Re: Bloody fire extinguisher scam
well spoke to both preston and hyndburn BC and they're sayin they do no such thing - that if they themselves were to come around and find that we were lacking the correct fire safety features they wud incorporate opinions of the local fire brigade etc and that this woman claiming to be from a company called dolby fire group - was just tryna flog us fire extinguishers
amazing how she bought an engineers car today of all days and didnt have any business cards with her...

Re: Bloody fire extinguisher scam
I posted this prob on another forum and one of the other users had an interesting reply...
dude, it's a scam...!! donkeys years ago, a cousin of mine worked as a salesman for a company that sold these fire extinguishers. Cold calling on premises, usually asian cos they are renowned for flouting the law, spouting off all this legislation just to intimidate the shopkeeper. he made a mint doing this work, lots of gullible people still out there.

Re: Bloody fire extinguisher scam
yes it is a scam. report it to the police. she is probably cashing in on the recent fire cuts annoncement, but she is flogging a dead horse as it appears no one cares.

Re: Bloody fire extinguisher scam
wait for her to come back, lock the door and ring the police...then sit back and watch her squirm....what she has said is a load of crap...health and safety wouldnt come down on you as it would be part of your insurance policy to provide a fire point/extinguishers and as long as you have and have them re-filled or re-tested every 3 years or so your fine..get her done !

Re: Bloody fire extinguisher scam
First rule, when someone claims to be from a government department (which the HSE is) or the local Council, ask to see their ID. If they are genuine they will have one, containing a photograph and the department's logo. If you are still not sure, ring their office telephone number, while they are there, and check them out. You should be able to find any department's number in the phone book. Any genuine official will have absolutely no objection to you doing this.
This woman was nothing but a very determined, and very dishonest, saleswoman.
