SCAM ALERT: Cold caller warning over security

Cold caller alert over security

First published in News Last updated

ELDERLY residents in Shelf are being plagued by cold callers asking about their home security, say police.

The pensioners are told there has been an increase in crime in the area and then offered a free home visit to check their security.

A police spokesman said: During the telephone conversation people are asked do you currently have a burglar alarm? and are your doors and windows fitted with the correct locks?. We are not saying that these companies are bogus. However, we strongly advise that no information of this nature is given out over the phone.

Residents in the Shelf area who would like a free security check carried out at their home can ring PCSO Sarah Conderson on 07921 282199.
