Warning issued as heartless fraudsters scam care homes with fake Christmas train ride experience Care homes across the country have been left devastated and issued warnings after being scammed out of hundreds of pounds by a fake company offering a Christmas train ride experience.
Haughgate House in Woodbridge, Suffolk, lost £100 after being approached by 'The Royal Train Ride' to set up the Christmas experience.
The fake firm, named 'The Royal Train Ride', emailed staff at homes over the summer offering them an 'enchanting' event.
However the website for the firm has been taken down and phone lines are out of order, with staff from affected care homes unable to get through.
The homes were expecting Christmas themed vehicles that residents could walk through.
