We have seen several reports of Rogue Traders operating across the county, including the Ramsgate area.  Please be wary of cold callers offering to undertake work on your property as this work may not be necessary, may not be completed to a satisfactory standard and you may be overcharged.

If seeking a tradesperson to undertake some work on your property, please remember to always:

Obtain at least three written quotes.

Ask family and friends for recommendations.

Agree payment arrangements and start and finish dates in writing beforehand.

Never pay in full until you are completely satisfied with the work.

If you think that you may have been a victim of this or any other type of scam, then contact your Bank immediately, which you can do by calling 159 and report it to Action Fraud at www.actionfraud.police.uk or call 0300 123 2040.

Be Safe, Be Sure
