N0299 07072016 Somerset North
Officers at Weston would like to make you aware that there have been calls received relating to a company around the area doing jobs for residents that are either not required or not done to satisfactory standard.
These were cold calls from males who insisted on cash payments for the jobs. Both complainants received receipts for the money paid but the address on it does not exist.
Please reiterate to members that they should not have dealings with callers at the door and should never agree to have work done, allow strangers into the property etc. If they feel threatened by such callers they should call the police immediately using the 999 system. If residents have received contact in recent days from callers as described above then please contact your local Trading Standards office at North Somerset Council, Telephone 01275-888631.
