Notice to Members
It has been brought to our attention that some people are scamming mainly ex-National Servicemen. The ex-serviceman is initially sent a letter advising them that they are entitled to a Service Pension and to contact the author. Once they do this they are then sent a letter with AMF headed paper (which has not been used for many years) asking for their bank details to put the service pension into, their date of birth and other personal information. Their bank accounts are then cleaned out.
