Trading Standards Update

19/12/2011 Thank you for your Overwhelming Support, but no more ‘Charity’ Collection Bags please

Warwickshire County Council’s Trading Standards Service is thanking residents for sending them huge numbers of dubious ‘charity’ collection bags in a recent blitz on unscrupulous collectors. Hundreds have already been sent in and Trading Standards Officers continue to receive bags full each week. Officers now have the details of around 50 different collectors operating across the County.

The collection phase of the blitz has now ended and the investigation phase is now well under way. Trading Standards Officers therefore no longer need residents to send in collection bags but would like to thank everyone who helped to get the project off to such an excellent start.

For advice on charity bags, visit our website: www.warwickshire.gov.uk/scams

Report any dubious collector to Action Fraud - telephone: 0300 123 2040 or visit www.actionfraud.org.uk

19/12/2011 Insulation Seller Southam

Warwickshire Trading Standards are warning residents in the Southam area to beware of doorstep traders offering loft insulation work door to door and using aggressive and high pressure sales tactics. The sellers are believed to be targeting households they believe will be eligible for Government grants.

Residents who have signed up have reported being unable to exercise their legal right to cancel the agreement and work not being done to the promised time-scale.

Warwickshire Trading Standards advises consumers seeking loft insulation and grant advice to visit: www.energysavingtrust.org.uk

Warwickshire residents aged 50 and over can use the County Council’s Tradeline service to obtain the details of local insulation fitters, phone: 08456 123 258.

Trading Standards Update - 08/12/2011

08/12/2011
Tile Scam Kenilworth
A Cubbington householder reported to Warwickshire Trading Standards that he had received an unexpected call from an as yet unknown individual who claimed that he was the manufacturer of the householder's roof tiles. He stated that the roof tiles were defective and need replacing. The householder was immediately suspicious as he could see no problem with his roof tiles.

This was probably an unscrupulous approach by a rogue builder wanting to either to re-tile the householder's roof, apply some sort of bogus treatment to the roof or get access to the roof to convince the owner that there were further problems that needed 'fixing'.

08/12/2011
Bogus Caller Rugby
Warwickshire Trading Standards Service are warning people to beware of phone calls from people falsely claiming to work for Age UK. The callers, who target elderly people, offer to set up 'trust funds' which they claim would stop the older person having to sell their home to pay for care costs. The initial contact is usually by phone followed by a home visit.

08/12/2011
Bogus Safety Magazines
Warwickshire Trading Standards are warning schools, businesses and other organisations about a number of new approaches by bogus publication companies who trick businesses and others in to agreeing to advertise in their publications. These magazines, which usually purport to be safety related have little or no circulation and are essentially worthless to the advertiser. However, the bogus publishers charge hundreds and in some cases thousands of pounds for advertising space in them.

The bogus publishers usually cold call the organisations they target and often falsely claim to represent the Police or Fire and Rescue Service. They then ask the business, organisation or school if they want to advertise 'again' (even if they have never advertised before) or 'support' the publication. They hope that some people will be tricked in to thinking this is a regular event or that they will be supporting a worthwhile cause. Some rogues go as far sending the business a copy of an advert the latter had already placed in a genuine publication along with an invoice. They hope the recipient will confuse the request for payment with a genuine request for advertising payment.

Seasonal Crime Prevention Advice

Entries on social networking sites - Can burglars see your information this Christmas?
Warwickshire Police would like to remind those using social networking sites not to post too much information about their movements and whereabouts this Christmas.
George Stepney, Crime Prevention Manager at Warwickshire Police said: “Whilst we understand the popularity of social networking, posting when you’ll be away over the festive season or days when your property will be empty could be all the information an opportunist thief needs to burgle your home. Often the comments are innocent, made purely because people want to share what they are doing over Christmas and New Year with people they know."
To help protect yourself and your property from this harm, please follow the below advice:

• Check your privacy settings on social networking sites. Make sure the information you are posting can only be seen by friends and family, not strangers.
• Think - Are the people who have access to this information people you really know and trust? If not, remove their access.
• Remind children and young people in your household of the importance of the aforementioned points. How well do they know the people they have allowed access to their information? Have they met them before?
• Before you post an update think, does this information need to be seen by everyone who has access to your area? If not, consider a one to one form of communication.

Thieves Go Window Shopping Too
Exciting packages full of the latest gadgets, sparkly trinkets, favourite CDs, tasty treats, a bottle of good cheer - all things we would love to give and receive for Christmas.
But car thieves don’t bother to join the hustle and bustle of everyone else, shopping for their Christmas goodies. They do their own window shopping looking into parked cars, to see what has been left on display inside - and what they can steal. So as the Christmas shopping spree gears up Warwickshire Police is reminding people not to leave their Christmas shopping in their cars unattended.
George Stepney, Community Protection Manager with Warwickshire Police said, “It can be difficult walking round with lots of packages, but don’t be tempted to take them back to the car and leave them unattended. If you have large packages you could ask the store where you have bought them if you can collect them when you have finished your other shopping. If Christmas presents are stolen, in addition to being an upsetting and costly experience, you may find it difficult to replace them in time for Christmas. Thieves will steal anything from your car and while it only takes a matter of seconds for them to break in, for the motorist it takes time to get the vehicle repaired, deal with the insurance and cope with the disappointment of losing your property.”
Other advice to reduce the chances of your car being broken into include:

• Always park you car in a well lit, well used street, or a public car park which has CCTV coverage.
• Always make sure it is locked - check the automatic locking system has operated properly.
• Use additional in car security, such as a steering wheel lock.
• Remove your Sat Nav, and the front cover from your music system. Don’t hide them elsewhere in the car - thieves know where to look.
• Don’t leave other items, such as coats, bags, briefcases or mobile phones in your car.
• Review how many CDs you need with you in the car, and write your name on them. They will be less easy to sell if they are stolen.
• When travelling in your car lock all the doors to prevent uninvited people getting into your vehicle at the start of your journey, or if you are stopped at traffic lights.
• Unload your shopping from the car as soon as you get home.
• Always take your car keys out of the ignition whenever you get out of the car, even if it is only for a couple of seconds, and even if you are parked on your driveway.

Don’t let car thieves ruin your work's Christmas party
Warwickshire Police would like to remind the public to secure their vehicles and belongings whilst enjoying their work’s Christmas party.
George Stepney, Crime Prevention Manager at Warwickshire Police said: "We know there are teams of car thieves who visit hotel and public house car parks where they know there will be company drinks or parties taking place after work. Some look for cars arriving just after work and check to see if there are a series of vehicles of the same make, with similar registration numbers or company parking badges in their windscreen, indicating that they are being driven by people from the same organisation. Other thieves will simply sit and watch people arriving at a restaurant, pub or hotel to see if they transfer anything to the boot before they go inside. Car thieves know that once the driver is inside they have a certain amount of time to break into their car and steal any items of value. Thieves tend to target company cars because the likelihood of finding a lap top computer or other high value equipment inside is higher, but all cars are potential targets.”
Those attending work social functions can help to protect their car by:

• Removing everything of value from their vehicle before leaving the office for a night out.
• Leaving the lap top at work or at home
• Asking yourself if you really need to take your briefcase with you in the car when you are going to attend a social gathering.
• Leaving the glove compartment open and removing or opening the rear parcel shelf to show there is nothing in the boot.
• Removing anything from the car that you don’t need.
• Keeping the number of CDs in you car to a minimum.
• Not hiding items in the glove compartment - it's the first place a thief will look.
• Using a visible anti theft device such as a steering wheel lock, even if your vehicle is fitted with an immobiliser.

Car thieves want to be in and out of a car with minimum time and effort. If you show them there is nothing to steal, and also make it look like your car is well protected, they are less likely to target your vehicle.
Party venues can take the following steps to improve security:

• Install CCTV surveillance equipment in car parks,
• Employ security officers to patrol car parks,
• Wherever possible have gated exits,
• Have clear crime prevention signs visible reminding motorists to remove their property from their car,

Meet the car park standards as set under the Park Mark scheme. For more information, please visit http://www.saferparking.com

15/11/2011 Trading Standards Update - Knocker scam

15/11/2011 Council Officer Warning Kenilworth

Warwickshire Trading Standards Service is warning Kenilworth residents about a man who is reported to have been door knocking in the area, claiming to work for Warwickshire County Council and offering to 'reduce residents council tax'. The caller is believed to be wearing a Warwickshire County Council badge. Warwickshire Trading Standards is not aware of any legitimate reason for a member of staff to be carrying out such calls and warns householders to be wary of any callers who claim to be 'officials'.

1. Use a door chain

2. Always check the callers ID and verify they are genuine by phoning a publically listed telephone number, not one they give you.

3. Do not allow anyone in to your home you don't know or trust

4. If in doubt, say no and close the door, or better still , don't open the door in the first place.

For more information on all scams, visit our website: www.warwickshire.gov.uk/scams

• The email alert system is a quick, simple and cost effective means by which Warwickshire Trading Standards can alert interested individuals, community organisations, businesses, charities and others to the latest Trading Standards issues/scams etc.
• Please feel free to cascade this information to whom ever you feel appropriate (including using the information in your newsletters/websites etc.). Please ignore the Restricted Notice on the bottom of this page - this is automatically generated but is not meant to apply to the information in this email.
• The email alert system is designed to work as a two way communications system. Therefore, if you have any information you wish to provide to Warwickshire Trading Standards Service, either for our information, or to appear in future email alerts, please email me.
• To add, amend or remove your details from this email circulation list, again, please email me.

Lost Dog? - New online service from SDC

Dear All,


Please see the below message.


Stratford District Council launches new online service to help reunite stray dogs with their owners
 
Stratford-on-Avon District Council has recently introduced the Stray/Lost Dog Finder to its website, a free service developed by the Dog Warden Service to make it easier to search for missing pets.
Dog owners can now quickly report their dog as missing on the District Council’s Lost Dog Finder web page - www.stratford.gov.uk/straydogs - through simply filling in an online form. When a lost dog is found by a member of the public, its description and location is immediately uploaded onto the same virtual platform, giving the dog owner the opportunity to view and locate their missing dog at any time.
If a dog is still missing, owners can now regularly check the website to see if their dog has been found saving time having to call the District Council’s Contact Centre for updates. 
As soon as the dog warden picks up the dog from where it was found it will be routinely checked for I'D. in the form of a tag (which by law all dogs must wear when out in public under The Control of Dogs Order 1992) or scanned for a microchip.  If no I.D. is present the dog will be taken to holding kennels where the owner will need to pay a £50 fine, if the dog has I.D., the owner will be contacted immediately and returned to its owner. 
If your dog has been found and is listed on the website, you must call the Contact Centre on 01789 260839 between 8.45am and 5pm Monday to Friday to claim your dog, please be aware, by law your dog only has 7 days to be claimed or else it could be rehomed.  You will need to pay the fine and be asked some security questions relating to the dog to make sure it is your dog you are claiming and you will be told where you need to collect your dog from.
Sophie Peacock, Stratford District Council’s Animal Welfare Officer says: “With the help of this new online tool, the District Council will continue to make every effort to link dogs identified as strays with dogs reported as missing, making the process less stressful for dog owners.  Although the Council is committed to returning stray dogs to their owners, I would like to take this opportunity to remind dog owners to give their pets an identity tag making it easier and less stressful for dogs and owners alike to be reunited.”
