INFORMATION

Title

JOHN CRAIG COMPLIMENT SLIP SCAM

Summary of contents

Letters are still being distributed and received by schools requesting compliment slips or letter heading to be sent to John Craig at Selby Road, Carshalton. It is claimed he is a seven year old with terminal cancer and the compliment slips are required to gain an entry into the Guinness Book of Records. Despite several warnings in the past, schools are still circulating this request.

If you receive one of these letters do not pass it on. It is not genuine, the child is not terminally ill, and he has been seven years of age since he came to our attention around 1990.
