BOGUS TRADERS
We have received intelligence that there are rogue home and garden maintenance traders operating in Solihull claiming to be limited companies and often producing leaflets that make them look like credible businesses.
We do not recommend accepting services from companies who conduct door to door sales pitches without establishing that they are legitimate companies and where possible are recommended to you.
You can check the legitimacy of a Ltd company via this link http://wck2.companieshouse.gov.uk//companysearch You will be able to determine whether the Ltd company exists at all or if it is dissolved.
Some rogue traders find dissolved company names to trade with giving unsuspecting residents a perceived belief that the company is legitimate.
Please share this message to help protect your elderley and vulnerable neighbours.
Kind Regards
Solihull Police
IF IT SOUNDS TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE….. IT USUALLY IS !!
