🚨 Consumer Alert – Kent Residents (5 June 2026) 🚨

We’ve seen a rise in doorstep crime and scams across Kent this week, including Ashford, Gravesend, Deal, Tonbridge and Maidstone.

⚠️ Doorstep scams

Criminals are pressuring residents into paying for unnecessary roofing, gardening, drain and waste removal work.

Remember:

Never agree to work from cold callers
Trusted traders can be found via Trading Standards Checked
Always be wary of pressure tactics

👉 Report suspicious doorstep callers anonymously to Crimestoppers: 0800 555 111

📞 Phone scams warning

Scam callers are impersonating:

Police officers
Banks
Amazon and other companies

They may claim:

Your bank account is compromised
Your card needs replacing
A family member has been arrested
You must buy gold or hand over valuables to a courier

❗ The police and banks will NEVER:

Ask for your PIN or banking details
Send someone to collect your cash, cards or valuables

If in doubt:

Hang up immediately
Call your bank using 159
Report to Kent Police
🛒 Online & purchase scams

Be cautious of unexpected calls asking for personal or financial details, including “Amazon account” scams. Always contact companies directly using official details.

🗑️ Waste disposal reminder

Before paying anyone to take waste away:

Check their Waste Carriers Licence
Ask for a Waste Transfer Note
Record their vehicle registration

These simple steps help prevent fly-tipping and keep Kent clean.

⚠️ Product recalls
Gü Frozen Dessert – undeclared hazelnuts & soya
Maxi-Cosi Car Seat Base – safety fitting issue
XO Poppy Power Bank (TK Maxx) – fire risk

If you own any of these products, stop using them immediately and follow retailer advice.

💡 Stay safe

If something feels wrong — trust your instincts. It’s always OK to stop, check, and report.
