COLD CALLERS
Suffolk Police and Suffolk Trading Standards are warning people to be on their guard for companies that target the vulnerable by cold-calling for the purpose of selling mobility equipment.  These calls are often followed by a personal visit from a salesperson who uses hard-sell techniques to persuade the customer to buy mobility aids that they might not want.  Another case occurred recently in Thorpeness when a company phoned to make an appointment to come and discuss home security.

For further advice or anyone who feels that they might be a victim of this type of sales technique, please contact Suffolk Trading Standards on 0845 4040506.
