Advice on Doorstep Selling


Dear Resident

We’re issuing advice to residents around doorstep selling.

Also known as cold calling or canvassing, doorstep selling involves unsolicited sales pitches being made at your home without prior arrangement. 

 

We have been made aware that a male is door knocking, attempting to sell ariel shots of your house to you for an extortionate amount of money. 

If you receive an unexpected knock at the door, our advice would be to check who is there and what they are there for before opening it. 
Politely refuse to engage with sellers and do not feel pressured to buy anything or offer money. 

 

If you feel intimidated or threatened, please contact police.

The attached contains a downloadable window notice that you can print and display as required.
