New campaign aims to crackdown on doorstep cost of living scams in Scotland this summer
A new nationwide initiative to crackdown on cost of living doorstep scams has been launched by Trading Standards Scotland and Police Scotland. The ‘Shut out Scammers’ campaign comes as households continue to struggle with rising energy bills, double digit inflation and soaring prices at the supermarket.
Councillor Maureen Chalmers, chair of Trading Standards Scotland, is urging people to be aware of the signs of misleading information when ordering products and services online. She added: “Do plenty of research into companies before agreeing to any work being undertaken, remembering that online adverts can be misleading and that reviews can be faked.”
Detective Superintendent Andy Patrick said Police Scotland remained “committed to working in partnership to bring doorstep criminals to justice”.
