So many scam builder salesmen😫

[Ordinary]

So many scam builder salesmen have been ringing my doorbell, even banging on the door!

I opened the door to one of them, and he said: “I’m working for your neighbours. I saw your chimney is in a dangerous state, and we can help you.”

It’s the same old scam. Does anyone know where I can report this kind of fraudulent doorstep selling?👮‍♀️

Ah, guilty until proven innocent... until they run off with your money, they aren't actually doing anything wrong.  Yes, you know they are probably a scam but you have no proof of anything.  They're being a nuisance.

If they are being persistent, perhaps just contact the police

We have had 1-2 of these vile conmen knocking at our door pretty much every week for months now. I send reports to the police with their photos, hopefully something gets done about it. I recommend just not opening your door until you know it's a genuine caller & going through your smart doorbell footage (if you have one) to report them.  Do report to both the regular Police & SNT & hopefully some of these turds in human form get locked up.

just say yes you'd like all the work done - do they take credit as you have no money - when can they start
