Alarm Company Visiting Houses in Wrexham

North Wales Police have received notification that an alarm company will be visiting houses in the Wrexham area this week as part of a sales campaign.

North Wales Police would like to to remind residents of the Three Step Plan when dealing with Cold Callers.

Three Step Plan:

1. Remember Genuine callers will not mind waiting. It’s your home. You don’t have to let anyone in. If in doubt, keep them out. It sounds simple, but if you don’t let someone in – they will go away. Don’t let them pressure you into opening the door

2. Be prepared. Be in control. Think about what to say to doorstep cold callers in advance. And keep a list of key contact numbers near your phone so you can check out legitimate callers. Ask all other unwanted callers to go away

3. Call a neighbour or the police. Contact a local relative or nominated neighbour who can help verify a cold caller. If you think someone is a rogue trader call Police on 101.To report a distraction burglar or rogue trader who has taken your money and is still in the area – call 999.

Remember, identity cards may not be genuine. Always check with the service provider or company by telephoning them using a telephone number from a trusted source – not from a number on the ID card
