BEWARE bogus door-to-door salespeople

30th September 2010

Cumbria Probation Trust urges Cumbrian residents to be vigilant about bogus door-to-door salespeople.

We have been informed of a scam that has been reported in a number of other areas. People posing as offenders or ex-offenders are going from door-to-door trying to sell products or services. They claim to be working for a project that is backed by the local Probation Trust.

Cumbria Probation Trust operates no scheme of this nature and our advice is not to purchase anything from salespeople who claim to be part of this project.

Anyone being approached by any person who claims to be working under the authority of Cumbria Probation Trust in this way should immediately contact Cumbria Police on 0845 33 00 247, giving as much detail as possible about the person and the business they claim to represent.
