Latest Scams Reported

Local residents attending the Raynes Park Community Forum on 5 December 2013 reported two new scams operating in the area.

1.         A very convincing “builder” knocks on your door, asking to borrow cash to hire some tools so that he may carry out some emergency works on a neighbour’s home. Despite his apparent sincerity, don’t fall for it. You won’t get your money back!

2.         Whilst parking or returning to your car in Tesco’s car park, a kind passer-by draws your attention to a fault with your car. Whilst you are looking where he is pointing, someone helps himself to your belongings from your car!
