TRADING STANDARDS ALERT
Leicestershire Trading Standards has received reports that residents in the Great Glen area are receiving cold telephone calls from a business attempting to make appointments to visit them in their homes and persuade them to purchase mobility aids at a vastly inflated price. The callers also appeared to have knowledge of these residents' health issues.
Trading Standards always advises residents to never confirm personal details over the telephone, even when the caller seems to have some knowledge of them or their personal circumstances.
If you receive any reports of similar activity or callers please contact Trading Standards on 08454 04 05 06 or use telltradingstandards@leics.gov.uk
