  • Mail order customers were victims of 'scam'

    Mail order letter

    Inside Out meets the victims of a mail order scam who believed they were the sole winner of cheques worth thousands of pounds.

    They received letters from Hampshire-based company Emery of Romsey, congratulating them on winning cash prizes.

     

    The parent company behind the letters is Agence de Marketing Appliqué, based in Belgium, but it relies on Emery to process the orders.

     

    Emery collects the cheques and sends out the products - it also disposes of the desperate letters from confused customers.

     

    The company is run by father and son Nick and David Gebbett. Inside Out's Jon Cuthill asked David Gebbett for his response to the allegations.

     

    The National Fraud Intelligence Unit says it is keen to take action against third parties who work with companies that operate to deceive members of the public.
