactics like cut-price deals and pressure selling to draw people in, there are more ways for scammers to reach people with different bogus offers.

‘People will be able to take away a few key tips from the event which will help protect them against a range of different scams.

‘People are reluctant to talk about scams; we want to bring the issue out into the open.’
