Dear Neighbours

I wanted to introduce myself and offer my services for the summer, my name is Dee and I am currently housesitting in Forest Hill for a family who have been travelling abroad. I am a community teacher and will shortly be on my summer break, so have some hours to kill over the summer. My understanding is that there have been numerous burglaries in the area which are on the increase as burglars are targeting empty homes whilst people are away. Burglars are using more sophisticated systems such as drone technology and bypassing security systems to break into homes, and even when alarms do go off, by the time security or police arrive, they are in and out of your home. I know how devastating it can be if your home is broken into and your possessions destroyed and taken. I would be happy to help by staying over or to come in at random times to water plants, feed cats, put the bins back after bin day collections as this is a big tell-tell sign that you are not home etc. I?d also be happy to look after your dog at home for those that don?t want to kennel their dogs whilst they are away. Please PM if interested

Firstly this post is in the wrong section, it should be in the Business section. Secondly, don't you consider your scaremongering is an "unethical" way to drum up business?

Wow! Thank you for your response. You are of course entitled to your opinion. The family I am currently sitting for are grateful to have someone looking after their home while they are away and some people may appreciate a neighbour popping in a couple of times a week to make sure everything is okay.

Of course they are and I'm not knocking the service you're offering, only your marketing technique.
