ResidentFollowing the alert sent yesterday regarding the single report of a rogue trader in Mickleover, i wanted to ensure that there was a reminder on some advice for if you, or your family and friends, encounter a rogue trader or doorstep seller: If you are not sure who is at the door, don’t open it. Check the identity of any caller. Confirm who they are by calling the company they work for using number from a bill, directory or from online. Do not call any numbers they give you. Ask a friend, relative or neighbour to come around to check them before you open the door. Tell them to come back at a time when someone will be at home with you. Before opening one door, make sure all other door and windows are locked and closed. Use the door chain every time you answer the door. If the caller is selling something or says that you need work carrying out tell them you are not interested and ask them to leave. Genuine, reputable firms won’t need to drum up business by cold calling.
