HAMPSHIRE Trading Standards are warning about rogue traders are cold calling and leaflet dropping in the Harestock area of Winchester.
They are offering roof and guttering services, roof repairs and tarmacing work but are are not providing consumers with the required notice of right to cancel, which gives consumers a seven-day cooling-off period.
Instead they are starting work straight away after getting householders to sign away these statutory rights.
If anyone has any information about these traders or requires any advice on doorstep crime they can contact Hampshire County Council's quick response team on 01962 833666, where specially trained officers are on hand to provide assistance.
