Rogue Traders

Rogue Traders are criminals. They appear to be professional tradespeople, using printed leaflets and well maintained vehicles but these are used to con consumers. Criminal activities can include fraud, charging high prices for poor work or charging for work that is not done or necessary and in the worst cases, commit burglary.

Bogus callers and rogue traders are a menace to everybody, but especially to older people. The problems they cause are well known to Trading Standards and the Police.

There are many forms of doorstep crime such as:

  • distraction burglary
  • bogus callers
  • bogus officials
  • high pressure Doorstep selling
  • rogue traders.

Please contact the City of Wolverhampton Council Trading Standards to report any rogue traders that you have experienced.
