Bromley Trading Standards – protect yourself from scams
Bromley Trading Standards work hard to prevent Bromley residents from becoming victims of doorstep crime, particularly those who are most at risk in our communities. They encourage family, friends and neighbours to look out for those around them who could fall victim to doorstep criminals or scams. If you, a neighbour, or someone you know is being affected by doorstep crime, contact the Rapid Response line on 07903 852090.
To keep yourself up to date with what’s happening in the area, visit the Trading Standard Alerts website. Alternatively signup to the email newsletter to get the latest information delivered directly to your inbox. The more you know, the easier it is to protect yourself and those around you.
