Bogus Callers Call Anytime

Bogus callers are people gaining entry to homes by deception - They may say they are investigating a Gas or Water leak (wanting to check your water pipes for instance which the water company never does) - They may say they are the Council or someone else that you trust

Sometimes they work alone & sometimes in pairs  - They may distract you once inside - Or even gain entry from the back while you are at the front - They may say they have seen something in the back to distract you.

Please remember - Anyone who is bone-fide will have correct identity - Make sure you ask for it - If they don't have it or are unwilling to let you look at it properly - They are probably not who they seem - Don't Let Them In.

A genuine representative will happily wait while you shut the door & phone their organisation to verify their details - Please remember not to use any phone number they provide - Look it up yourself to be sure!

If In Doubt - Keep Them Out!

Snoopers Are Rubbish

From time to time reports of suspicious characters going through rubbish & letters in our area are received - Identity theft is on the increase so please shred your documents (shredders are cheaply available & an effective way to keep personal details -  safe)

The shredded paper makes a great addition in layers to your compost bins

So before you 'put it out' check that all details are shredded before they go in!
