Police in Llandrindod Wells have issued a warning that cold callers have been operating in the area today (Thursday).
Radnorshire Police have told residents of Llandrindod to be aware of cold callers offering garden and building services at unreasonable rates.
Should anyone call at your address that matches this description, please report this to 101.
The most common tactics used by rogue traders committing doorstep crime include:
• Knocking on your door and saying they have noticed a problem with your home that they can fix
• Saying they have leftover materials from another job that they can use at your home, such as Tarmac for a drive
• Hard selling - overstaying their welcome in your home or at your door until you agree to them doing the work. Not all cold callers are rogue traders, but agreeing to have work done on your home by someone who knocks on your door could make you a victim of doorstep crime
