Beware of Cold Callers

OWL

Dear Watch Member,

We have received reports of cold callers offering to jet wash driveways in the Pinner area, so this seems like an apt opportunity to remind residents how to protect themselves from fraudsters.

Fraudsters convince you to pay for goods or work which is often overpriced, of poor quality or is not even carried out. In many cases, this work isn’t even necessary. They may use intimidation and pressure you to make quick decisions so that you agree to their demands.

As a rule, never accept offers of work from cold callers. Legitimate labourers and companies do not cold call and should have professionally printed leaflets with contact details to give to potential customers.

For advice on how to protect yourself from door-to-door scammers, please read pages 25 and 26 of the attached ‘Little Book of Big Scams’, which also includes advice about numerous other scams to be aware of.
