Title: Caught out
Post by: DASERVICES on August 14, 2008, 05:55:12 pm

Had an email from an Council official asking us for information about a leaflet they had and wether this person was a member of the SLWCN.

To cut a long story short it appears this person was advertising for window cleaning claiming to be something he was not, and also advertises in Yellow Pages.

This is where it gets interesting, the official was from Trading Standards. The window cleaner is now going to get a nasty surprise. It also now appears that Trading Standards are looking into anyone that delivers leaflets and checking to see if they are legit.
