NEIGHBOURHOOD WATCH ALERT
4
AUGUST 2005 |
Lincolnshire
Police have been alerted by colleagues in Banbury of a company calling elderly
people implying that they have won an adjustable bed and making an appointment
to deliver it. This is just a ploy to get into the victim’s home.
On arriving at
the agreed date, it is clear that there was no “Prize bed” and the salesman
employs very high pressure sales tactics in order to secure a sale.
Please do not
get caught out if these people come calling at your home. Do not entertain cold
callers unless you have had a chance to research them thoroughly, and remember
the golden rule; “If it sounds too good to be true, it usually is!”
