Surlingham

You may have received a letter through the post today purporting to come from Juha Kaapa on Walnut Hill suggesting you register your details on the above website. Interestingly the website claims to have 954 Surlingham neighbours registered already which is quite a feat given there are only 300 residences in the village!

I have spoken with Juha and he did NOT send or give his permission for the letters to be sent.

He does NOT recommend the website unless you wish to receive LOTS of unwanted email notifications from them.

Further reports of telephone and doorstep cold callers enquiring about ‘insulation’

Residents still need to be on their guard as we have received further reports of telephone and doorstep cold callers enquiring about properties insulation.

Reports this week have included doorstep cold callers in the Hethersett and Old Catton areas and a number of incidents of telephone cold calls.

Claims have often included that they are ‘part of a Government backed scheme’ and that ‘old’ insulation is ‘unsafe’ and ‘a potential fire risk’.

Always be very wary of claims made during a cold call and never agree to services, buy items or for visits or access to your property if approached in this manner.

Doorstep cold caller offering to ‘clean driveways and patios’

We are warning residents to be on their guard after receiving reports of two men doorstep cold calling in the Dereham area offering to ‘clean driveways and patios’.

Never deal with cold callers looking to undertake work on or around your property.  If you are looking to have any work done only deal with reputable companies you have researched and chosen yourself and have obtained a written quotation from.

Emails claiming to be from ‘TV Licencing’

Emails are circulating claiming to be from TV Licencing stating you are due ‘a refund’ and then offering a link to ‘process the payment’.

These emails are not from TV Licencing and anyone following the link will be taken to a fake version of the TV Licencing website which will attempt to gather personal and financial details.
