Staffordshire Police are urging residents to stay vigilant against rogue traders targeting local communities. These individuals often offer services such as driveway repairs, roofing or gardening services. 

They will also expect you to pay strange amount of cash upfront before any work is completed. 

🔐How to protect yourself: 

. Don't agree to work offered on the spot. 

. Always ask for written quotes and check reviews or references. 

. Be wary of any pressure tactics - take your time to decide. 

. Verify ID and ensure traders are from a reputable business. 

If you suspect a rogue trader or feel unsafe, call us on 101 or report anonymously to crime stoppers at 0800 555 111. In an emergency call us on 999!
