Sussex Police is urging residents to be on their guard against scam mail sent to con people out of money.
The warning comes as part of the Office of Fair Trading's national Scamnesty month which runs throughout February and is supported by Sussex Police and the county's Trading Standards teams.
Chris's father, who is in his 90s, was making regular money transfers via MoneyGram and Western Union at Post Offices and high street travel agents. He was being bombarded daily with masses of mail and telephone calls from scamsters fraudulently demanding money.
Police became involved after the Post Office alerted officers to the unusual amount of money the victim was sending abroad. Chris's father has now ceased sending money.
