Cold Callers around
« on: March 06, 2013, 05:40:58 PM »
Just wanted to alert others to the fact that their are cold callers around - one of my friends were conned last night out of £250.00. both pensioners. Handed over the money as was told the 'man' was going out there and then to do this job - well he did a runner.
Daft to hand over cash like that you will say - yes but at 70 and 80 years old people are not as aware as a younger person might be.
Please tell your vulnerable friends and relatives these thieves are around and not to let them into there homes.  :(

I started out with nothing and I've still got most of it left.

Now you know why I got riled when Aunty said someone from the stairlift company had phoned and was calling back.
