Trading Standards Alert - Security Systems1.03.09pm BST (GMT +0100) Tue 28th Jul 2009 Trading Standards have been made aware that a security company is contacting consumers to say that they have won a free security system. This may not actually be the case. Trading Standards have been told that there are costs involved which the trader is reluctant to tell consumers about. The trader may use this as an opportunity to make an appointment at the consumer's home in order to discuss the "free security system" where it may be much more difficult for the consumer to get the trader to leave. Please do not respond to such mailings. If you want a security system or any other work doing please take time to do your own research and find out about suitable traders. You can contact Consumer Direct for further guidance on 08454 04 05 06 and they can also give you details of the trusted traders who are on Trading Standards Buy With Confidence Scheme
