Think Jessica - Helping the Victims of Mail Scams

Like many of us, you no doubt get one or two pieces of junk mail through your door in a morning. What emotion does this evoke? Annoyance? Anger? Mild stress? All are entirely understandable. However, imagine if instead of a couple of takeaway menus, you received one hundred scam letters every day; each bombarding you with promises of money or threats.
Perhaps you think you'd be able to shrug this off in the belief that you could ignore the letters and they'd stop.
For many others, this bombardment of mail results in fear, severe financial difficulties and ultimately a decline in both physical and mental health. Chronic victims of scam mail end up being hounded by numerous criminal organisations and 3.5 billion pounds is 'scammed' from UK citizens each year.
Think Jessica aims to raise awareness of the dangers of scam mail, provide support to those who need help and push the government to create new legislation to protect those chronic victims who are over trusting, suffer from social isolation or declining mental health.
