| We have received reports of traders cold calling elderly or vulnerable residents and using pressure tactics to get them to agree to have work done. The offenders have offered to clear moss from roofs, clean guttering and pressure wash drives. They insist of being paid in cash, often before they start any work, which may be unnecessary or of poor quality.
We’re recommending that all residents use caution whenever answer the door to unknown or unexpected callers. Use a door chain if possible, and don’t be afraid to close the door if you feel intimidated or concerned. Attachments: |
