Cold Calling - Brecon area

I wanted to provide you with an update regarding Fraud (e.g. bogus callers, courier fraud, cyber crime), which people around your area have highlighted as an issue of concern on the priority survey.

We have been made aware of rogue traders in the area of Brecon on Wednesday 21st January 2026 offering stone work services.

Not all traders are dishonest, but there are things you should do to make sure you don’t become a victim of rogue traders: -

✅ Check their identification and use the spyhole or door chain if you have one
✅ Never sign a contract until you have shopped around first
✅ Ask for more time to consider the offer and to get a second quotation. A genuine seller will understand this and not try to pressurise you into signing that day.
✅ Get advice from family, friends, or neighbours before agreeing to have any work done
✅ If you have any suspicions or concerns, ask the trader to leave, close the door and call the police or contact trading standards
✅ Do not allow any callers or workmen to take you to the bank, building society or Post Office. 💻 Further advice can be found here - https://orlo.uk/87OGX
