Halton Trading Standards advise residents that rogue traders are operating in the borough today. They are cold calling by knocking on people’s doors asking residents if they want work done on their houses and gardens. Do not answer the door – there is the risk you will get ripped off and also the risk of catching coronavirus.

There is nothing wrong with not answering the door in the current circumstances. Protect yourself and your loved ones.

*If you or somebody you know has been caught out by a scam or fraud please contact one of our specialist officers, Linda or Sue on 0151 511 8785 or 0151 511 8775, who are already working with people in Halton who have lost thousands of pounds to scams.

If you need advice on anything else please contact the Citizens Advice Consumer Helpline  or 0808 223 1133
