Kent County Council has received reports of doorstep criminals cold calling residents in the Swale area.
How it works
They claim to be carrying out work as part of ‘Swale Funding Information’ on behalf of the government and councils. This company is NOT working with Swale Borough Council and is not an official provider of Energy Company Obligation Grants.
What to do
• Do not open the door to the doorstep cold caller
• If you want to apply for an Energy Company Obligation Grant, contact the Warm Homes scheme direct who provide quotes from trusted contractors at: www.kent.gov.uk/warmhomes
• For more information on Energy Company Obligation Grants contact your energy supplier
• Warn vulnerable family members, friends and neighbours living in the area
If you feel afraid or threatened by a doorstep caller, phone 999
