Let the following be a cautionary tale of making transactions over the phone because one of our NHW members has learnt the hard way.

He received a telephone call from a company calling themselves Blueline Publications from Liverpool, asking him to take out an advertisement in a CRIME PREVENTION magazine.  He agreed in principle but asked them to send the advert and an invoice, which they did. 

His wife was a little suspicious about the documentation and rang the police who said quite rightly that the Police did not endorse any involvement with this publication.  She then went to look at their website to find that it didn't didn't exist, only page after page of people who had been duped by this scam. 

Their charge for this advert was a MERE £295.00 plus V.A.T!!!!!. 
Please bear this in mind should you get such a teleohone call.
