Reports of Cold Callers in Wingrave

We have received reports of cold callers visiting residential properties in the Wingrave area. While not all doorstep callers are acting unlawfully, we encourage residents to remain vigilant and take sensible precautions when dealing with unexpected visitors.

✅ Do not feel pressured into making an immediate decision. Genuine traders will allow you time to consider any offer.

✅ Always ask for identification and check the credentials of anyone claiming to represent a business, utility company, or organisation.

✅ Do not allow unknown callers into your home unless you are completely satisfied as to their identity and purpose.

✅ Never hand over cash, bank cards, or personal information to someone who has called unexpectedly at your door.

✅ If you are interested in work being carried out, obtain multiple quotes from reputable companies and seek recommendations from friends, family, or trusted sources.

✅ Look out for neighbours who may be vulnerable, particularly elderly residents, and share this advice with them.

✅ If you feel threatened, pressured, or suspect criminal activity, call 999 immediately. For non-emergency concerns or to report suspicious behaviour, contact Thames Valley Police on 101 or report online via the Thames Valley Police website.
