A message from the Home Watch Team


In the last 24hrs the Home Watch Team have been contacted re cold calling telephone calls in the Sefton area.

PC SUPPORT SERVICES
Several Southport and Formby residents have contacted Sefton Crime Prevention officers and Southport Homewatch to report that they had received 'cold calling' telephone calls from a company offering PC support services.

One of the recipients of these calls had a second call from them and was provided with the following information.

Company   :   Risk Tec Support (or similar)
Tel Number   :01614083331  (goes to answer phone)

HOME SECURITY SURVEYS
We have also been contact by Sefton residents who have received 'cold calling' from an unknown company conducting 'Home Security Surveys' ?.

The callers asked for personal information, i.e. age of the occupants, the type of house they live in etc.

We have not, at the time of sending this message, been able to contact either company and little information, other than above, is known about them.

Therefore if you receive such telephone calls be careful as to what personal information you disclose to them or to any financial commitment you may enter into.
