Bogus Callers

  • Most people who come to your door will be genuine callers. But it's best to make sure.
  • Fitting a door chain or spy hole will help you check who the caller is.
  • If you were not expecting someone to call, a genuine caller will not mind waiting outside while you contact their company. Find the phone number in the phone book or look on your last bill.
  • Most companies have a password scheme.
  • If you let someone into your home, even if it is someone you know, and you become uncomfortable, make excuses and leave. Go to a neighbour's house, or ask a friend to come back with you.
