They may pose as an official caller from a local authority or a utility company with a plausible explanation for needing to enter the house. Always ask for identification before letting anyone into your home. All Lewisham Homes staff carry identification and if you are still unsure you can call our offices for verification on 0800 028 2 028.
The most important thing to remember when answering your door to callers that you don't know is - don't let them in until you are sure that they are genuine.
