Cold Callers in Burneside

Written by on 20/09/2017

Cumbria Trading Standards have received reports of cold callers operating in the Burneside, Kendal area, selling household items door to door.

Consumers should be extremely cautious when approached by cold callers offering to sell goods or services. They can often use persuasive or aggressive tactics to get you to purchase goods that you might not necessarily want or need.

Trading Standards advice is to always say ‘NO’ to any cold callers and to look out for elderly or vulnerable friends, family and neighbours.

If you require further advice or wish to report any suspicious activity please contact Trading Standards via the Citizens Advice Consumer Helpline on 03454 04 05 06 or by visiting www.adviceguide.org.uk. Alternatively you can contact the Police on 101.
