Cold callers in Silverdale

Just a quick message to make you aware that police have recently received a number of reports of people going door to door (cold calling) in the Silverdale area.

These males were trying to obtain work in the local area and residents were concerned they may be trying to scam vulnerable people.

Police advice is not to use any cold callers and to use traders who they know or come recommended by family or friends. We advise that you obtain three quotes from trusted traders and obtain an itemised bill which shows the total price of the agreed work to be completed, cost of materials and labour charges. This should hopefull get you a competitive quotation and allow you to obtain advice from three different people to establish exactly what is required.

Please look out for vulnerable neighbours or family and pass them this advice.

Regards

Paul Shepherd
