Scam alert- so spread it far and wide. There is a publishing company cold calling local businesses reporting to represent local VicSES Volunteers seeking advertising $.
To be clear they do not represent us and any money spent on advertising does not support your local SES IN ANY WAY!!

My businesss received a call from them this morning. So i felt i needed to warn others.

VicSES Head Office is legally seeking ways to stop them from doing this.

As many people will be travelling over the holidays, we’d like to remind everyone to please take extra care on the roads:

- Slow down and drive to conditions
- Never drive tired or under the influence
- Buckle up and make sure everyone in the vehicle is wearing a seatbelt
- Watch out for increased traffic, especially on rural roads

Our volunteers are always ready to respond if needed, but we’d much rather everyone get home safely without incident.
