Buying a used car? Warwickshire Trading Standards are warning
consumers to think twice before paying deposits to hold vehicles they
are interested in buying.
Trading Standards has received an increasing number if complaints from car buyers who paid 'holding deposits' for vehicles which were then either sold to someone else before they could view it, or the vehicle was markedly different to the advert. In both cases they should have received their deposit back, but did not.

Purchasers of second hand cars advertised on websites are warned to
beware of a new scam involving the use of false vehicle registration
numbers.
Consumers can now find a lot about the car they are interested in buying by putting the vehicle's registration number in to a free Government website, including information on a vehicle's mileage and condition.
This has led some unscrupulous sellers of dodgy vehicles to remove or obscure the licence plate of the cars they are selling on photographs posted on the Internet.
One Warwickshire resident expressed an interest in a vehicle that was being sold on a popular Internet classified advert website. The vehicle was shown without the number plates visible, so the buyer contacted the seller to ask for the registration number. The seller supplied him with a registration number and the buyer carried out a range of free and low cost checks on the vehicle. Satisfied with the result he then paid for the vehicle online and went to collect the car. When he arrived it turned out the the seller had given him a registration number for another vehicle of the same make/model, but not the one he had purchased. This car, the one he had paid for, was in a very poor condition with a high mileage!
Trading Standards advise consumers to be wary of purchasing vehicles without seeing them first and be suspicious of any advert where the licence plate of the vehicle cannot be seen affixed to the vehicle.
The new 'check before you buy' free web tools are now an important weapon in a car buyer's armoury to protect them against buying vehicles in a poor state that may be clocked or even unroadworthy. Some additional low cost checks can also help ensure that the car is not stolen or on finance.

Warwickshire residents are warned to beware of unexpected doorstep
callers offering 'free, Government funded' cavity wall insulation and
other energy efficiency measures.
Trading Standards are concerned that some unscrupulous traders may be using the offer of 'free' insulation to convince homeowners to sign up to energy efficiency measures that may not be appropriate for their property and may end up costing them money.
Funding for energy saving measures may be available to some residents if they are on certain benefits and own or privately rent their home, often via their energy supplier.
The Government has posted information on energy saving improvements and eligibility criteria on its website. Consumers can also phone the Energy Saving Advice Service on 0300 123 1234 (Monday to Friday, 9am to 8pm).
It can be very difficult to tell a good trader from a bad one on the doorstep. Trading Standards urges homeowners not to be seduced by the offer of something free on the doorstep. Residents should instead speak to the Energy Saving Advice Service to get the facts.
It can be difficult telling a good trader from a bad one on the doorstep - never buy goods or services from unexpected callers!

You've Been Summoned!
Fraudsters are sending out a wave of scam emails purporting to be from the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) that claim you have to appear in court.
Concerned members of the public have reported receiving the email entitled “You’ve been witness summoned to court”.
The email entices people to click on a link to view their start time/case details. This link is likely to lead to malware.
This email has no connection to the CPS and anyone receiving the email should not download any attachments or click on any links.

A consumer reported receiving a phone call from someone claiming to represent the Telephone Preference Service. The
caller asked the consumer to confirm their details, (the caller knew
the name and address of the consumer) and then asked the consumer for
the visa card details that were used when the consumer registered with
the TPS.
These are bogus phone calls. The TPS is a free service. Consumers do not need to provide a debit or credit card to register and no one from the TPS would ever phone a consumer to confirm their name and address, nor ask for bank account or card details.
Never reveal personal or financial information to cold callers. These are criminal gangs that are only interested in stealing your account information or setting up direct debits for bogus services.

Warwickshire Trading Standards are issuing further warnings about the HMRC phone scam after receiving more complaints today.
Recipients of these phone calls are told that they owe money to HMRC and are threatened with legal action, bankruptcy or a visit from the Police or a bailiff if they don't pay up.
Some victims have paid these bogus debts with itunes vouchers.
Many Warwickshire consumers have reported persistent and aggressive HMRC scam phone calls and text messages. Some phone calls are 'live' and some recorded.
If you receive a unexpected phone call from someone claiming to represent HMRC demanding money, put the phone down. If you believe the phone call to be genuine, phone HMRC back on a publicly listed phone number.

Older residents are warned to beware of high pressure cold calls from
companies selling mobility equipment and furniture. The cold callers
falsely claim they are carrying out a survey on behalf of the NHS before
trying to organise visits to the consumer's home on the pretence of
delivering a 'free gift' and measuring up for new products.
The cold caller's telephone numbers may appear local, but they are unlikely to be located in Warwickshire. They are reported to be very persistent and may phone several times.
Residents are advised to put the phone down.
