News - Index - Bogus Callers - 25th August 2004

Carpet Sales in the area

Residents are warned that a silver Renault is touring the area offering to sell carpets especially to elderly people offering to drive them to the bank to collect enough money to pay. We are suspicious of the behaviour of these callers and it is unwise to get involved in purchasing on the doorstep in this way, even if you think the item is a bargain.

It is possible the offer of carpet is merely a way to gain information about your household and its occupants.

Advice is available from Trading Standards on 08451 201202. All those approached should inform their local police station or trading standards.
