Suffolk Trading Standards advice is to never agree to anything, including a home visit, when approached by a cold caller on the phone, at your door or via email. Do your research first, and find out if it is a product or service that you want or require.

While it might be tempting to agree to low prices being offered on the doorstep, think twice.
