Police are appealing to anyone who has been the victim of a serial con-woman to contact police.  

The 18-year-old Hounslow woman is known to have approached victims in Chiswick, Ealing and Acton at their homes, presenting to them a sponsorship form purporting to be supported by charities for local good causes. She would ask for money supporting her own walk or run in aid of the said charity and ask those donating the money to sign the form and put in the amount donated.  

The suspect would then move on to other homes in the vicinity, presenting the same form with the names of neighbours who had already donated. 

Anyone who feels they may have been deceived in this way can contact Hounslow Crime Squad on 020 8247 5940. Mention this site when making your report.
