Cold Callers
We'll introduce
you to the different tricks, so you'll be prepared.
Welcome
If in doubt, keep them out.
Help us deal with doorstep crime in Wales and get our message to people who may be targeted by ruthless rogue traders or distraction burglars.
Our message is simple - if in doubt, keep them out. Also don't be afraid to report anyone who is suspicious to the police. You should call them on 101 to let them know about a suspected rogue trader or call 999 if a rogue trader has taken money from you and is in your home or still in the local area. You should also call 999 if you think someone is a distraction burglar.
We all need to report this activity. Just because a cold caller leaves your doorstep, it doesn't mean that they won't target other people in your community. Please always tell the Police about any 'suspicious characters'.
Where has this campaign come from?
Various agencies and organisations including the Police and trading standards teams are working together to implement an all Wales response to the problem of rogue traders and distraction burglars in communities and the under reporting of the offences.
They are working with companies who have a legitimate reason to knock on your door to ensure the people who don't have a legitimate reason are targeted.
