Advice from West Midlands Police:
There are several ways people can be tricked by door-to-door fraud.
It’s important to know that if this has happened to you, it’s not your fault and that there’s support for you.
Most door-to-door fraud involves selling goods or services that are either not delivered or are very poor quality. You won’t get value for money, and you may get billed for work you didn’t want or agree to.
Remember to report any suspicious activity and close the door if things don’t feel right.
