Free, confidential

and impartial advice.

Avoid the rogues. Trading

Standards say don't deal

with doorstep traders.

 

Ask friends or relatives to

recommend reputable

local traders.

'Scam Wise Southwest' is a campaign by Trading Standards in

South West England to help stop people being conned by rogue traders.

'They're just out to get your money. Don't fall for it!'

Door Step Sales - protect yourself!

- don't open the door to strangers - use a spy-hole or window to check who is calling

- use password schemes offered by utility companies and councils

- if you're expecting a caller by appointment, use your door chain & check their identification

- don't have work done by someone coming uninvited to your door

Telephone Scams - say 'no thank you' and hang up if:

- the company phones you out of the blue

- you're asked to part with money in advance

- they use high pressure sales tactics to confuse you

Postal Scams - tear it up & recycle if the letter contains:

- addresses that are PO Boxes, suite numbers or based abroad

- a request to send money

- a request for your bank account details. Report it to your bank.

- an instruction to call a telephone number beginning 09

 

If you think you have been a victim of a scam, contact Trading Standards and

Consumer Direct, telephone 08454 040506 or log on to www.consumerdirect.gov.uk
