Phone Scam Protection

Being a carer myself, I worry about my Mother’s safety. Particularly from people knocking on the door, hence having a video phone installed. However, there’s not much we can do about the phone. Over the last few years, I’ve had my Mother constantly asking me if everything in the bank is alright due to a scammer calling mum and trying to get money from her.

I got to meet Pei whilst doing my market stall recently. Even though I had a phone jammer installed, the scammers were still getting through somehow and I paid quite a lot for it.

I can safely say that the free service the Buckinghamshire and Surry trading standards provide and the monitoring for intelligence is a relief for me, particularly with my met police background.

My personal testimonial

“Thank you so much for visiting my Mother and me and securing even more security for her. I am so glad to have met you and your dedicated team at Friar’s square market. Tracey done a great installation and showed real dedication.

I can safely say that the free service the Buckinghamshire and Surry trading standards provide and the monitoring for intelligence is a relief for me, particularly with my met police background.

Since having the device installed, I have noticed that since all my Mother’s unknown callers (i.e. scammers trying to get through to her) have been transferred through to me. They call and when I answer they hang-up. Also, I can keep a record of there numbers and block them at the same time.

Less stress for my Mother, and more intelligence for you”
