Bogus doorstep callers

Bogus doorstep traders operate throughout Britain every day.

Here are some practical steps you can take to make sure you do not get caught out:

Remember you cannot become a victim of bogus caller crime if you do not open your door!

Password Scheme

It is a good idea to arrange a password with your utility providers, so you can tell if utility callers are genuine. All that is required is for you to contact your service provider and ask for a password to be set up for your account.

If you require further consumer advice on doorstep sales, please contact our partners, Consumer Direct on 08454 04 05 06, or visit their website. You can also visit the OFT website for further guidance.
