Information from Surrey Police regarding bogus callers

We have been made aware that a number of Surrey residents have received calls from a company claiming to be a home security firm and offering advice on new and existing security systems. The company asks a number of questions about the resident’s existing security arrangements and offers a home visit from one of their experts.

Trading Standards strongly advise that members of the public do not use firms that cold call.

Residents should be aware that when someone asks you when you are in or whether you have an alarm fitted, you are also telling them when you are out and what security measures you already have in place.

Anyone who receives a call either on the phone or at the property should call Surrey Police immediately 08451252222 quoting reference P10119973 or Crime stoppers in confidence on 0800 555111.
