Protect yourself from unwelcome callers

Protect yourself from unwelcome callers
Joint press release on behalf of Leicestershire Constabulary and Leicestershire County Council:
Householders are being given advice on how they can protect themselves from rogue traders and other tricksters later this month (September).
Rogue traders charge extortionate rates for shoddy or unnecessary work. Other callers will lie to get into an individual’s home, with the intention of stealing cash or valuables.
Leicestershire Constabulary and Leicestershire County Council’s Trading Standards Service have teamed up to organise a roadshow, which will be touring the county with practical advice for householders, their friends and relatives.
Leicestershire Constabulary will also invite applications to set up more “No cold calling zones”.
The roadshows will take place as follows:
