Householders warned against costly burglar alarms
10:20am Thursday 18th March 2010 in
Householders are being warned not to accept a free burglar alarm which then ties the victim to a contract costing thousands of pounds.
The Trading Standards service is urging consumers to say no to companies who are offering these free appliances and claiming that they are working with the police or as part of a Government scheme, or that they are researching for a fire and security alarm system company.
Some unwary people have then found they are tied to a six-year contract agreement costing up to £6,000. Anyone needing advice can call Consumer Direct on 08454 04 05 06.
