Two weeks ago Trading Standards put out an alert of rogue traders going door to door selling fish in the Weeting area (alert printed below). We have since received reports of them operating in East Rudham and Syderstone and our advice is not to deal with door to door sellers and to ring 101 if you are aware of any rogue trader activity.

Rogue Trader Alert: Door to door fish sellers – 29 November 2019

Residents need to watch out for cold callers selling fish door to door. This follows a report from the Weeting area where three men all wearing long white coats were seen cold calling at properties offering frozen fish. They were seen to return to a plain white Ford Transit van. In the past these types of sellers have been known to use high pressure sales tactics and there have been issues with the quality of the fish being offered, whether the type of fish is as claimed, and whether it has been appropriately stored for transportation. It is possible this seller may continue to move on to other locations within Norfolk. Do not deal with cold callers and never be pressurised into buying on the doorstep. If you are approached by this seller or are concerned about possible rogue trader activity in your area, please report it to us via our partners the Citizens Advice consumer helpline on 03454 04 05 06 or to Norfolk Police on 101.
