Complaints re high pressure tele sales
Posted on 14/12/2011
We have received a number of complaints about a male ringing stating he is seeking adverts for the North Yorkshire Police Federation magazine and allegedly becoming abusive insulting & threatening to people. The male is described as having a Merseyside accent. Please note or magazine is produced near Leeds and they do not engage in such tactics. Until December 2009 we did deal with a provider in the North West who used a number of company names. Their right to refer to us or use our name / logo etc was withdrawn at that time in 2009. Anyone having any issues re people soliciting advertising purporting to be acting for us is requested to obtain a name & phone number and then contact the Federation office for verification before agreeing to any advertising or paying any fee and if necessary also refer the matter to Trading Standards. Please note that we reserve the right to take legal advice / action if appropriate in relation to improper tele sales.
