Trading Standards Alert - Security Systems
Trading Standards have been made aware that a security company is contacting consumers to say that they have won a free security system.
New boundaries for the 2024 General Election.
From the 2024 General Election, the Parliamentary Constituency of Ashford will (pretty ridiculously, in our opinion) include the District of Folkestone and Hythe wards of North Downs East and North Downs West, in addtion to the Ashford Borough Council seats of:
Aylesford & East Stour, Beaver, Bircholt, Bockhanger, Bybrook, Conningbrook & Little Burton Farm, Furley, Goat Lees, Godinton, Highfield, Kennington, Mersham, Sevington South with Finberry, Norman, Park Farm North, Park Farm South, Repton, Roman, Singleton East, Singleton West, Stanhope, Victoria, Washford, Willesborough, Wye with Hinxhill.
The Ashford seat therefore stretches pretty much to the coast, across an area that in no way could be called Ashford: Ashford and North Downs, maybe.
Trading Standards have been made aware that a security company is contacting consumers to say that they have won a free security system.
An elderly consumer received a phone call from someone claiming to be from Lloyds Bank (who the consumer banks with) requesting her debit card details. Unfortunately the consumer gave the information to them, shortly after this phone call she received a letter saying they would assist the consumer in gaining charges back from the bank that had been wrongly charged.
Kent Trading Standards has received information suggesting that businesses are being approached by a trader giving the impression that they are the Yellow Pages calling regarding their renewal. However, it turns out the caller is not from the Yellow Pages and the business has agreed to advertise with another company, agreeing to pay a £1068 fee plus £89 a month.
