Doorstep fraudsters or bogus tradesmen can be extremely persuasive when selling all kinds of products right at the door, telling that they represent a company and that they have all sorts of things you might be interested in.

If you are a victim of such frauds, feel free to talk to one of our doorstep fraud solicitors in London and ask for immediate legal advice. One of our criminal defence lawyers in London can explain your rights if you have been accused of bogus tradesmen frauds.

 

 

Promoting products and services at the door might sound attractive for numerous persons, but unfortunately, there are cases in which persons become victims of fraud right at the doorstep of their house. According to statistics, elderly persons are the most vulnerable to frauds of this kind. Doorstep frauds happen on a daily basis and the mechanism is quite simple but regrettably easy to defraud people:

 

Doorstep fraudsters might offer a period of time where persons can change their mind and return the products if they don’t want them anymore. Unfortunately, this will never happen and the money will not be returned. Our doorstep fraud solicitors in London can provide immediate legal advice and support for persons who are victims of this type of fraud. On the other hand, persons accused of doorstep frauds should ask for legal advice from a criminal defence lawyer in London who can give more details about their rights.

 

 

First of all, it is important to know that no one can force you to buy something you don’t want. This means that you should not believe every doorstep seller who presents all sorts of products and services at the door of your house. You also have the right to ask for identification documents and even contact the company represented by bogus tradesmen. More than that, you should be a little bit reticent when it comes to providing personal details like the ones related to your bank account when a salesman at the door asks for such information. You should make verification and see if the doorstep seller is genuine or not and if the company he/she represents really exists. We must add that any kind of product or service bought should have a guarantee option and also a bill. Unfortunately, doorstep frauds might have other faces too, meaning that false sellers might be undercover burglars you invite in, without knowing this fact. If you purchased poor quality products at high prices and if you paid with a credit card right at the door, you might want to verify if you have been a victim of doorstep fraud. Any suspicious thoughts you might have, do not hesitate to get in touch with one of our criminal defence solicitors in London and ask for immediate legal advice and support.
