SCAM Alert

We’re seeing reports of people going door-to-door offering to lay tarmac or carry out work at a “cheap price” because they “happen to be in the area" or "have left over tarmac from a previous job in the area". 

In many cases this leads to: 

⚠️ Prices suddenly increasing by thousands of pounds 

⚠️ Property or valuables being taken 

⚠️ Intimidation or threats 

⚠️ Poor or unfinished work If it sounds too good to be true — it usually is. 

Before agreeing to any work: 

✅ Check ID and company details 

✅ Get written quotes 

✅ Don’t be pressured into quick decisions 

✅ Never hand over cash upfront 

If you’re approached and feel something isn’t right: 

🚗 If safe to do so, note vehicle registrations and descriptions 

📞 Report on 101, or 999 if you feel threatened or in immediate danger 

💻 Or report online via ➡️ https://orlo.uk/report_a_crime_lvTM6 

🏠 Landowners, farmers, businesses and homeowners — please stay alert and look out for each other 👀
