Dodgy Window Cleaner

    Hi all,

    Just making everyone aware, had a guy roll up to the house yesterday asking Mrs 0lordy if she wanted the windows cleaned. She said she was sorted, but he persisted, a bit too much, asking more questions and also if he could take a look around the back to give a quote for cleaning the windows. She obviously refused.

    I would have let it go, but when he was leaving, he reversed the car right around the side of the house so that he could get a look at the back anyway.

    Looked like he was casing the place.

    Won't give any details here, but will PM them.

    Would like to know if anyone else has had similar experiences?

    I'd say call the gardai and alert them, but you might as well write it down on paper and try to get it to the UK police in a bottle thrown to sea.

    This is more common than you think (sadly) another favourite these type of people is calling to your house and telling people they install alarm systems (great way of finding out if you even have one. (my Granny was targetted this way but thankfully the family is all around her home)

    Always rememeber NEVER let anyone into your house unless you a) expect them and or b) they show proper ID.

    If at any stage they refuse to show ID then tell them to GTFO and if they do have ID do not be afraid of calling their head office for confirmation of their story. True callers will not have any issue with this.

    Cheers for the heads up though!
