"Beat a Quote" Builders Scam in Baydon
Residents in Ermin Close in Baydon reported to police on Monday 16th January 2012 at around 16:00hrs, that a company was touting for business and distributing leaflets.
The company is called “Beat a Quote” and leaflets show the company address as Prama House, 267 Banbury Road, Oxford OX27HT, telephone numbers 01865 339544 or mobile 07748 872864.
The people who run this company are from Swindon and have both recently been convicted of Rogue Trading Fraud offences and imprisoned following a case led by Oxfordshire Trading Standards. The company targeted elderly and vulnerable residents charging extortionate prices for work with initial low quotes.
Neighbourhood Watch Co-ordinators for the area are aware and local and Oxfordshire Trading Standards have been alerted.
Please forward this information on as you see fit.
Kind Regards
