A pensioner has taken a stand against a new scam that has reached south Essex.
Valerie Moore, of Pitsea, was shocked when she received a chain letter asking her to send £10 to a Mr Barton, in Gillingham, Kent. The letter tells Mrs Moore if she does so money will come flooding through her letterbox.
Mrs Moore said: "I decided that I would speak out against the scam as vulnerable people might respond."
