POLICE in Ross-on-Wye are warning those connected with the wedding industry that a scam is being staged on social media.

The scammer is suggesting that a Wedding Fayre is being held at the Lea Village Hall.

Police Community Support Officer Claire Denton said: “This is a scam - there is no wedding fayre and the originator of this scam just wants to get your money! “

The notice is currently circulating on a number of Facebook groups across Wales and England and has been spotted locally on Monmouth Free Ads Group.

West Mercia Police states that the scammer is trying to sell spaces at the event in October for £70 and states that there will be no more than one pf the same type of supplier.
