Cornwall Council Trading Standards are urging those affected by flooding to be on the alert for 'rogue traders' and 'cowboy builders' looking to exploit the damage and devastation caused by the recent floods across the county.
Previous floods in the UK have attracted doorsteps fraudsters offering a range of flood recovery services and other assistance including tree chopping, garden clearance, guttering, tarmacing and roof cleaning. The results are always in poor quality work, disappearing cash deposits and charging for work not done.
Cornwall Trading Standards urge people to be on their guard at this difficult time and to follow five simple steps to avoid being caught out:• Never deal with anyone who turns up at your door without an appointment.• Ask for identification and get comprehensive contact details. A mobile telephone number is not good enough! • Always make sure you get a written quote for any work to be carried out including written cancellation rights.• Only pay after the work has been satisfactorily completed • Check your chosen trader is approved by your insurance company
