A resident has been receiving calls from various companies offering PPI refunds - the latest claimed they were from Trading Standards and offered a substantial refund in connection to her late husband. They asked for an address saying the cheque could be delivered that afternoon. Needless to say this was NOT us and she didn't divulge any personal information and reported it!
There seems to be an influx of cold callers in the Sunbury area offering energy saving surveys that are supposedly connected with a government scheme.
Think before you open the door or agree to anything and, above all, do not let strangers into your home!
Further reports of alarm sales. These follow unsolicited calls to elderly residents who are then subjected to pressure sales and even persuaded to change their already installed and more than suitable community alarm for the traders expensive contract version!
NB These are sometimes sold as 'free' but actually come with an expensive and lengthy maintenance contract.
Please look out for friends, family and neighbours!
