@WAR - Trading Standards Scam Update

18/11/2015 Windy weather rogue trader warning

By Simon Cripwell on Nov 18, 2015 12:13 pm

Following the recent windy weather experienced across Warwickshire, Trading Standards Officers are warning residents to beware of rogue roofers going door to door offering to 'repair' damaged roofs. In many cases rogue roofers will exaggerate damage to a resident's roof or claim there is damage when in reality there is none.

Rogue roofers will quote a low price but this will soon be inflated as they find more 'work' to do!

Do not buy goods or services on the doorstep.

@WAS - Road Side Scam

Dear reader,

 

Could I please make you aware of a scam that is happening in the South Warwickshire area. We have had multiple incidents reported to us regarding males flagging down vehicles wanting money for petrol to get home. They have been seen out toward Tysoe and near Willington/Barcheston area.

 

On two occasions there have been Asian or Middle Eastern males in a dark blue or black vehicle with a registration of KF03 NZB. They have been asking for around £40 and on both occasions money has been given to them by members of the public. They offer rings in exchange for this money and have given the attached business card.

 

Please do not hand any money to them and call the police on 101.

 

Kind Regards
