We have had reports of people knocking on doors in the Gillingham area enquiring about Broadband. Although we do get legitimate companies coming round, We do recommend you do your own research and contact your own providers to see what deals you could get.

Tips to keep you safe

- If you are not sure who is at the door-don't open it.

-Remember to use your door chain if you have one

- Always properly check the identity of all callers if they are not known to before opening the door

-Beware of common tricks such as being asked to use the phone, wanting to retrieve a ball, or being asked to check the Water,gas or electric

- Do not except numbers provided by the callers as they could be bogus, always look them up

-Be suspicious of anyone you don't know. If someone is looking for work or offering services, don't rush to agree or sign any documents. Tell them you want to get a second opinion.

-Ask a friend or neighbour to be available to help you if you need them.
